# Nim cryptographic library

Nimcrypto is Nim's cryptographic library. It implements several popular cryptographic algorithms and their tests with some [examples](https://github.com/cheatfate/nimcrypto/tree/master/examples).

  

Most notably, this library has been used in the [Nimbus Ethereum client](https://our.status.im/nimbus-for-newbies/). To see the implementation, check out its [Github repository](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus).

## The most basic usage

```bash

nimble install nimcrypto # installation

```

```nim

# example.nim

import nimcrypto

echo keccak_256.digest("Alice makes a hash") 

# outputs F8AE86DA35CF3D9F0816BAA6015A6AFFD20BA5D6A533FEA94D89D6164264326F

```
