syft-crypto-core

End-to-end encrypted communication and file synchronization for SyftBox using X3DH key agreement.

Overview

This crate provides cryptographic primitives for secure messaging and file synchronization in SyftBox using Ed25519 identity signing, X25519 key agreement, and XChaCha20-Poly1305 for payload encryption.

Status

This software is considered Beta so use at your own risk.
