Actively maintained fork of Crypto++ with modern algorithms,
better organisation, and regular security updates.
BLAKE3 hash function and Argon2 password hashing (RFC 9106) - algorithms designed for today’s security requirements.
Regular releases with security patches. Calendar versioning (2026.2.0) for clear release tracking.
Full backward compatibility with Crypto++ 8.9.0. Same namespace, same APIs. Easy migration.
Source files organised in categorised directories. Easier to navigate and understand.
45+ build configurations across Windows, Linux, and macOS. Sanitizer testing for memory safety.
Boost Software License 1.0. All code is public. No restrictions on commercial use.
