The Crypt library is a pure-ruby implementation of a number of popular encryption algorithms. Block cyphers currently include Blowfish, GOST, IDEA, Rijndael (AES), and RC6. Cypher Block Chaining (CBC) has been implemented.
Crypt is written entirely in ruby so deployment is simple - no platform concerns, no library dependencies, nothing to compile.
This version is tested on MRI Ruby 1.8.6, 1.8.7, 1.9.1, 1.9.2-preview1, and JRuby 1.4.0.
TODO See http://crypt.rubyforge.org/ for now.

The Blowfish code was adapted from Bruce Schneier's reference C code.
The GOST code was adapted from Wei Dai's C++ code from the Crypto++ project.
The IDEA code was based on the reference C implementation once published by MediaCrypt.
The Rijndael code was adapted from the reference ANSI C code by Paulo Barreto and Vincent Rijmen.
