NaCl: Networking and Cryptography library (pronounced "salt")
This directory contains a freely distributable thread-safe extension to Tcl/Tk called nacl.
SYSNOPSIS
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.
Of course, other libraries already exist for these core operations. NaCl advances
the state of the art by improving security, by improving usability, and by
improving speed.
For information on how to use these commands, see the examples, hints and the home
pages at https://tcl.sowaswie.de/repos/fossil/nacl.
GETTING THE CODE
The development repository is hosted at https://tcl.sowaswie.de/repos/fossil/nacl
You are encouraged to use trunk.
COMPILING nacl
Go to the main directory and invoke the configure script:
./configure
make
make test
make install
Since nacl is TEA-compatible you should be able to build it using the MinGW build
environment for Windows. There is also the MSVC nmake file so you can compile the
package with Microsoft tools. Refer to the README in the win directory for more
details about building on Windows.
The compile process will build the nacl shared library suitable for loading into
the Tcl shell using standard "package require" mechanism.

HISTORY
The core NaCl development team consists of Daniel J. Bernstein (University of
Illinois at Chicago and Technische Universiteit Eindhoven), Tanja Lange (Technische
Universiteit Eindhoven), and Peter Schwabe (Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen).
The nacl tcl packge was started by Alexander Schoepe (alx.tcl@sowaswie.de).
