Raaz is a cryptographic library in Haskell that provide a high level
and safe access to a lot of cryptographic operations. The library can
be used for standalone cryptographic applications as well as for
implementing other network protocols. Some of the features that are
unique to raaz are the following
1. Pervasive use of types for better safety.
2. Default choice of primitives and implementations are safe.
3. Mechanism to have multiple implementations for any given
cryptographic primitives. An advanced user who has an in-depth
knowledge of the platform should be able to plugin the desired
implementation.
4. Strong emphasis on API design with thorough documentation.
Building
--------
The recommended way to install raaz is through `cabal-install` version
3.0 or above. We also need a version of GHC that supports backpack
(for details on which version of GHC is supported, refer to our
[CI-builds][github-actions]).
cabal build
cabal test
cabal install
