What's inside Tink Go

  1. Overview of Tink Go

    main

    Tink Go is a multi-language cryptography library written by cryptographers and security engineers at Google. It is designed to provide secure APIs that are easy to use correctly and difficult to misuse, reducing common cryptographic pitfalls through user-centered design, careful implementation, and extensive testing.

    Key characteristics:

    • Safety-first design: Aims to prevent common implementation weaknesses.
    • Simplicity: Provides APIs that can be used safely without requiring a deep background in cryptography.
    • Proven at scale: Used in hundreds of Google products and systems.
