Description

QCA is a library that provides an easy API for a range of cryptographic features, including SSL/TLS, X.509 certificates, SASL, OpenPGP, smartcards, and much more.

Functionality is supplied via plugins. This is useful for avoiding dependence on a particular crypto library and makes upgrading easier, as there is no need to recompile your application when adding or upgrading a crypto plugin.

In order for QCA to be of much use, you will want to install some plugins.

QCA was originally created to support the security needs of the Psi XMPP/Jabber client project.
