Python binding to the HACL* library

Cython bindings for HACL* the High Assurance Cryptographic Library.

Disclaimer

There is this recurring blog post Cryptographic Right Answsers that gets published every once in a while by various security experts and security firms. Out of the many recommendations is the general advice that people should stick with major libraries: NaCL, OpenSSL, or whatever is available in the standard library of each programming langage.

Altough HACL* itself is becoming a major library, this binding is not. Following the above expert recommendations, you should not use pyhacl. At least not until it has been formally reviewed.

Please instead use PyCA’s PyNaCl or cryptography which are the official python bindings for NaCL and OpenSSL respectively.

Contributions welcome

We limited this binding to the portable C functions of HACL*, please get in touch with us by email or via codeberg if you need anything that’s available in HACL* but that’s missing from pyhacl.
