libsodium-xchacha20-siv
Deterministic/nonce-reuse resistant authenticated encryption scheme using XChaCha20, implemented on libsodium.
-
WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Hey HN, I shared an earlier prototype version of pgsodium but I just released 2.0 and felt this could be a good opportunity to share some updates!
[pgsodium](https://github.com/michelp/pgsodium) 2.0.0 is a postgres extension that uses the [libsodium](https://doc.libsodium.org/) library to provide high-performance, modern cryptography support for PostgreSQL 10+.
2.0.0 includes a ton of new feature and a few bug-fixes:
* Support for [XChaCha20-SIV](https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium-xchacha20-siv) deterministic nonce-free encryption, this is useful for one-time workflows sacrificing a bit of speed and larger key size without worrying about nonce-handling issues.

* Support for [SignCryption](https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium-signcryption) Sign & Encrypt identity verification. Signcryption goes beyond public key verification to provide identity verification, and negotiating a shared-secret key between two parties to use fast streaming encryption of the payload.
