  Description     : The seccure toolset implements a selection of asymmetric algorithms based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC)

<quote>
The seccure toolset implements a selection of asymmetric algorithms
based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). In particular, it offers
public key encryption / decryption and signature generation /
verification. ECC schemes offer a much better key size to security
ratio than classical systems (RSA, DSA). Keys are short enough to make
direct specification of keys on the command line possible (sometimes
this is more convenient than the management of PGP-like key
rings). seccure builds on this feature and therefore is the tool of
choice whenever lightweight asymmetric cryptography -- independent of
key servers, revocation certificates, the Web of Trust, or even
configuration files -- is required.
