NaCl: Networking and Cryptography library

NaCl (pronounced "salt") is a new easy-to-use high-speed software library for network communication, encryption, decryption, signatures, etc. NaCl's goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to build higher-level cryptographic tools.

The current version of NaCl supports C and C++. Support for Python is a high priority.
