“Cryptographic libraries are at the heart of secure communication systems. If these libraries are poorly designed, or difficult to use, they could be the Achilles heel in any system. However Cryptlib’s architecture has been carefully crafted to protect systems at all levels. The compact and modular nature of Cryptlib enabled us to implement multiple secure protocols in a very small platform. Author Peter Gutmann’s help was also very useful in doing both the original port and extensions such as SSHv2. The wide range of Cryptlib code and extensive documentation make this library the only complete choice for cryptographic needs.”

“Cryptlib’s high-level functions enable me to effect complex S/MIME
transformations with less setup and fewer function calls than other S/MIME
products I considered. At the same time, access to its low-level properties
and functions is invaluable in determining during interoperability testing
exactly where encryption, signing, and certificate problems lie.
Peter Gutmann, the developer, has always responded quickly and usefully to
my comments and questions. The few enhancements I requested (e.g. InterBase support) were provided quickly and correctly. Cryptlib should be the reference standard for security toolkits.”

“We have successfully used Cryptlib to deliver a smart card based PKI system to a Local Government Authority in the United Kingdom. The PKI is currently being used to manage SSL certificates that control access to the Authority’s web site. Cryptlib was initially chosen due to it’s Open Source licensing and breadth of functionality. During development we found that the support available through the mailing list was helpful and responsive. We hope to explore Cryptlib’s functionality further in future projects.“

“In all, I believe Cryptlib is a fantastic library. It’s clear that Peter Gutmann has meticulously thought through the major issues in designing a cryptographic library. Cryptlib should be the model for people interested in properly implementing cryptography within their products.“

“Cryptlib has been integrated into our MailRules software in order to offer secure, encrypted information to our customers. Demand for secure information from our customers has been increasing at a rapid rate over the last few months. MailRules has worldwide customers in a wide variety of industries such as Government, Petroleum, Retail, Telecommunications, Payroll and eCommerce. MailRules can check for incoming messages based on the sender or subject of the e-mail. These messages are unpacked, unencrypted then placed into specified input folders.“
