Keyczar - simple cryptography

[Posted August 12, 2008 by corbet]

The Keyczar project, initially developed at Google, has announced its existence. "Cryptography is easy to get wrong. Developers can choose improper cipher modes, use obsolete algorithms, compose primitives in an unsafe manner, or fail to anticipate the need for key rotation. Keyczar abstracts some of these details by choosing safe defaults, automatically tagging outputs with key version information, and providing a simple programming interface." It is distributed under the Apache 2 license.
