Crypto Manager: an object oriented software library for cryptographic mechanisms.
Thilo Baldin, Gerrit Bleumer · 1996
An object oriented approach to implementing non-interactive cryptographic mechanisms is presented. The primary design goals are object reuse, minimal code redundancy, easy update and extension by new algorithms and an intuitive application programming interface. The object orientation proved to cause a run time overhead of no more than 4%. Keywords Cryptographic library, application programming interface, object oriented programming 1
