MySuiteA

Cryptographic Code Library from DannyNiu/NJF

MySuiteA is a suite of C language source code library for cryptographic algorithms. It's written with modularity, self-sufficiency, API uniforminity in mind, and is highly portable.

Features

• API Uniforminity.

Uniform APIs are designed for each type of primitives, allowing their instances to be created at compile, link, and run time. Higher-level algorithms may take lower-level primitives as parameters when instantiating (e.g. GCM mode plus AES blockcipher, RSA algorithm with SHA-256 hash function).

• Layered Implementation.

All objects, functions, and data types are layered according to:

0. Datum (datum, exec)
1. Primitive (rijndael, fips-180, keccak, etc.)
2. Utility (encryption, hash, xof, etc.)
3. Functionality (KEM, signature, etc.)

Each type of concern are encapsulated within a specific layer, allowing modular code reuse at higher layer, supporting modular instantiability.

• Only Algorithms.

All codes constituting the algorithms are written absent any function call to hosted libraries (i.e. no malloc or fwrite, etc.). Any necessary working contexts are allocated by the user/caller before performing any cryptographic computation.

MySuiteA will not, and cannot correctly adapt to all usage scenario, therefore any platform dependent concerns such as thread, async-signal, and async-cancel safety are left out of the suite and are to be handled by the user/caller.

• International.

Apart from US algorithms, a select few important national/regional standards from elsewhere around the globe are included in the suite. At the same time, an inclusion criteria is established to prevent scope creep.
