+ # cryptography #
2
+
3
+ A Ruby library to provide abstractions for common use-cases of
4
+ cryptography.
5
+
6
+ ## Description ##
7
+
8
+ Cryptography is hard. Really hard, and deceptively hard. There are a
9
+ million and one ways for a developer to screw up when implementing
10
+ cryptography, and non-cryptographers are exceedingly unlikely to get
11
+ it right.
12
+
13
+ Unfortunately, there's a common mentality in the developer community
14
+ that getting tiny details wrong doesn't matter, that it's still "good
15
+ enough" to defeat hackers, if not the NSA. This mentality is, frankly,
16
+ stupid and dangerous. Tiny flaws in implementation details almost
17
+ inevitably result in a *complete* breach of security: revealing the
18
+ contents of ciphertexts, allowing manipulation of the contents of
19
+ ciphertexts, forging signed messages, or discovering users'
20
+ passwords. Even weaknesses that seem tolerable can often be trivially
21
+ combined with non-cryptographic security weaknesses to accomplish the
22
+ same goals.
23
+
24
+ Despite this, there are relatively few high-level interfaces to hide
25
+ the details of cryptographic primitives and to automatically use safe
26
+ and secure defaults. This library strongly adopts the mentality that
27
+ [if you're typing the letters A-E-S into your code, you're doing it
28
+ wrong][a-e-s].
