RbNaCl is actually a Ruby FFI binding to the shared lib= rary provided by Sodium, a more portable repackaging of NaCl based entirely= on the reference C code in NaCl with all assembly removed:


NaCl itself has been designed to be relatively easy-to-use, with many commo= n cryptographic user errors eliminated from its algorithms by design. It pr= ovides APIs which seek to eliminate mistakes, and therefore has relatively = simple requirements in order for users to utilize it securely.

RbNaCl is one of the few Ruby crypto libraries which pr= ovides authenticated encryption modes, and wraps both the "box" (= public-key) and "secret_box" (secret-key) encryption functions pr= ovided by NaCl. In addition, RbNaCl also exposes the Ed25519 digital signat= ure algorithm, a fast and deterministic alternative to algorithms like (EC)= DSA. Finally, RbNaCl also wraps the hash functions and HMAC support found i= n NaCl.

If you're looking to do cryptography in Ruby, RbNaC= l is one of your best options.

Enjoy!
