Project mention: My Greatest Fear About ALL Crypto not just Bitcoin - ONE GIANT RUG PULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | reddit.com/r/Bitcoin | 2021-12-06
There are plenty of people that have read the source code and can confirm the binaries match source \search "reproducible"))

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.
Project mention: Selenite: A Post-Quantum Cryptography Library For Digital Certificates Written In Rust | reddit.com/r/crypto | 2021-10-09Google has also started to add post-quantum algorithms to their Tink library. https://github.com/google/tink

Eventually I would like to see it added to getmonero.org alongside the CCS, Bounties, and monerodevs.org as discussed [here](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/issues/1880).

HElib
HElib is an open-source software library that implements homomorphic encryption. It supports the BGV scheme with bootstrapping and the Approximate Number CKKS scheme. HElib also includes optimizations for efficient homomorphic evaluation, focusing on effective use of ciphertext packing techniques and on the Gentry-Halevi-Smart optimizations.
FHE has been around for a while now, IBM: https://github.com/homenc/HElib and Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/microsoft-seal/ both have their own (much more mature) FHE implementations.
-
fully-homomorphic-encryption
Libraries and tools to perform fully homomorphic encryption operations on an encrypted data set.
Project mention: Google releases C++ Transpiler for Fully Homomorphic Encryption | reddit.com/r/cybersecurity | 2021-06-15 -
Scout APM
Scout APM: A developer's best friend. Try free for 14-days. Scout APM uses tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code so you know the exact line of code causing performance issues and can get back to building a great product faster.

https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs via KDE vaults or at command line to encrypt the Nextcloud folder. Sirikali if you're syncing to a windows machine. Test the operation on a test folder tree before using your important files.

Alongside with the SAT solver interface and its extensions, `kotlin-satlib` provides wrappers for native SAT solvers (these days, most of them are written in C/C++) implemented using JNI technology. Currently, the solvers included are: MiniSat, Glucose, Cadical and CryptoMiniSat. Sadly, `kotlin-satlib` won't work out-of-the-box, you have to provide it with some external SAT solver, either in the form of a library or a binary. Luckily, there are build instructions for each of the supported SAT solver, both for Linux and Windows. Checkout the README!

Project mention: Integration test: Complexity of privacy-preserving bird call bio-sensor for distributed ecological monitoring? | reddit.com/r/SingularityNet | 2021-06-23
Some of the technologies which could be integrated include differential privacy, distributed online machine learning, misinformation resilience and multi-party computation, all within the context of smart contracts and bioinformatics.

EncryptPad
Minimalist secure text editor and binary encryptor that implements RFC 4880 Open PGP format: symmetrically encrypted, compressed and integrity protected. The editor can protect files with passwords, key files or both.
Project mention: Show HN: Kryptor – A simple, modern, and secure encryption tool | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-08-24Would EncryptPad be enough for your needs?

Project mention: You Shouldn't Roll Your Own Crypto: An Empirical Study | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-07-25
I understand that they base their research on CVE data because it offers normalized quantifiers of severity and scope, but in my experience vendors by and large don't bother with CVE's for API bugs even when the affected primitive is clearly malfunctioning (memory or correctness issues).
I've been deeply fuzzing cryptographic libraries for a few years and found about 130 bugs [1]. The vast majority of these did not receive a CVE. Now some of these are merely theoretical, others will only manifest under particular circumstances like specific calling sequences, others were caught in the development phase before landing in stable releases, but a number of them are outright vulnerabilities. The usefulness of CVE incidence is questionable when it is so strongly influenced by the vendor's propensity for reporting these.
