Branch: pkgsrc-2022Q3, Version: 0.4nb3, Package name: seccure-0.4nb3, Maintainer: agc

The seccure toolset implements a selection of asymmetric algorithms
based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). In particular it offers
public key encryption / decryption, signature generation /
verification and key establishment.

ECC schemes offer a much better key size to security ratio than
classical systems (RSA, DSA). Keys are short enough to make direct
specification of keys on the command line possible (sometimes this is
more convenient than the management of PGP-like key rings). seccure
builds on this feature and therefore is the tool of choice whenever
lightweight asymmetric cryptography -- independent of key servers,
revocation certificates, the Web of Trust or even configuration files
-- is required.
