1.2 Getting Started

This manual describes the application programming interface of LibTMCG. All relevant data types, public classes and security parameters are explained. The reader should have an advanced knowledge in applied cryptography and C++ programming. Reference is made at this point to the famous Handbook of Applied Cryptography for a brief introduction.

This document follows, in style and rarely in phrasing, the Reference Manual of the GNU Crypto Library. Thus don't be surprised, if you recognize some obvious analogies.
