 = Crypto-API =
+A generic interface for cryptographic operations, platform independent quality RNG, property tests and known-answer tests (KATs) for common algorithms, and a basic benchmark infrastructure.

+= Testing =
+Using crypto-api for testing is absurdly simple and particularly useful if you are implementing one of the algorithms for which NIST CAVP provides known answer tests (KATs).  For example:
+
+{{{
+    import Test.SHA
+    import Test.HMAC
+    import Test.Crypto
+    import Data.CryptoHash.SHA512
+    import Data.CryptoHash.SHA384
+
+    main = do
+        t1 <- makeSHA512Tests (undefined :: SHA512)
+        t2 <- makeSHA384Tests (undefined :: SHA384)        
+        runTests (concat [t1,t2])
+
+        h1 <- makeSHA512HMACTests (undefined :: SHA512)
+        h2 <- makeSHA384HMACTests (undefined :: SHA384)
+        runTests $ concat [h1,h2]
+}}}
+
+And the run:
+
+{{{
+    [tommd@Mavlo Test]$ ghc --make sha.hs
+    [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( sha.hs, sha.o )
+    Linking sha ...
+    [tommd@Mavlo Test]$ ./sha | grep True | wc -l
+    844       
+    [tommd@Mavlo Test]$ ./sha | grep False | wc -l
+    0  
+}}}
