Botan Crypto Library
Botan is a very complete crypto powerhouse packaged in a D library.
It is a translation of the C++ library Botan, although the code is now in D and uses the memutils library as a replacement for the C++ STL.
Current Version: v1.11.10, commit ref# 3e55885d20c1a579df13be3470491e5c378a2688
A TLS client/server with ALPN, SNI and HTTP/2 has been added to the http2-botan vibe.d branch on my fork.
Getting Started
Botan has been tested on Windows x86, Windows x64, OSX x64, Linux x86, Linux x64 with DMD v2.067, v2.067.1, v2.068.
For development, you should use the Mono-D IDE, as it has been specifically crafted to handle the high amount of symbols.
Compile DMD, druntime and Phobos v2.067 (only available through Git at the moment). You can find information on compiling D in the wiki.
Install dub v0.9.22+
Compile Botan tests using
dub test --arch=x86_64
for x64, ordub test --arch=x86
for x86. On Windows 64 bit, you will need to compile DMD64 using the Microsoft Visual Studio solution (.sln) in the DMD src/ folder. On Windows 32bit (--arch=x86), you will need to use the microsoft linker (mscoff):dub test --config=32mscoff
, and DMD 2.068 (currently git master).

Supported Algorithms
Botan supports a range of cryptographic algorithms and protocols, including:
TLS/Public Key Infrastructure
- SSL/TLS (from SSL v3 to TLS v1.2), including using preshared keys (TLS-PSK) or passwords (TLS-SRP)
- X.509 certificates (including generating new self-signed and CA certs) and CRLs
- Certificate path validation and OCSP
- PKCS #10 certificate requests (creation and certificate issue)
Public Key Cryptography
- Encryption algorithms RSA, ElGamal, DLIES (padding schemes OAEP or PKCS #1 v1.5)
- Signature algorithms RSA, DSA, ECDSA, GOST 34.10-2001, Nyberg-Rueppel, Rabin-Williams (padding schemes PSS, PKCS #1 v1.5, X9.31)
- Key agreement techniques Diffie-Hellman and ECDH
Block ciphers
- Authenticated cipher modes EAX, OCB, GCM, SIV, and CCM
- Unauthenticated cipher modes CTR, CBC, XTS, CFB, OFB, and ECB

Authentication Codes
- HMAC
- CMAC (aka OMAC1)
- Obsolete designs CBC-MAC, ANSI X9.19 DES-MAC, and the protocol-specific SSLv3 authentication code
Other Useful Things
- Key derivation functions for passwords, including PBKDF2
- Password hashing functions, including bcrypt
- General key derivation functions KDF1 and KDF2 from IEEE 1363
- PRFs from ANSI X9.42, SSL v3.0, TLS v1.0
Recommended Algorithms
This section is by no means the last word on selecting which algorithms to use. However, botan includes a sometimes bewildering array of possible algorithms, and unless you're familiar with the latest developments in the field, it can be hard to know what is secure and what is not. The following attributes of the algorithms were evaluated when making this list: security, support by other implementations, patent/IP status, and efficiency (in roughly that order).
If your data is in motion, strongly consider using TLS v1.2 as a pre built, already standard and well studied protocol.
Otherwise, if you simply must do something custom, use:
Message encryption: AES or Serpent in EAX or GCM mode
General hash functions: SHA-256 or SHA-512
Message authentication: HMAC with SHA-256
Public Key Encryption: RSA, 2048+ bit keys, with OAEP and SHA-256 ("EME1(SHA-256)")
Public Key Signatures: RSA, 2048+ bit keys with PSS and SHA-512 ("EMSA4(SHA-512)"), or ECDSA with SHA-256 or SHA-512
Key Agreement: Diffie-Hellman or ECDH, with "KDF2(SHA-256)"
Issues
You can submit any issues in the github issue tracker. Any issue related to algorithms in the D library must also be submitted to the corresponding Botan C++ issue tracker.
