8 Sodium is a new, easy-to-use software library for encryption,
9 decryption, signatures, password hashing and more.
11 It is a portable, cross-compilable, installable, packageable
12 fork of [NaCl](http://nacl.cr.yp.to/), with a compatible API, and an
13 extended API to improve usability even further.
15 Its goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to build
16 higher-level cryptographic tools.
18 Sodium supports a variety of compilers and operating systems,
19 including Windows (with MingW or Visual Studio, x86 and x64), iOS and Android.
23 The documentation is a work-in-progress, and is being written using
