Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Libsodium: A modern, portable, easy to use crypto library
Libsodium has been around for a while, so probably the reason it was posted is that version 1.0.19 was just released: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/releases/tag/1.0.19-RE...
Updated NuGet and Swift packages are going to be uploaded soon.
AEGIS-128X and 256X are not there yet, but if you need them, they are available in libaegis: https://github.com/jedisct1/libaegis
All the code from libaegis will eventually be merged into libsodium, including the incremental update API which is especially useful for TLS.

I created an encrypted command line jounal
To address both of these vulnerabilities, you should instead use a library that handles these sharp edges for you. A well received library in the security and cryptography communities is libsodium. It has high level functions that handle password hashing and data encryption for you, reducing the risk that you introduce vulnerabilities in your code, such as you have here.

Dangerous toys: Anything to ed25519 (SSH Keys)
This article [0] has a good explanation of why clamping is necessary. But the process is very simple, you just generate 256 random bits, clear the three lowest order to avoid small subgroup attacks, then clear the highest order and set the second highest order to avoid side-channel attacks which may occur if an implementation isn’t constant-time. The Libsodium source shows this pretty clearly: [1], lines 18-23.

monero-python 0.99 is released, testers welcome!
Finally I managed to replace the slow pure-Python reference implementation of Ed25519 cryptography with pynacl which is a binding to libsodium, the industry standard lightning-fast C library.

libsodium-wrappers on a Raspberry Pi Zero W
See if you can use this library instead of libsodium, as it'll probably work on your raspi zero: https://github.com/jedisct1/libhydrogen (Node bindings: https://github.com/trampi/node-libhydrogen-binding)

Ask HN: Are there small alternatives to libsodium/NaCL
Are you possibly thinking of libhydrogen?
What are some alternatives?
OpenSSL - TLS/SSL and crypto library
Crypto++ - free C++ class library of cryptographic schemes
mbedTLS - An open source, portable, easy to use, readable and flexible TLS library, and reference implementation of the PSA Cryptography API. Releases are on a varying cadence, typically around 3 - 6 months between releases.
Botan - Cryptography Toolkit
Bcrypt - Modern(-ish) password hashing for your software and your servers
LibTomCrypt - LibTomCrypt is a fairly comprehensive, modular and portable cryptographic toolkit that provides developers with a vast array of well known published block ciphers, one-way hash functions, chaining modes, pseudo-random number generators, public key cryptography and a plethora of other routines.
LibreSSL - LibreSSL Portable itself. This includes the build scaffold and compatibility layer that builds portable LibreSSL from the OpenBSD source code. Pull requests or patches sent to [email protected] are welcome.
Tiny AES128 in C - Small portable AES128/192/256 in C
BLAKE3 - the official Rust and C implementations of the BLAKE3 cryptographic hash function
Tink - Tink is a multi-language, cross-platform, open source library that provides cryptographic APIs that are secure, easy to use correctly, and hard(er) to misuse.
GnuPG - Mirror of git://git.gnupg.org/gnupg.git — master branch contains no changes from upstream.
Themis - Easy to use cryptographic framework for data protection: secure messaging with forward secrecy and secure data storage. Has unified APIs across 14 platforms.
