Example source code demonstrating practical cryptography implementations in Go, accompanying the 'Practical Crypto with Go' book.
GoCrypto is a collection of example source code that demonstrates practical cryptographic implementations in the Go programming language. It serves as companion material for the book *Practical Crypto with Go*, providing working examples of symmetric security, key exchange, and digital signatures. The project helps developers learn how to apply cryptographic concepts in real Go applications.
Go developers and students learning about cryptography who want practical, runnable examples to complement theoretical knowledge from the accompanying book.
Developers choose GoCrypto because it provides vetted, practical code examples directly tied to educational content, making it easier to understand and implement cryptographic concepts in Go compared to reading specifications or theoretical documentation alone.
Example source code for the Practical Crypto with Go book.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Directly complements the book 'Practical Crypto with Go', with runnable code organized by chapters (e.g., symmetric security, key exchange) that bridges theory and practice.
Provides working implementations like symmetric encryption demos and digital signatures in Go, helping developers apply cryptographic concepts in real code rather than just theory.
Code is segmented by book chapters, allowing learners to follow along systematically with the educational content, as noted in the README's chapter listings.
The book is freely available online via a Leanpub link in the README, making it easy to access the full educational context alongside the examples.
Only covers topics included in the accompanying book, which may lack comprehensive cryptographic algorithms or updates, limiting its use for broader learning.
The code is designed for educational purposes and lacks robust error handling, optimization, and security audits required for safe deployment in real applications.
Full understanding and utility depend on reading the book, which might be a barrier if users prefer standalone code or if the book becomes outdated.
