library for network communications and cryptography
NaCl (pronounced "salt") is a new easy-to-use high-speed software library for network communication, encryption, decryption, signatures, etc. NaCl's goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to build higher-level cryptographic tools. Sodium is a fork of NaCl with a compatible API. Unlike NaCl, Sodium performs checks for hardware features at runtime instead of compile time, making it suitable for packaging.
