sjcl
A deprecated JavaScript library for cryptographic operations including encryption, hashing, and key generation.
What is sjcl?
SJCL (Stanford JavaScript Crypto Library) is a deprecated open-source JavaScript library that provides a suite of cryptographic functions, including encryption, hashing, and key generation. It was designed to enable secure cryptographic operations directly in web browsers and other JavaScript environments, addressing the need for client-side data protection without server dependencies.
JavaScript developers and web application engineers who required client-side cryptographic capabilities, such as for securing user data, implementing authentication, or building privacy-focused tools.
Developers chose SJCL for its comprehensive, self-contained cryptographic toolkit in pure JavaScript, which was once a reliable solution for browser-based security. However, due to deprecation and security vulnerabilities, it is no longer recommended for new projects.
