Algorithms and Code
- AES - Advanced Encryption Standard
- The government's successor to the broken DES based on the Finnish Rijndael algorithm.
- Cryptix
- "An international volunteer effort to produce robust, open-source cryptographic software libraries."
- Cryptix maintains an excellent resources page.
- Cryptopp.com
- home of crypto++, a public domain crypto library
- cryptopp links to algorithms, products and libraries
- Netscape Security Services (NSS)
- NSS for Java (JSS)
- OpenSSL.org
- based on the excellent SSLeay library developed by Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson
- PureTLS
- a free Java-only implementation of the SSLv3 and TLSv1 (RFC2246) protocols
- PGP - Pretty Good Privacy
- The International PGP Home Page (EFF)
- PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a program that gives your electronic mail something that it otherwise doesn't have: Privacy. PGP can also be used to apply a digital signature to a message without encrypting it. Find out more, and use this valuable tool for democracy!
- GPG - The GNU Privacy Guard
- GPG is the Free Software (GNU) version of PGP
- See also: the xPrivacy Guard
- PGP/GPGKey Servers
- List of Public Key Servers (from PGPi)
- The WWW Based PGP 5.0 Key Server System
- University of Paderborn

- PGPfone - turns your desktop or notebook computer into a secure telephone
- A Simple Distributed Security Infrastructure (SDSI)
- SPKI/SDSI Certificates
- Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) by Intel
- CDSA sourceforge code repository
- Pisces
- a Python implementation of the SPKI Certificate standard
- XML Security Suite for Java (IBM)
- This is essentially an implementation of public standards. Please email alphawks@us.ibm.com and ask them to release this excellent enabling technology - otherwise, we (or someone else) will simple have to recreate it.

Protocols
- Fling
- a new suite of internet protocols that perform the function of DNS, TCP, and UDP in a manner that's both untraceable and untappable.
- IP Security Protocol (ipsec)
- designed to flexibly support combinations of authentication, integrity, access control, and confidentiality
- Linux FreeS/WAN
- The idea is to deploy PC-based boxes that will sit between your local area network and the Internet (near your firewall or router) which opportunistically encrypt your Internet packets
