Package saltpack is an implementation of the saltpack message format. Saltpack is a light wrapper around Dan Berstein's famous NaCl library. It adds support for longer messages, streaming input and output of data, multiple recipients for encrypted messages, and a reasonable armoring format. We intend Saltpack as a replacement for the PGP messaging format, as it can be used in many of the same circumstances. However, it is designed to be: (1) simpler; (2) easier to implement; (3) judicious (perhaps judgmental) in its crypto usage; (4) fully modern (no CFB mode here); (5) high performance; (6) less bug- prone; (7) generally unwilling to output unauthenticated data; and (8) easier to compose with other software in any manner of languages or platforms. Saltpack makes no attempt to manage keys. We assume the wrapping application has a story for key management. Saltpack supports three modes of operation: encrypted messages, attached signatures, and detached signatures. Encrypted messages use NaCl's authenticated public-key encryption; we add repudiable authentication. An attached signature contains a message and a signature that authenticates it. A detached signature contains just the signature, and assumes an independent delievery mechanism for the file (this might come up when distributing an ISO and separate signature of the file). Saltpack has two encoding modes: binary and armored. In armored mode, saltpack outputs in Base62-encoding, suitable for publication into any manner of Web settings without fear of markup-caused mangling. This saltpack library implementation supports two API patterns: streaming and all-at-once. The former is useful for large files that can't fit into memory; the latter is more convenient. Both produce the same output. See https://saltpack.org
