How To Install libcrypto++-doc on Ubuntu 22.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libcrypto++-doc
on Ubuntu 22.04.
What is libcrypto++-doc
libcrypto++-doc is:
Crypto++ is library for creating C++ programs which use cryptographic algorithms. The library uses a Pipes & Filters architecture with heavy use of templates and abstract base classes. The cryptographic tools include:
- Authenticated encryption schemes (GCM, CCM, EAX),
- High speed stream ciphers (Panama, Sosemanuk, Salsa20, XSalsa20),
- AES and candidates (Rijndael, RC6, MARS, Twofish, Serpent, CAST-256),
- Other symmetric block ciphers (IDEA, Triple-DES, Camellia, SEED, RC5, Blowfish, TEA, XTEA, Skipjack, SHACAL-2),
- Block cipher modes of operation (ECB, CBC, CTS, CFB, OFB, CTR),
- Message authentication codes (VMAC, HMAC, CMAC, CBC-MAC, DMAC, Two-Track-MAC),
- Hash functions (SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, Tiger, WHIRLPOOL, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-256, RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-320),
- Public-key cryptography (RSA, DSA, ElGamal, NR, RW, LUC, LUCELG, DLIES, ESIGN),
- Padding schemes for public-key systems (PKCS#1, OAEP, PSS, PSSR, EMSA2, EMSA5),
- Key agreement schemes (DH, MQV, LUCDIF, XTR-DH),
- Elliptic curve cryptography (ECDSA, ECNR, ECIES, ECDH, ECMQV),
- Backwards compatibility algorithms (MD2, MD4, MD5, Panama Hash, DES, ARC4, SEAL 3.0, WAKE, WAKE-OFB, DESX, RC2, SAFER, 3-WAY, GOST, SHARK, CAST-128, Square),
- Pseudo-random number generators, and a whole lot more. Alternative libraries are libgcrypt and nettle.
