GoUmbral – ECC arithmetic layer, and soon-to-be proxy re-encryption lib

goUmbral

goUmbral is a Go implementation of David Nuñez's threshold proxy re-encryption scheme: Umbral . Implemented with OpenSSL , goUmbral is an open-source cryptography library based on the referential python library, pyUmbral .

goUmbral is still in major development and the API in considered unstable. It will be changing a lot.

Quick Installation

OpenSSL is a required dependency. OpenSSL versions 1.1.0+ work but it is recommended to install OpenSSL version 1.1.1.

Install OpenSSL system wide or link to your local installation in the build.go file of umbral.

The NuCypher team uses Go for managing goUmbral's dependencies. The recommended installation procedure is as follows:

go get -u github.com/nucypher/goUmbral/umbral

Then just include the package at the top of your file:

import "github.com/nucypher/goUmbral/umbral"
