Tink
A multi-language, cross-platform cryptographic library designed to be secure, easy to use correctly, and hard to misuse.
What is Tink?
Tink is an open-source cryptographic library developed by Google that provides secure, easy-to-use APIs for cryptographic operations. It solves the problem of cryptographic misuse by offering well-designed APIs that are hard to misuse, reducing common security pitfalls. The library is production-ready across multiple programming languages and platforms.
Developers and engineering teams who need to implement cryptographic functionality in their applications but want to avoid common security mistakes. Particularly valuable for product teams at companies handling sensitive data.
Developers choose Tink because it's built by Google's cryptographers with extensive real-world experience, provides consistent APIs across multiple languages, and significantly reduces the risk of cryptographic implementation errors through careful design.
