Trfcrypt is a software extension package for the Tcl-extention trf. It adds encryption and decryption capabilities to the Tcl programming language.
While it is technically possible to implement ciphers using only the trf C API, trfcrypt's codebase streamlines the process considerably. The package includes several helpful tools for handling blockcipher modes and other essential operations, which eliminates the need to repeatedly reimplement such functionality. To add a new cipher to the system, users need to provide some essential information, such as key sizes, and functions that generate the internal keyschedule from the specified key, encrypt/decrypt a character or a block of data.
In summary, trfcrypt is an outstanding software package that significantly eases the implementation and management of encryption protocols. Its C API integration and proprietary tools make it an essential add-on for developers who require a fast, streamlined, and secure approach to encryption.
