# 16.6: Using Other Functions in Libwally
> **NOTE:** This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for learning.

Libwally is an extensive library that provides a considerable amount of wallet-related functionality, much of it not available through `bitcoin-cli`. Following is an overview of some functionality not previously covered in this chapter.
## Using Cryptographic Functions

[BIP38](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0038.mediawiki) allows for the creation of password-protected private key. We do not teach it because we consider inserting this sort of human factor into key management dangerous. See [#SmartCustody](https://www.smartcustody.com/index.html).
