Detailed Description

Namespace containing weak and wounded algorithms.

Weak is part of the CryptoPP namespace. Schemes and algorithms are moved into Weak when their security level is reduced to an unacceptable level by contemporary standards.

To use an algorithm in the Weak namespace, you must #define CRYPTOPP_ENABLE_NAMESPACE_WEAK 1 before including a header for a weak or wounded algorithm. For example:

  #define CRYPTOPP_ENABLE_NAMESPACE_WEAK 1
  #include <md5.h>
  ...
  CryptoPP::Weak::MD5 md5;
