Implementing a toy version of TLS 1.3
We can relate to that! It is extremely helpful for our current efforts to implement TLS 1.3 for the Botan crypto library. Especially to get a foothold with TLS and gain a feeling for the protocol structure. Amazing work!

[Ann] A new Haskell crypto lib: Z-Botan 0.1.1
After hundreds of days working. I'm happy to announce that the very first version of Z-Botan is published, It's a new crypto lib built around the versatile botan C++ crypto lib. Currently, all crypto stuff exported by Botan FFI is implemented, i.e.:
What are some alternatives?
When comparing LibreSSL and Botan you can also consider the following projects:
OpenSSL - TLS/SSL and crypto library
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.
Crypto++ - free C++ class library of cryptographic schemes
GnuTLS - GnuTLS
libsodium - A modern, portable, easy to use crypto library.
Themis - Easy to use cryptographic framework for data protection: secure messaging with forward secrecy and secure data storage. Has unified APIs across 14 platforms.
GnuPG - Mirror of git://git.gnupg.org/gnupg.git — master branch contains no changes from upstream.
