for a possessive (like her, his, whose, their, and its). Note that I didn't check for proper use of "its" (when it should be "it is" or "it has" instead). I also saw over 15 other grammar or punctuation problems, but not fixed in this commit.

Libmcrypt:
|
|
|
|
libmcrypt is the library which implements all the algorithms and
|
|
modes found in mcrypt. It is currently under development but it
|
|
seems to work pretty good. Unlike most encryption libraries
|
|
libmcrypt does not have everything (random number generators,
|
|
hashes, hmac implementation, key exchange, public key encryption
|
|
etc.). Libmcrypt only implements an interface to access block and
|
|
stream encryption algorithms. Its purpose was to assist in the
|
|
development of mcrypt by providing a uniform interface to access
|
|
several different encryption algorithms, so that the main program
|
|
is independent of the encryption algorithms and the modes used.
|
|
|
|
Libmcrypt supports the algorithms:
|
|
BLOWFISH, TWOFISH, DES, TripleDES, 3-WAY, SAFER-sk64, SAFER-sk128,
|
|
SAFER+, LOKI97, GOST, RC2, RC6, MARS, IDEA, RIJNDAEL-128 (AES),
|
|
RIJNDAEL-192, RIJNDAEL-256, SERPENT, CAST-128 (known as CAST5),
|
|
CAST-256, ARCFOUR and WAKE. Block algorithms can be used in: CBC,
|
|
ECB, CFB and OFB (8 bit and n bit, where n is the size of the
|
|
algorithm's block length).
