Nettle

Nettle is a cryptographic library designed to fit easily in a wide range of toolkits and applications. It began as a collection of low-level cryptography functions from lsh in 2001. Since June 2009 (version 2.0) Nettle is a GNU package. Features Since version 3, nettle provides the AES block cipher (a subset of Rijndael) (with assembly optimizations for x86 and sparc), the ARCFOUR (also known as RC4) stream cipher (with x86 and sparc assembly), the ARCTWO (also known as RC2) stream cipher, BLOWFISH, CAMELLIA (with x86 and x86_64 assembly optimizations), CAST-128, DES and 3DES block ciphers, the ChaCha stream cipher (with assembly for x86_64), GOSTHASH94, the MD2, MD4, and MD5 (with x86 assembly) digests, the PBKDF2 key derivation function, the POLY1305 (with assembly for x86_64) and UMAC message authentication codes, RIPEMD160, the Salsa20 stream cipher (with assembly for x86_64 and ARM), the SERPENT block cipher (with assembly for x86_64), SHA-1 (with x86, x86_64 and ARM assembly), the SHA-2 (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512) digests, SHA-3 (a subset of the Keccak digest family), the TWOFISH block cipher, RSA, DSA and ECDSA public-key algorithms, the Yarrow pRNG. Version 3.1 introduced support for Curve25519 and EdDSA operations. The public-key algorithms use GMP. Nettle is used by GnuTLS. Licence and motivation
