Cryptol is a domain-specific programming language for cryptography developed by the Portland, Oregon based software development firm, Galois, Inc.[1][2] It is free and open-source software released under a BSD 3-clause software license.

The language was originally developed for use by the United States National Security Agency.[1][3] The language is also used by private firms that provide information technology systems, such as the American company Rockwell Collins provides to aerospace and defense contractors in the United States.[1]

The programming language is used for all aspects of developing and using cryptography, such as the design and implementation of new ciphers and the verification of existing cryptographic algorithms.[1][2][4] Cryptol is designed to allow a cryptographer to watch how stream processing functions in the program manipulate ciphers or encryption algorithms.[2]
