Description : easy-to-use implementation of Twofish crypto algorithm
This is an implementation of the Twofish cryptographic algorithm in C
that should be very easy to integrate into your own program.
The main properties of this library are:
* Free: The library can be freely used for any application. (For details
see the licensing terms and disclaimer in the source code file itself.)
* Fast: The code has been optimised for speed, at the expense of
memory use and code size.
* Easy to use: Care has been taken to make the code easy to
integrate into a larger project. Extensive comments explain how to
perform the integration and how to use the library.
* Portable: The default code is written in fully portable C. By
adjusting certain macro definitions the user can provide
platform-specific code for certain functions, which can improve
the speed.
* Documented: Extensive documentation is available in the comments
of the source files. This includes information about integration,
optimisation for specific platforms, the library API, and detailed
explanation of all the code.
* Self-testing: Extensive self-tests are run every time the library
is initialised.
* Large: The code has been optimised for speed, which leads to the
use of large tables. No attempt has been made to minimise the code
or data size.
