High-level cryptography for Haskell (haskell-crypto)

Easy-and-safe-to-use high-level cryptographic primitives.

Note: this package is experimental and WIP.

Cryptography is hard to do right, even if you have access to low-level cryptographic primitives – you still need to pick the right ones and then combine them in a safe way.

Luckily, there already exists a high-level library that does this for you: Sodium (based on Nacl). This repository contains two Haskell packages:

  • crypto-sodium – high-level cryptography based on Sodium, spiced up with extra type-safety of the Haskell type system.
  • NaCl – similar high-level bindings, but only providing the subset of Sodium functions that was present in the original NaCl library.

Why not?
