<h1>Nettle - a low-level cryptographic library</h1>

<blockquote>
<p>
  Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in more
  or less any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages
  (C++, Python, Pike, ...), in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in
  kernel space.
</p>
</blockquote>

<h2> Documentation </h2>

<p>
  A complete manual is included if you download the Nettle source code.
  You can also <a href="nettle.html">read the manual online</a>.

<h2> Language bindings </h2>

<p> I'm aware of nettle-bindings for the following higher-level
  languages.</p>
<dl>
  <dt> <a href='http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bindings-nettle'>Haskell</a> </dt>
  <dd> Haskell bindings by Clint Adams. </dd>
  <dt> <a href='http://search.cpan.org/~dkg/Crypt-Nettle-0.3/lib/Crypt/Nettle.pm'>Perl</a></dt>
  <dd> Crypt::Nettle module, by Daniel Kahn Gillmor.</dd>
  <dt> <a href="http://pike.lysator.liu.se">Pike</a></dt>
  <dd> An object-oriented interpreted language with C-like syntax.
    Nettle bindings are included with the official distribution.</dd>
  <dt> <a href='http://www.yellowbank.com/code/PostgreSQL/y_crypto/'>PostgreSQL</a></dt>
  <dd> Bindings for the Postgres database, by Ron Peterson. </dd>
  <dt> <a href='http://marcomaggi.github.com/nausicaa.html'>R6RS
	Scheme</a></dt>
  <dd> Scheme bindings by Marco Maggi, supporting multiple R6RS implementations.</dd>
  <dt> <a href='https://crates.io/crates/nettle'>Rust</a> </dt>
  <dd> Rust bindings by Kai Michaelis. </dd>
  <dt> TCL </dt>
  <dd> Included in the chiark-tcl debian package by Ian Jackson (not
    sure if/how it's distributed outside of debian). </dd>

  Mail me for corrections or additions to this list.

<h2> GIT access </h2>

<p> 
  The public git repository for Nettle is located at <a
  href='http://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle'>git.lysator.liu.se</a>.
  After checkout, you need to run the <tt>.bootstrap</tt> script
  before the standard <tt>./configure &amp;&amp; make</tt>.
</p>
<p>
  Earlier, Nettle was version controlled as part of the LSH
  repository. When converted to the current repository, the history of
  all files has been maintained as far as practical. But since the
  directory organization used to be a bit different, building old
  versions of Nettle from the current git repository does not work out
  of the box. To do that, you have to check out historic versions from
  the <a href='http://git.lysator.liu.se/lsh/lsh'>LSH repository</a>
  instead.
