40ae771770SStanislav SedovReturn values are diffrent in this module to be compatible with OpenSSL interface. The diffrence is that on success 1 is returned instead of the customary 0.<h3><a class="anchor" name="History">
41ae771770SStanislav SedovHistory</a></h3>
42ae771770SStanislav SedovEric Young implemented DES in the library libdes, that grew into libcrypto in the ssleay package. ssleay went into recession and then got picked up by the OpenSSL (htp://www.openssl.org/) project.<p>
43ae771770SStanislav Sedovlibhcrypto is an independent implementation with no code decended from ssleay/openssl. Both includes some common imported code, for example the AES implementation. </div>
