microsoft / SymCrypt
The library was started in late 2006 with the first sources committed in Feb 2007. Initially the goal was limited to implement symmetric cryptographic operations, hence the name. Starting with Windows 8, it has been the primary crypto library for symmetric algorithms.
In 2015 we started the work of adding asymmetric algorithms to SymCrypt. Since the 1703 release of Windows 10, SymCrypt has been the primary crypto library for all algorithms in Windows.
SymCrypt can be compiled with CMake >= 3.13.0 and Visual Studio 2019 (with Windows 10 SDK version 18362) on Windows or gcc 7.4.0 or clang 10.0.0 on Linux. Note that CMake ships with Visual Studio 2019.
Python3 is also required for translation of SymCryptAsm, and for building the SymCrypt module with integrity check. The integrity check additionally requires pip and pyelftools: pip3 install -r ./scripts/requirements.txt
If compilation succeeds, the output will be put in the exe subdirectory relative to where compilation occurred (i.e. bin/exe if you followed the instructions above).
