In + most contexts, you need more than the basic cryptographic + algorithms, you also need some way to keep track of available + algorithms, their properties and variants. You often have + some algorithm selection process, often dictated by a protocol + you want to implement. + + And as the requirements of applications differ in subtle and + not so subtle ways, an API that fits one application well can + be a pain to use in a different context. And that is why + there are so many different cryptographic libraries around. + + Nettle tries to avoid this problem by doing one thing, the + low-level crypto stuff, and providing a simple but general + interface to it. In particular, Nettle doesn't do algorithm + selection. It doesn't do memory allocation. It doesn't do any + I/O. + ''; + + license = licenses.gpl2Plus; + + homepage = http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/; + + maintainers = with maintainers; [ wkennington ]; + platforms = platforms.all; + }; +} + +// + +stdenv.lib.optionalAttrs stdenv.isSunOS { + # Make sure the right <gmp.h> is found, and not the incompatible + # /usr/include/mp.h from OpenSolaris.
