libsodium

Sodium is an easy-to-use software library that provides a wide range of cryptographic operations including encryption, decryption, digital signatures, and secure password hashing.

It is a portable, cross-compilable, installable, and packageable fork of NaCl. While maintaining API compatibility, libsodium extends functionality to improve usability and simplify the development of secure applications.

Key Features

  • Encryption & Decryption: Securely encrypt and decrypt data with modern algorithms.
  • Digital Signatures: Create and verify signatures to ensure data authenticity.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Supported on Windows (MinGW and Visual Studio, x86, x64 and arm64), iOS, Android, JavaScript, and WebAssembly.
  • User-Friendly API: Designed to provide all core cryptographic operations while remaining easy to integrate into your projects.

Documentation

Versioning

libsodium uses a two-tier release system:

  • Point releases (e.g., 1.0.19, 1.0.20, 1.0.21) are tagged when new features are added or significant changes are made.
  • Stable releases are frequent maintainance updates between point releases. They fix minor issues while remaining fully compatible with their parent point release. No new features, no breaking changes.

If your application depends on a specific point release, stable updates are safe to apply. Security fixes go to the stable branch immediately, with a new point release tagged shortly after.
