Available Packages
Name : monocypher
Version : 3.1.2
Release : 2.el8
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 45 k
Source : monocypher-3.1.2-2.el8.src.rpm
Repository : epel
Summary : Boring crypto that simply works
URL : https://monocypher.org/
License : BSD or CC0
Description : Monocypher is an easy to use cryptographic library. It provides functions for
: authenticated encryption, hashing, password hashing and key derivation, key
: exchange, and public key signatures. It is:
:
: - Small. Monocypher contains under 2000 lines of code, small enough to allow
: audits. The binaries can be under 50KB, small enough for many embedded targets.
: - Easy to deploy. Just add monocypher.c and monocypher.h to your project. They
: compile as C99 or C++ and are dedicated to the public domain (CC0-1.0,
: alternatively 2-clause BSD).
: - Portable. There are no dependencies, not even on libc.
: - Honest. The API is small, consistent, and cannot fail on correct input.
: - Direct. The abstractions are minimal. A developer with experience in applied
: cryptography can be productive in minutes.
: - Fast. The primitives are fast to begin with, and performance wasn't
: needlessly sacrificed. Monocypher holds up pretty well against Libsodium,
: despite being closer in size to TweetNaCl.
