Libraries/Source Code

Encryption
Putty: Win32 SSH / SFTP Client with Source Code
Putty is not a library, but a set of programs that
implement Secure Shell access, Secure FTP (SFTP),
Telnet, etc. Since it is open source, employing
things like strong authentication and secure
sessions, it may be a useful source of information
for your own internet software.
TurboPower LockBox
This cross-platform toolkit supports Windows and
Linux X11 applications (and possibly other Unix X11
environments as well). It contains components and
routines for Delphi, Kylix and C++Builders that
support data encryption. Algorithms supported
include Blowfish, RSA, MD5, SHA-1, DES, triple-DES,
Rijndael AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), etc. It
also provides support for digitally signing messages
with the standard Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA).
LockBox is open source.
OpenSSL
If you are writing an application (browser, email,
server, etc) that requires the use of either Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL versions 2 or 3), or Transport
Layer Security (TLS version 1), you can obtain this
free open source "commercial-grade" OpenSSL library.
The library allows you to add cryptographic
functionality to your programs, apparently both
server programs as well as SSL supporting clients.
You can use it in both commercial and non-commercial
programs. This is the successor to the well-known
SSLeay library. (Trivia: in case you don't see the
connection,
OpenSSL = Open plus
SSLeay minus eay
where "eay" stands for Eric Young, probably his
initials.)
OpenSSH
This is not a library but an open source suite of
programs that support Secure Shell access (SSH),
namely ssh (which replaces telnet and rlogin), scp
(which replaces rcp and ftp), sftp (Secure FTP,
which also replaces ftp), sftp-server, sshd
(server-side), etc. Since the programs are open
source, providing strong authentication and secure
sessions, it may presumably provide the base for
your implementation of SSH. It is supports a wide
number of operating systems: OpenBSD, NetBSD,
FreeBSD, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, NeXT, SCO, SNI/Reliant
Unix, Solaris, Digital Unix/Tru64/OSF, and Mac OS X.
In SSH1 mode, the encryption algorithms supported
include 3DES and Blowfish. In SSH2, 3DES, Blowfish,
CAST128, Arcfour, and AES are supported.
Network Security Services
Used in Netscape and Mozilla products, NSS (Network
Security Services a.k.a Netscape Security Services)
allows you to develop security-enabled server
applications that support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS
#5, PKCS #7, PKCS #8, PKCS #9, PKCS #10, PKCS #11,
PKCS #12, S/MIME, X 509 v3 certificates, RSA, DSA,
Triple DES, DES, RC2, RC4, SHA-1, MD2, MD5, etc. The
software is released under the Mozilla Public
License and the GNU General Public License.
GnuPG: The GNU Privacy Guard
This is not a library but a fully functioning
program that functions as a replacement for PGP.
Since the primary function of the software is
encryption, you can probably extract the encryption
source code (released under the GNU GPL) for your
own application if you wish.
Crypto++: C++ Class Library Of Cryptographic Schemes
This free C++ class library is a class hierachy with
an API defined by the base abstract classes. It
handles a large number of cryptographic schemes
(including public key cryptography) and cipher
modes. In no particular order, here's a list of some
stuff supported: RC6, MARS, Rijndael, Twofish,
Serpent, IDEA, DES, Triple DES (DES-EDE2 and
DES-EDE3), DESX (DES-XEX3), RC2, RC5, Blowfish,
Diamond2, TEA, SAFER, 3-WAY, GOST, SHARK, CAST-128,
Square, CBC padded, CBC ciphertext stealing (CTS),
CFB, OFB, counter mode, ARC4, SEAL, WAKE, Sapphire,
BlumBlumShub, RSA, DSA, ElGamal, Nyberg-Rueppel
(NR), BlumGoldwasser, Rabin, Rabin-Williams (RW),
LUC, LUCELG, Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems, PKCS#1
v2.0, OAEP, PSSR, IEEE P1363 EMSA2, Diffie-Hellman
(DH), Unified Diffie-Hellman (DH2),
Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (MQV), LUCDIF, SHA-1, MD2, MD5,
HAVAL, RIPEMD-160, Tiger, MD5-MAC, HMAC, XOR-MAC,
CBC-MAC, DMAC, Luby-Rackoff, MDC, ANSI X9.17
appendix C, PGP's RandPool (for pseudo random number
generation, PRNG), Shamir's secret sharing and
Rabin's information dispersal schemes, DEFLATE (the
gzip/zip/unzip compression), 32 bit CRC, prime
number generation and verification, etc. Platforms
supported include Win32, Unix and Macintosh.
Cryptlib
Use this library to add encryption and
authentication services to your program. You can
choose from a multitude of encryption and
authentication algorithms: Blowfish, DES, triple
DES, IDEA, Skipjack, CAST, AES, RC2, RC4, RC5,
RIPEMD-160, SHA hash algorithms, HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA,
HMAC-RIPEMD-160 Mac algorithms, Diffie-Hellman, DSA,
Elgamal, RSA public key encryption, etc. There is
also support for high-level capabilities like
certificate handling, a database interface, S/MIME
(allowing you to encrypt and authenticate, for
example, email), etc. It can even make use of
external crypto devices like hardware crypto
accelerators. The library comes with source code for
Unix, Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP, Windows 3.x, MSDOS,
OS/2, BeOS, Macintosh, and Tandem, with adaptations
for VM/CMS and MVS mainframe environments.
