Bug#1120021: [ITP] libmonocypher4 -- easy to use, portable, and auditable crypto library



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

URL: https://monocypher.org/
License: BSD-2-Clause or CC0

There's a RFP for this package from 2019 (#946635) already.

Monocypher is a small crypto library that provides a good selection of primitives in ~2kloc. The closest comparison would probably be libsodium23, but that aims for a more higher-level API - and it's also much larger, which isn't ideal for audit purposes.

This library is actually already in use by some Debian packages that have vendored it: openttd, and a bunch of the tillitis-* stuff.

Personally, I'm interested in this package because I want to develop software against it (it seems like the most sensible choice for my needs), and I prefer installing dependencies via apt.

I've thus started working on a package. I'm not a Debian developer but I was told to submit an ITP anyways :)
