+<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.

+@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>
