* It includes a various cryptographic algorithms, formats, and protocols such as SSL and TLS. * It provides useful tools such TLS, X.509 certificates, ECDSA, AES, GCM, ChaCha20Poly1305, and bcrypt. * Include variety crypto algorithms of different uses. * The library can also be built into a single-file amalgamation for easy inclusion into external build systems. * In addition to C++, botan has a C89 API specifically designed to be easy to call from other languages. A Python binding using ctypes is included.

* It allows developers to use a wide range of encryption functions, without making drastic changes to their code. * It allows users to encrypt files or data streams without having to be cryptographers. * It allows you to have some really neat code on your machine. * The companion to MCrypt is Libmcrypt, which contains the actual encryption functions themselves, and provides a standardized mechanism for accessing them.
