CIRCL

GitHub release CIRCL GoDoc Go Report Card codecov

CIRCL (Cloudflare Interoperable, Reusable Cryptographic Library) is a collection of cryptographic primitives written in Go. The goal of this library is to be used as a tool for experimental deployment of cryptographic algorithms targeting Post-Quantum (PQ) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).

Security Disclaimer

🚨 This library is offered as-is, and without a guarantee. Therefore, it is expected that changes in the code, repository, and API occur in the future. We recommend to take caution before using this library in a production application since part of its content is experimental. All security issues must be reported, please notify us immediately following the instructions given in our Security Policy.

Installation

You can get CIRCL by fetching:

go get -u github.com/cloudflare/circl

Zero-knowledge Proofs

  • Schnorr: Prove knowledge of the Discrete Logarithm.
  • DLEQ: Prove knowledge of the Discrete Logarithm Equality.

Testing and Benchmarking

Library comes with number of make targets which can be used for testing and benchmarking:

  • test performs testing of the binary.
  • bench runs benchmarks.
  • cover produces coverage.
  • lint runs set of linters on the code base.
