covert-encryption

This issue is of high priority. Adding a `class Password` used in all passphrase handling is needed, avoiding the confusion of current implementation which sometimes uses `bytes` and sometimes `str`,...

The first one seems quite usable, using modern CFFI and actually having the lib of the latest version, so all raw C functions are available to Python. Problems are that...

@LoupVaillant Looks like Monocypher contains most of the functionality we need to only use it for all EC functionality. Two things that are missing are SHA-512 hashing (for standards-compliant Ed25519)...

`crypto_from_eddsa_private` also lacks a version that would allow hash vtable, and is hardcoded to use Blake2b. Really need all of these using SHA-512.

@LoupVaillant covert-web is now using Monocypher for dirty elligator and it looks like we can do that in Python soon, too. A big issue that remains is the XEdDSA implementation,...

The incremental API on XEdDSA signatures won't be necessary, as all modern implementations should be first hashing the data and then signing the hash value (as the *message* of the...

@sh-dv That is a cool project as well! We are glad that you are contributing to open source cryptography and to show our appreciation for that you should now find...

@dwolfhub Are you still maintaining this? We had to publish a fork because no PRs get merged here and those fixes were crucial for our primary project. https://pypi.org/project/zxcvbn-covert/

@dwolfhub Getting a bit of mixed messages here, since you suddenly did merge one of the PRs but did not write anything here. If you'd prefer, we can take over...

> @covert-encryption thanks the submission. i'd like to avoid one giant PR that includes lots of different changes, including merging multiple PRs into it.. This was a practical need for...
