What is crunchy crypt?
“CrunchyCrypt is an open-source collection of cryptography APIs, safe and easy-to-use wrappings of lower-level crypto libraries such as boringssl [and] is designed to be extendable to both bleeding-edge and legacy cryptography.”
libtom. LibTomCrypt is a fairly comprehensive, modular and portable cryptographic toolkit that provides developers with a vast array of well known published block ciphers, one-way hash functions, chaining modes, pseudo-random number generators, public key cryptography and a plethora of other routines.
The OpenSSL crypto library implements a wide range of cryptographic algorithms used in various Internet standards. The services provided by this library are used by the OpenSSL implementations of SSL, TLS and S/MIME, and they have also been used to implement SSH, OpenPGP, and other cryptographic standards.
Cryptography is not security. It is a tool that may be used in some cases to achieve security goals. This library is not a turn-key solution to security. It is a library of low-level cryptographic operations—or, in other words, just enough rope for the unwary to hang themselves.
LibTomMath is a free open source portable number theoretic multiple-precision integer library written entirely in C. (phew!). The library is designed to provide a simple to work with API that provides fairly efficient routines that build out of the box without configuration.
Hyperledger Ursa is a shared cryptographic library, it enables implementations to avoid duplicating other cryptographic work and hopefully increase security in the process. The library is an opt-in repository (for Hyperledger and non Hyperledger projects) to place and use crypto.
A hard fork (or hardfork), as it relates to blockchain technology, is a radical change to a network's protocol that makes previously invalid blocks and transactions valid, or vice-versa. A hard fork requires all nodes or users to upgrade to the latest version of the protocol software.

Blockchains make use of two types of cryptographic algorithms, asymmetric-key algorithms, and hash functions. Hash functions are used to provide the functionality of a single view of blockchain to every participant. Blockchains generally use the SHA-256 hashing algorithm as their hash function.

What is crypto analysis?
Cryptanalysis is the process of studying cryptographic systems to look for weaknesses or leaks of information.
