High-level cryptography for Haskell (haskell-crypto)
Easy-and-safe-to-use high-level cryptographic primitives.
Note: this package is experimental and WIP.
Cryptography is hard to do right, even if you have access to low-level cryptographic primitives – you still need to pick the right ones and then combine them in a safe way.
Luckily, there already exists a high-level library that does this for you: Sodium (based on Nacl). This repository contains two Haskell packages:
- crypto-sodium – high-level cryptography based on Sodium, spiced up with extra type-safety of the Haskell type system.
- NaCl – similar high-level bindings, but only providing the subset of Sodium functions that was present in the original NaCl library.
Why not?
