 # libmcrypt
 
+Mcrypt, and the accompanying libmcrypt, are intended to be replacements for the old Unix crypt, except that they are under the GPL and support an ever-wider range of algorithms and modes.
+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.
+It's 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
+* 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).
