Cryptographic C++ Libraries:
LiDIA already installed on cse, click here for how to use LiDIA
Crypto++™ Library 4.2
You need to download and recompile the library (you may need to add #include <vector> in one file) This library is good for use in windows VC so it is easier for your testing and debuging your programs.
if you are familiar with Java, you can use java BigInteger
