The first intention of this
There are several [Namespaces](namespaces.html) which correspond
to the [Modules](modules.html) that are implemented. All libraries
libraries deal with hardware token cryptography. Some libraries
are just clean C++-wrappers around the original libraries that are
implemented in ugliest C manner. The warppers care about memory-
and resource-management and implement a simple and easy C++
interface, including std::string for binary data and exceptions
for error handling.
For special documentations, such as global overviews and
tutorials, please refere to [Pages](pages.html).
