Cryptography

VA Smalltalk provides a rich set of cryptographic primitives useful for securing many forms of digital communications.
These are the same primitives brought together to implement protocols such as SSL/TLS.

This chapter describes VA Smalltalk's cryptographic support in the following manner:

•	Provide an introduction to cryptography in VA Smalltalk

•	How to use the cryptographic feature in a running image.

•	High-Level Architectural Overview

•	Low-Level Module Overview with relevant APIs and Examples
