8Sodium is a new, easy-to-use software library for encryption,
9decryption, signatures, password hashing and more.
10
11It is a portable, cross-compilable, installable, packageable
12fork of [NaCl](http://nacl.cr.yp.to/), with a compatible API, and an
13extended API to improve usability even further.
14
15Its goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to build
16higher-level cryptographic tools.
17
18Sodium supports a variety of compilers and operating systems,
19including Windows (with MingW or Visual Studio, x86 and x64), iOS, Android,
20as well as Javascript and Webassembly.
