This project is a comprehensive cryptographic toolkit that provides a collection of standard security algorithms and protocols for implementing data encryption and network communication. It serves as a foundational library for securing software applications through a wide range of cryptographic functions.
The architecture is defined by a modular provider system that allows for the dynamic loading of external cryptographic implementations without requiring modifications to the core application binary. It supports metadata-driven algorithm querying, which resolves security primitives by matching requested properties against available provider capabilities. Furthermore, the library enables the creation of isolated security contexts, allowing different application components to maintain independent configuration states and security parameters within the same process.
The toolkit includes support for FIPS-validated module encapsulation, which restricts cryptographic operations to a hardened boundary to meet strict government and industry compliance standards. It also utilizes a dispatch-table abstraction to decouple high-level security requests from underlying algorithm logic. Comprehensive technical documentation is available to assist with security operations, migration, and compliance validation.
