+SUMMARY="A free C++ class library of cryptographic schemes"
+DESCRIPTION="Crypto++ is a C++ Class Library of Cryptographic Schemes \
+The library contains the following algorithms:
+* Authenticated encryption schemes: (GCM, CCM, EAX)
+* High speed stream ciphers: ChaCha (ChaCha8/12/20), Panama
+* AES and AES candidates: AES (Rijndael), RC6, MARS, Twofish, Serpent
+* Other block ciphers: IDEA, DES, Camellia, SEED, RC5, Blowfish,
+* Block cipher modes of operation: ECB, CBC, CBC (CTS), CFB, OFB
+* Message authentication codes: VMAC, HMAC, GMAC, CMAC, CBC-MAC, DMAC
+* Hash functions: BLAKE2 (BLAKE2b, BLAKE2s), SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3
+* Public-key cryptography: RSA, DSA, ElGamal, Nyberg-Rueppel (NR)
+* Padding schemes for public-key systems: PKCS#1 v2.0, OAEP, PSS,
+* Key agreement schemes: Diffie-Hellman (DH), Unified Diffie-Hellman (DH2),
+* Elliptic curve cryptography: ECDSA, ECNR, ECIES, ECDH, ECMQV
+* Insecure or obsolescent algorithms: MD2, MD4, MD5
+* And many more other algorithms."
