Crypto Libraries for Developers

Cryptographic Libraries for JavaScript, Python, C# and Java

• Cryptography in JavaScript

  • ECDSA, elliptic.js, js-sha3.js

• Cryptography libraries in Python

  • ECDSA, eth_keys

• C# and .NET cryptography

  • Bouncy Castle .NET, Nethereum

• Java cryptography

  • JCA, Bouncy Castle, Web3j

• C and C++ cryptography

  • Crypto++, OpenSSL bindings, Nettle, libgcrypt

TODO:

• OpenSSL - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSL

• LibSodium

• Crypto++

• Lingcrypt - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libgcrypt

• Bouncy Castle

• Nettle - https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle

• Botan - https://botan.randombit.net

• Others...

Summary

• JavaScript and Python provide simple cryptography libraries

  • Hashes, ECC, ECDSA, AES, and many more

• Cryptography is C# is heavy

  • Use Bouncy Castle .NET for general crypto

  • Or Nethereum for simplified secp256k1

• Cryptography in Java is heavy

  • JCA and Bouncy Castle are hard to use

  • Web3j is simplifies library for secp256k1
