Tink
Tink is a multi-language cryptography library and security toolkit providing secure APIs for data encryption and digital signatures. It functions as a data encryption library and digital signature framework designed to prevent common implementation errors across different platforms and operating systems.
The project serves as a cryptographic keyset manager, utilizing JSON for the storage, rotation, and serialization of keys to maintain consistency across various programming languages. It ensures identical cryptographic behavior globally by mapping language-specific libraries to a unified set of primitives.
The toolkit covers application data protection and secure key lifecycle management. Its capabilities include encrypting private data, generating and verifying digital signatures for data authenticity, and managing the rotation of versioned keysets.
