qca-qt5: qca-qt5 (Qt Cryptographic Architecture for Qt5) qca-qt5: qca-qt5: QCA aims to provide a straightforward and cross-platform crypto API, qca-qt5: using Qt datatypes and conventions. QCA separates the API from the qca-qt5: implementation, using plugins known as Providers. The advantage of qca-qt5: this model is to allow applications to avoid linking to or explicitly qca-qt5: depending on any particular cryptographic library. This allows one qca-qt5: to easily change or upgrade crypto implementations without needing qca-qt5: to recompile the application. qca-qt5: qca-qt5: QCA was written by Justin Karneges.
