kalium - Java binding to the Networking and Cryptography (NaCl) library

A Java binding to Networking and Cryptography library by Daniel J. Bernstein. All the hard work of making a portable NaCl API version was done by Frank Denis on libsodium and kalium was totally inspired by Tony Arcieri's work with RbNaCl.

Requirements

• JDK 6 or higher
• Apache Maven

Installation

libsodium

kalium is implemented using jnr-ffi to bind the shared libraries from libsodium. For a more detailed explanation, please refer to RbNaCl's documentation.

OS X users can get libsodium via homebrew with:

brew install libsodium 

kalium installation

git clone https://github.com/abstractj/kalium && cd kalium
mvn clean install

Add as a Maven dependency at your project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.abstractj.kalium</groupId>
    <artifactId>kalium</artifactId>
    <version>0.1.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Notes

kalium is a work in progress, feedback, bug reports and patches are always welcome.
