<b>Important Note</b>: \n
<code>Security/crypto</code> is a new replacement library, the previous RSA-based version being <code>Security/cryptalg</code>.
Note that the <code>Security/cryptalg</code> module is still available from GT, but configurability defaults now enable 
the new component in all builds.

See @ref mainpage_cryptalg "Cryptalg documentation".

@section crypto_apis Security/Cryptography APIs

The crypto API is a new component that is based on Symbian-developed code rather than code licensed from RSA.

The component is configurable, and can be built as either a strong or weak library based on a compilation option. 
By its very nature, the code - being capable of strong encryption - is subject to export controls (as is the strong binary).
 
See the Legal Notices for the Security Subsystem and the 3rd Party Supplier Information for guidelines on handling of this
code.
	
The cryptography component includes these significant sub-components:
-# Symmetric and asymmetric ciphers. \n
	The following ciphers are supported:
	- Symmetric ciphers:	DES, 3DES, RC2, RC4, AES.
	- Asymmetric ciphers:	RSA, DSA, DH
-# Hash functions. The hash functions supported are MD2, MD5, SHA (SHA1) and HMAC.
-# Random number generator (RNG). Several cryptographic applications like one-time pads, key generation and random nonces 
	all rely upon the randomness, unpredictability and irreproducibility of the random number generator 
	<A HREF="http://www.schneier.com/book-applied.html">[AC]</A>. The RNG uses
	RANROT seeded by random data available on the target hardware (e.g. free running counters available on ARM processors).
-# Big Integers. Implementation of arbitrarily large integers (Big ints, big numbers).  This is only intended for use by 
	the crypto library and not by application code, so as few functions as possible are exported.


The following APIs are exposed by the <code>Security/Cryptography</code> component:
<table>
<tr><th>API Name</th><th>Broad Purpose</th><th>Intended Users</th></tr>
<tr>
	<td>Random</td>
	<td>Generation of cryptographically strong random numbers 
	<A HREF="http://www.schneier.com/paper-prngs.html">[PRNG]</A>.</td>
	<td>Used internally by certman and crypto. External users include <code>networking/tls</code> (SSL and WTLS support) 
	and <code>app-engines/cntmodel</code> (generating a unique machine id).</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>Hash</td>
	<td>MD2, MD5, SHA (SHA1) and HMAC implementations.</td>
	<td>Used internally by appinst, certman and crypto.
		<code>networking/tls</code> uses a pseudo-random function (PRF) based on HMAC. Both MD5 and SHA-1 are used in TLS.</td>

	<td>Password Based Encryption. Efficient password based encryption and decryption of multiple elements</td>
	<td>This is useful if one wants random access to an encrypted source consisting of multiple, independent, elements; 
	for example a database or a store</td>
