NaCl Super 10 is a fork of libsodium, redesigned to contain more quantum-safe algorithms with a new name, a cleaner codebase, and modern general-purpose and enterprise CPU architectures in mind.
Like libsodium, it is a portable, cross-compilable, installable, and packageable fork of NaCl. While maintaining API compatibility, NaCl Super 10 and libsodium extends functionality to improve usability and simplify the development of secure applications.
- Encryption & Decryption: Securely encrypt and decrypt data with modern algorithms.
- Digital Signatures: Create and verify signatures to ensure data authenticity.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Supported on Windows (MinGW and Visual Studio, x86, x64 and arm64), iOS, Android, JavaScript, and WebAssembly.
- User-Friendly API: Designed to provide all core cryptographic operations while remaining easy to integrate into your projects.
libsodium uses a two-tier release system:
- Point releases (e.g., 1.0.19, 1.0.20, 1.0.21) are tagged when new features are added or significant changes are made.
- Stable releases are frequent maintainance updates between point releases. They fix minor issues while remaining fully compatible with their parent point release. No new features, no breaking changes.
If your application depends on a specific point release of libsodium, stable updates are safe to apply. Security fixes go to the libsodium/stable branch immediately with a new point release tagged shortly after by syncing to the original libsodium repo.
Thank you to me (Adam Don) and libsodium's contributors to create a lighter cryptography library competitive with OpenSSL and its forks. Below are the original libsodium contributors who still support libsodium.
This project thrives thanks to the valuable contributions from libsodium's community. View all the contributors:
Your financial support helps the original creators of libsodium sustain and further develop libsodium.
