libpgfe (IPA: /ˌlɪbˈpɪɡfiː/, respelling: "lib-PIG-fee") is a free and open-source cryptographic library focusing on flexibility and easy-to-access interfaces, which is written in C and C++.
libpgfe currently supports hash encoding (e.g. SHA256, MD5), HMAC encoding, HOTP/TOTP, Base 16/32/64 and Blowfish.
libpgfe is currently under heavy development, more features and optimization will be added in the future.

The implementation philosophy of libpgfe assumes that the systems running this library are Little Endian, since it is widely used by architectures and OS. Therefore, this library should not run properly on Big Endian systems.
It is suggested to use latest LLVM or GCC to compile this project. Using MSVC is not tested and will probably cause compilation failure.
| Compiler | Suggested version |
|---|---|
| LLVM Clang | 11.0+ |
| GCC | 9.0+ |
CMake is needed to compile the project.
