IBM® Crypto for C
IBM® Corporation - FIPS 140 #2420
The IBM Crypto for C v8.4.0.0 (ICC) cryptographic module is implemented in the C programming language. It is packaged as dynamic (shared) libraries usable by applications written in a language that supports C language linking conventions (e.g. C, C++, Java, Assembler, etc.) for use on commercially available operating systems. The ICC allows these applications to access cryptographic functions using an Application Programming Interface (API) provided through an ICC import library and based on the API defined by the OpenSSL group.
