Description
Applications can use modern cryptographic primitives through a portable library designed to reduce common implementation mistakes.
This compatibility package is useful for programs that specifically need the libsodium.so.23 ABI. It does not encrypt files or messages by itself; another application uses it for features such as authenticated encryption, public-key operations, hashing, random numbers, or password hashing.
Security still depends on the parent application. Key storage, protocol design, backups, and user choices remain important.
