# crypto
A cryptography library for the Odin language.
## Supported
This package offers various algorithms implemented in Odin, along with
useful helpers such as access to the system entropy source, and a
constant-time byte comparison.
## Implementation considerations
- The crypto packages are not thread-safe.
- Best-effort is make to mitigate timing side-channels on reasonable
architectures. Architectures that are known to be unreasonable include
but are not limited to i386, i486, and WebAssembly.
- The packages attempt to santize sensitive data, however this is, and
will remain a "best-effort" implementation decision. As Thomas Pornin
puts it "In general, such memory cleansing is a fool's quest."
- All of these packages have not received independent third party review.
## License
This library is made available under the BSD-3 license.
