Name        : libsodium
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 1.0.2
Release     : 1.fc21
URL         : http://libsodium.org/
Summary     : The Sodium crypto library
Description :
Sodium is a new, easy-to-use software library for encryption, decryption,
signatures, password hashing and more. It is a portable, cross-compilable,
installable, packageable fork of NaCl, with a compatible API, and an extended
API to improve usability even further. Its goal is to provide all of the core
operations needed to build higher-level cryptographic tools. The design
choices emphasize security, and "magic constants" have clear rationales.

The same cannot be said of NIST curves, where the specific origins of certain
constants are not described by the standards. And despite the emphasis on
higher security, primitives are faster across-the-board than most
implementations of the NIST standards.

Update Information:

== Version 1.0.2 ==

 - The _easy and _detached APIs now support precalculated keys; crypto_box_easy_afternm(), crypto_box_open_easy_afternm(), crypto_box_detached_afternm() and crypto_box_open_detached_afternm() have been added as an alternative to the NaCl interface.
 - Memory allocation functions can now be used on Operating systems with no memory protection.
 - crypto_sign_open() and crypto_sign_edwards25519sha512batch_open() now accept a NULL pointer instead of a pointer to the message size, if storing this information is not required.
 - The close-on-exec flag is now set on the descriptor returned when opening /dev/urandom.
 - A libsodium-uninstalled.pc file to use pkg-config even when libsodium is not installed, has been added.
 - The iOS target now includes armv7s and arm64 optimized code, as well as i386 and x86_64 code for the iOS simulator.
 - sodium_free() can now be called on regions with PROT_NONE protection.
 - The Javascript tests can run on Ubuntu, where the node binary was renamed nodejs. io.js can also be used instead of node.
