.SH NAME
crypto \- The Crypto Application
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The purpose of the Crypto application is to provide an Erlang API to cryptographic functions, see \fBcrypto(3erl)\fR\&\&. Note that the API is on a fairly low level and there are some corresponding API functions available in \fBpublic_key(3erl)\fR\&, on a higher abstraction level, that uses the crypto application in its implementation\&.
.SH "DEPENDENCIES"

.LP
The current crypto implementation uses nifs to interface OpenSSLs crypto library and requires \fIOpenSSL\fR\& package version 0\&.9\&.8 or higher\&.
.LP
Source releases of OpenSSL can be downloaded from the OpenSSL project home page, or mirror sites listed there\&.
