Type-safe Multiplatform cryptography library for Kotlin

CryptographyProvider.Default
    .get(SHA512)
    .hasher()
    .hash("Kotlin is Awesome".encodeToByteArray())

Detailed documentation can be found on project website

Overview

cryptography-kotlin provides multiplatform API which consists of multiple components:

• Secure random with kotlin.Random like API which can be used independently of other modules
• common API to use different cryptography operations, like ciphers, digests, signatures, key derivation, Key agreement
• multiple algorithms definitions, like AES, RSA, ECDSA, ECDH, SHA, HMAC and PBKDF2
• multiple cryptography providers, like OpenSSL, WebCrypto, CryptoKit and JDK

The library doesn't implement any cryptography algorithm on its own, but wraps well-known future-proof solutions like OpenSSL 3.x, CryptoKit, WebCrypto or JCA with type-safe multiplatform API providing uniform experience with aligned default behavior, and same expected results using identical parameters while allowing to use platform-specific capabilities. For supported algorithms, primitives and targets, please consult Providers documentation

Using in your projects

Make sure that you use Kotlin 2.2.0+. Using an earlier Kotlin version could still work, but not tested. The library is published to Maven Central, so make sure that it’s added to repositories.

kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation("dev.whyoleg.cryptography:cryptography-core:0.5.0")
            implementation("dev.whyoleg.cryptography:cryptography-provider-optimal:0.5.0")
        }
    }
}

Additionally, it's possible to use BOM or Gradle version catalog to add dependencies easier.
