RbNaCl is a Ruby FFI binding to NaCl/libsodium, one of the best modern cryptography libraries available:


Version 4 includes support for two new algorithms:
  • ChaCha20Poly1305: a modern authenticated (AEAD) symmetric encryption cipher with great performance on a wide variety of platforms.
  • Argon2: winner of the Password Hashing Competition (PHC), a modern password hashing function
Note this release drops support for Ruby versions prior to 2.2.6. If you need support for older Rubies, please continue using RbNaCl 3.x.
