Detailed Description

Functions used to set and get which crypto operations are used

LibJWT supports several crypto libaries, mainly "openssl" and "gnutls. By default, if enabled, "openssl" is used.

NOTE: Changing the crypto operations is not thread safe. You must protect changing them with some sort of lock, including locking around usage of the operations themselves.

ENVIRONMENT: You can set JWT_CRYPTO to the default operations you wish to use. If JWT_CRYPTO is invalid, an error message will be printed to the console when LibJWT is loaded by the application.
