Authors of GNU Nettle

The oldest code in Nettle was copied into precursors of the Nettle
library from other public domain or LGPLv2 sources.

Steve Reid		Original CAST128 implementation
Dana L. How		Original DES implementation,
Colin Plumb		Original MD5 implementation
Peter Gutmann		Original SHA1 implementation
Andrew Kuchling		Original MD2 implementation

Free Software Foundation
			Holds copyrights on code ported from
			libgcrypt, written by Werner Koch and others.

J.H.M. Dassen		Original port of blowfish to GNU lsh, later
			split off into Nettle. (This blowfish
			implementation was replaced later).
			Twofish tests.

Ruud de Rooij		Twofish implementation for GNU lsh, later split off into Nettle.

Rafael Sevilla		AES C and x86 implementation, original port of
			Serpent, for GNU lsh, later split off into Nettle.
