COPYING applies only for the mcrypt program and not the +algorithms which most of them are public domain. + +A mailing list on mcrypt is mcrypt-dev@lists.hellug.gr +Subscribe by visiting http://lists.hellug.gr/mailman/listinfo/mcrypt-dev + +** +** Some hints: + +Since 2.5.4 libmcrypt does not use dynamic loading for the modules by default. +All the algorithms and modes, are now included in the library. To enable +the old dynamic loading behaviour use the --enable-dynamic-loading in the +configure script. + +That way you can statically link the library and be 100% thread safe, +since dlopen is not always thread safe. + +You can also enable dynamic loading and include some algorithms into the +library. To include algorithms in the library use the +--with-included-algos parameter in the configure script. +Eg: ./configure --with-included-algos="rijndael-128 arcfour stream cbc cfb" + + |
