The Mystika project seeks to deliver an industrial quality, high-performance cryptographic library with forward-looking features and very high-level code. The idea is to deliver a cryptographic foundation for critical software that consists of a small, efficient, and easy to audit code base built on very high-level coding practices. Here are some key goals:
- Demonstrably Reliable
- Safe and future-worthy cryptography only
- Protocol level compatibility with existing standards when possible
- Easy to use

BA ⍝ Bignum Array
A bignum array is an array of bignums that is stored as an array of 32-bit integers where the first axis is fixed to the number of places for each number. For each BA, the first element is B<2*16, which indicates the size of the base.
BA←BA add BA ⍝ + over Bignums
BA←BA sub BA ⍝ - over Bignums
H←{B} hex S
Converts an integer array S into a hexadecimal string representing the data in row major order. Each element is assumed to represent B bits of data. If B is not provided, then the largest value in the array is used to calculate the number of bits to use per element.
Working with the Mystika code base involves writing tests in the tests/ directory and writing code in the [a-z].cd files in the root directory. Code is loaded into the mystika workspace using the LOAD function. The UT and util namespaces provide testing harness and utility function support for developers.
util.test <name> ⍝ Run the <name>_tests.dyalog test in tests/
util.TEST ⍝ Run all tests in tests/
util.pp ⍝ Equivalent to ⊢ but with a display as a side-effect
LOAD ⍝ Load the latest mystika source into the workspace
