CryptoSwift is a cryptography library implemented entirely in the Swift programming language. It provides a collection of standard cryptographic algorithms for encryption, decryption, and hashing without relying on native C libraries or system frameworks. The library supports symmetric and asymmetric encryption, including RSA key generation and signature management. It features authenticated encryption schemes and the ability to generate cryptographic digests for data integrity verification. The toolset covers message authentication codes, secure key derivation from passwords, and data paddi

GmSSL is an open-source cryptographic library that implements the Chinese national cryptographic standards SM2, SM3, SM4, SM9, and ZUC as a unified algorithm suite. It provides a comprehensive set of cryptographic primitives including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, digital signatures, hashing, and key exchange, all built around these national standards for government and enterprise security applications. The library distinguishes itself through several integration capabilities. It includes an OpenSSL compatibility layer that maps GmSSL functions to OpenSSL API calls, enabling drop-in re

SQLCipher is an encrypted SQLite database engine and secure relational database that provides transparent AES-256 encryption for database files and stored data. It functions as a cryptographic storage engine that requires a passphrase or binary key to unlock and access content. The engine ensures data confidentiality through page-level encryption and protects data integrity using cryptographic hashes to detect unauthorized modifications. It includes capabilities for encryption key rotation to update passphrases and secure memory locking to prevent sensitive keys from being swapped from RAM to

Libsodium is a portable, C-based cryptographic library that provides a collection of modern primitives for encryption, decryption, digital signatures, password hashing, and secure key exchange. It is designed to facilitate secure communication and data integrity across diverse hardware architectures and operating systems. The library distinguishes itself by utilizing constant-time primitive execution to prevent side-channel attacks and employing memory-hard algorithms to increase the difficulty of brute-force password attacks. It abstracts complex mathematical operations into simplified inter
