LibTomCrypt is a comprehensive, modular, and portable cryptographic toolkit that provides developers with a vast array of well known published block ciphers, one-way hash functions, chaining modes, pseudo- random number generators, public key cryptography, and a plethora of other routines. It has been designed from the ground up to be very simple to use. It has a modular and standard API that allows new ciphers, hashes, and PRNGs to be added or removed without change to the overall end application. It features easy to use functions and a complete user manual which has many source snippet examples. Updated! 6-17-2003

inverting 3x3 matrix with cofactors:
determinant of

a b c
d e f
g h i
is aei + dhc + bfg - gec - dbi - afh
cofactor matrix is
ei-fh -[di-fg] dh-eg
-[bi-hc] ai-gc -[ah-gb]
bf-ec -[af-dc] ae-db


inverse is 1/det * Adjoint Adjoint = transpose of [cofactors]

e.g.

       1 1 0                        0.5    0.5   -0.5
  A =  1 0 1  det(A) = -2, inv(A)=  0.5   -0.5    0.5
       0 1 1                       -0.5    0.5    0.5
