19 BtCheck can use various crypto libraries to speedup hash computation.
20 + OpenSSL crypto library [--with-openssl]
21 + mbedTLS/PolarSSL crypto library [--with-polarssl]
22 + GnuTLS library [--with-gnutls]
23 + libgcrypt library [--with-gcrypt]
24 + tomcrypt library [--with-tomcrypt]
25 + Nettle library [--with-nettle]
26 + BeeCrypt library [--with-beecrypt]
27 On Linux systems the Kernel Crypto API [--with-kercrypt] can be used.
28 On Windows systems the CryptoAPI [--with-wincrypt] can be used too.
29 By default BtCheck will use a slow built-in sha1 implementation.
