NAME

       crypto - The Crypto Application

DESCRIPTION

       The  purpose  of  the  Crypto  application  is  to  provide an Erlang API to cryptographic functions, see
       crypto(3erl). Note that the API is on a fairly low level and there are some corresponding  API  functions
       available  in  public_key(3erl),  on  a higher abstraction level, that uses the crypto application in its
       implementation.

DEPENDENCIES

       The current crypto implementation uses nifs to interface OpenSSLs crypto  library  and  requires  OpenSSL
       package version 0.9.8 or higher.

       Source  releases  of OpenSSL can be downloaded from the OpenSSL project home page, or mirror sites listed
       there.
