Yet Another Crypto Library
Basically this is my wrapper around a much better library (libsodium) with some functions that libsodium doesn't include. In general, the libsodium routines are used with the exception of the algorithms not in NaCl.
These algorithms are:
- ECDSA/ECDH for P-256
- HMAC 256 using a non-32 byte key (libsodium restricts the key length to 32 bytes).
- HKDF-HMAC-SHA256
Otherwise, probably best to pull the latest release. Otherwise, you'll need autotools to build this from source. It follows the normal autotools dance.
On a full-up-round linux system, I configure yacl like this:
./configure --with-libglib -with-guile --with-libsodium --enable-tests
On a debian-based system, you'd probably have to do:
apt install build-essential libsodium-dev guile-2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev
yacl can be installed in the normal fashion, with sudo make install && sudo ldconfig. I probably should make a .deb out of this to make it
easier...
yacl.h is the public interface--that's the one file you need to
include. yacl uses pkg-config so you might find that the easiest way
to include it in your project.
Look in the test folder for example usage.
I have an odd fascinating with GNU Guile, so if you use the
--with-guile configuration option you can build the Guile
extensions. Under test/guile
