# 
Sodium is an easy-to-use software library that provides a wide range of cryptographic operations including encryption, decryption, digital signatures, and secure password hashing.
It is a portable, cross-compilable, installable, and packageable fork of [NaCl](http://nacl.cr.yp.to/). While maintaining API compatibility, libsodium extends functionality to improve usability and simplify the development of secure applications.

## Key Features
- **Encryption & Decryption:** Securely encrypt and decrypt data with modern algorithms.
- **Digital Signatures:** Create and verify signatures to ensure data authenticity.
- **Cross-Platform Compatibility:** Supported on Windows (MinGW and Visual Studio, both x86 and x64), iOS, Android, JavaScript, and WebAssembly.
- **User-Friendly API:** Designed to provide all core cryptographic operations while remaining easy to integrate into your projects.
