  • libsignal-protocol-java

    Signal Protocol library for Java/Android

    Signal message keys seem to include an IV. [1] Message keys are generated by passing a chain key through a key derivation function. [2] So you can also expand a shared secret established through Diffie-Hellman.

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • koreader

    An ebook reader application supporting PDF, DjVu, EPUB, FB2 and many more formats, running on Cervantes, Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook and Android devices

    In case you haven't tried, I suggest using koreader. It has a good combination of a reliable crop and a usable reflow feature. Not ideal, but it's much better than constant zooming and moving the view around.

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

  • ed25519

    Minimal ed25519 Haskell package, binding to the ref10 SUPERCOP implementation.

    Those numbers are clearly nonsense; notice how the smaller ones don't even scale with key size. That paper is flawed. They obviously made a mistake.

    Look at the ed25519 benchmarks:

    https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/

    71000 signature verifications per second and 109000 signature generations per second on a quad-core machine. That is much, much faster than RSA.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
