Description: CrypTool is an e-learning software used for illustrating cryptographic and cryptanalytic concepts. This technology implements over 400 algorithms that can be customized to perform cryptographic research. CrypTool includes a graphical interface, online documentation, and analytic methods and algorithms to assist in the teaching of cryptology and cryptanalytics. This technology contains classical cyphers and modern cryptography, such as Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), Elliptic-curve Cryptography (ECC), digital signatures, hybrid encryption, and homomorphic encryption.

This technology does not utilize a database to store data, as any information generated by this technology is saved to the user`s local drive.

Note: This entry covers CrypTool 1 and CrypTool 2. This entry does not cover other technologies by The CrypTool Project such as JCryptTool and CrypTool Online.
Technology/Standard Usage Requirements: Users must ensure their use of this technology/standard is consistent with VA policies and standards, including, but not limited to, VA Handbooks 6102 and 6500; VA Directives 6004, 6513, and 6517; and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Users must ensure sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. Prior to use of this technology, users should check with their supervisor, Information System Security Officer (ISSO), Facility Chief Information Officer (CIO), or local Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) representative to ensure that all actions are consistent with current VA policies and procedures prior to implementation.
