Slug20 Library

Description

slug20 is a tool used to encrypt data inspired by minisign. It is simple, minimilastic, and has advanced security built-in. It implements zeroize, subtle, and subtle-encoding for maxmimum security.

On top of encryption, it creates a new standard for Modern Certificates using YAML. Its format (X59CERT) is lightweight and can easily be serialized.

It extends to include development of modern, decentralized PKI systems and modular formats for use with different systems.
