BouncyCastle.Cryptography 2.7.0-beta.98

The Bouncy Castle Cryptography Library For .NET

NuGet NuGet

The Bouncy Castle Cryptography library is a .NET implementation of cryptographic algorithms and protocols. It was developed by the Legion of the Bouncy Castle, a registered Australian Charity, with a little help! The Legion, and the latest goings on with this package, can be found at https://www.bouncycastle.org.

In addition to providing basic cryptography algorithms, the package also provides support for CMS, OpenPGP, (D)TLS, TSP, X.509 certificate generation and more. The package also includes implementations of the following NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization algorithms: ML-DSA, ML-KEM, SLH-DSA, Falcon, Classic McEliece, FrodoKEM, NTRU, NTRU Prime, Picnic, Saber, and BIKE. These should all be considered EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change or removal.

The Legion also gratefully acknowledges the contributions made to this package by others (see here for the current list). If you would like to contribute to our efforts please feel free to get in touch with us or visit our donations page, sponsor some specific work, or purchase a support contract.
