Introduction

This is a collection of common tools and utilities used throughout the NeuClear framework. They concern them selves mainly with Crypto, but also all the little generalistic bits and pieces that dont quite fit neatly elsewhere. It is not really intended as a library for use outside the NeuClear framework, as such it is currently not well documented.

Much of the crypto code provide some useful abstractions ontop of the often complex JCE architecture from Sun. If there is interest we will probably repackage it in the next version as neuclear-crypto and document it better.
