What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A collection of from-scratch C implementations of standard cryptography algorithms such as AES and SHA-1, released into the public domain. They are intended for educational purposes and are explicitly not hardened against side-channel attacks.
Use cases
- learn how AES works by reading readable C code
- compare a crypto specification to an actual implementation
- generate test vectors for a product
- study standard hash and cipher algorithms
- embed simple crypto primitives in a project without dependencies
When to choose
- you want clear, dependency-free reference implementations of crypto algorithms
- you need public-domain code for educational or testing purposes
- you want to verify implementations against standard test vectors
When to avoid
- you need cryptographically secure, side-channel-resistant code in production
- you need optimized performance for speed or space
- you need a maintained library with a license and active support
