Hello crypto-people, Frank Denis just announced Sodium, a fork of NaCl containing only the reference C code, packaged using a standard autotools build system:
http://labs.umbrella.com/2013/03/06/announcing-sodium-a-new-cryptographic-library/ NaCl has traditionally been hard to use because it targets *IX exclusively and the assembly versions of the various algorithms are not PIC yet. For this reason there are a lot of issues making NaCl work portably (e.g. across 32-bit/64-bit platforms, let alone Windows) Sodium is designed to be portable, easy to compile/package, and it even works on Windows! Some might think this undermines some of the original goals of NaCl, however djb has suggested it as an option in the past: On Sun, Dec 16, 2012 at 10:27 PM, D. J.
