| 9 | 1 | Martin Willi | libstrongswan itself also supports plugins to provide modular cryptographic algorithms, database support or transport protocol implementations. Each plugin implements the [browser:trunk/src/libstrongswan/plugins/plugin.h plugin_t] interface and registers itself at one of the factories: |
| 10 | 1 | Martin Willi | ||[browser:trunk/src/libstrongswan/credentials/credential_factory.h credentials]||Credential implementations, e.g. certificates or keys.|| |
| 11 | 1 | Martin Willi | ||[browser:trunk/src/libstrongswan/crypto/crypto_factory.h crypto]||Crypto implementations, e.g. encryption algorithms or hashers.|| |
| 12 | 1 | Martin Willi | ||[browser:trunk/src/libstrongswan/database/database_factory.h database]||Database wrappers to access different databases transparently.|| |
| 13 | 1 | Martin Willi | ||[browser:trunk/src/libstrongswan/fetcher/fetcher_manager.h fetcher]||Transport helpers to fetch files, e.g. via HTTP/FTP.|| |
