Expand description
crypto contains some basic cryptographic primitives, built largely on top of NaCl, which are generally useful for any program which performs crypto ops.
Modules
digest defines an API for computing cryptographically secure digests of data.
key defines structures which represent cryptographic keys, and provides some generic code to
implement basic operations like encryption and decryption.
keystore defines a structure for persisting a “master key” on disk, via key wrapping.
secret defines a structure for “safely” storing “secret” data in memory. Think things like keys,
plaintext, etc.
util provides some trivial crypto-related utility functions.
wrap defines utilities for “wrapping” a key with another key. This is useful, for instance, to
have a single “master key”, which is then encrypted with potentially many other keys. Then, any
of the other keys can be used to “unwrap” the “real” master key.
