The Legion, and the latest goings on with this package, can be found at [http://www.bouncycastle.org](http://www.bouncycastle.org). In additiion to providing basic cryptography algorithms, the package also provides support for CMS, TSP, X.509 certificate generation and a variety of other standards such as OpenPGP. + +The Legion also gratefully acknowledges the contributions made to this package by others (see [here](http://www.bouncycastle.org/csharp/contributors.html) for the current list). If you would like to contribute to our efforts please feel free to get in touch with us or visit our [donations page](https://www.bouncycastle.org/donate), sponsor some specific work, or purchase a support contract through [Crypto Workshop](http://www.cryptoworkshop.com). + +Except where otherwise stated, this software is distributed under a license based on the MIT X Consortium license.
