crypto-sodium: Easy-and-safe-to-use high-level cryptography based on Sodium

This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.

[maintain] [Publish]

This is a collection of high-level cryptographic primitives based on Sodium, spiced up with extra type-safety of the Haskell type system.

Note: this package is experimental and WIP.

Why

Cryptography is hard to do right and you should never try to implement it on your own, even if you have access to safe and secure cryptographic primitives. Luckily, D. J. Bernstein created NaCl.

NaCl was designed specifically to make it hard to use it incorrectly and thus save you from a disaster. It exposes high-level cryptographic algorithms with underlying implementations chosen for you, so you do not get flexibility, but you get security, which is more important.

What

Sodium is a reimplementation of NaCl with the goal to make it more portable across different platforms. With time, it started providing more than the same interface as NaCl. Nowadays it implements additional primitives and utility functions.

How

Library initialisation

Crypto.Init

Secret-key cryptography

Authenticated symmetric-key encryption: Crypto.Encrypt.Symmetric
Message authentication codes: Crypto.Mac

Public-key cryptography

Authenticated public-key encryption: Crypto.Encrypt.Public
Public-key signatures: Crypto.Sign

Additional primitives

Key derivation and generation: Crypto.Key
Cryptographically-secure random: Crypto.Random
