Botan (Japanese for peony flower) is a C++ cryptography library released under the
permissive Simplified BSD <https://botan.randombit.net/license.txt>_ license.
Botan's goal is to be the best option for cryptography in C++ by offering the
tools necessary to implement a range of practical systems, such as TLS protocol,
X.509 certificates, modern AEAD ciphers, PKCS#11 and TPM hardware support,
password hashing, and post quantum crypto schemes. A Python binding is included,
and several other language bindings <https://github.com/randombit/botan/wiki/Language-Bindings> are available.
The library is accompanied by a featureful
command line interface <https://botan.randombit.net/handbook/cli.html>.
See the documentation <https://botan.randombit.net/handbook>_ for more
information about included features.
Development is coordinated on GitHub <https://github.com/randombit/botan>
and contributions are welcome. If you need help, please open an issue on
GitHub <https://github.com/randombit/botan/issues>.
If you think you have found a security issue, see the security page <https://botan.randombit.net/security.html>_ for contact information.
