CycloneCRYPTO is a cryptographic toolkit designed for use in embedded systems. It provides a comprehensive set of cryptographic primitives (hash functions, stream and block ciphers, public key cryptography) that can be used to add security features to your embedded application. CycloneCRYPTO is available either as open source (GPLv2, Evaluation) or under a royalty-free commercial license
