caesium
A modern cryptography library for Clojure providing direct bindings to libsodium/NaCl.
What is caesium?
caesium is a cryptography library for Clojure that provides direct bindings to libsodium, a modern and secure cryptographic library. It enables Clojure developers to perform encryption, decryption, password hashing, and other cryptographic operations with the same security guarantees as libsodium. The library focuses on exposing libsodium's APIs faithfully while allowing fine-grained control over memory and security.
Clojure developers who need secure cryptographic operations in their applications, particularly those who require low-level control and compatibility with libsodium's APIs.
Developers choose caesium for its direct, zero-copy bindings to libsodium, secure memory handling, and high-quality implementation by a cryptographer. It avoids abstraction layers that could introduce vulnerabilities while providing predictable, well-tested APIs.
