LuaCrypto: A Lua frontend to OpenSSL

LuaCrypto
A Lua frontend to OpenSSL

## Overview

LuaCrypto provides a Lua frontend to the OpenSSL cryptographic library. The OpenSSL features that are currently exposed are digests (MD5, SHA-1, HMAC, and more) and crypto-grade random number generators.

LuaCrypto is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.0. It is currently a stand-alone component with the goal of eventually becoming part of the Kepler Project.

## Status

Current version is 0.2.0. It was developed for Lua 5.1 but it is compatible with Lua 5.0 through the use of Compat-5.1.

## Download

LuaCrypto can be downloaded from its Lua Forge page.

## Dependencies

- OpenSSL (0.9.7 or higher)
- Lua 5.1 (or Lua 5.0 plus Compat-5.1 Release 5)
