[PHP Extension] Zodium: A libsodium OOP wrapper.

New Project: Zodium PHP Extension.

This project is a PHP extension, written with Zephir to wrap the libsodium library in a object-oriented layer.

Basically, it aims to provide a clean, easy and safe alternative to the original bindings of the cryptographic library.

At this point, three API's are already available:

• Hashing with BLAKE2b.
• AEAD (Advanced Encryption with Associated Data).
• SecretBox (Secret-key authenticated encryption with XSalsa20 and Poly1305).

Usage:

The library aims to be really easy to use.

Technology Stack:

• About libsodium:

Sodium is a modern, easy-to-use software library for encryption, decryption, signatures, password
hashing and more.

• About Zephir:

Zephir, an open source, high-level language designed to ease the creation and maintainability of
extensions for PHP with a focus on type and memory safety.

Roadmap:

Current features to be included are:

• Constant-time helpers and safe evaluation of sensitive values.
• Public-key Encryption.
• Stand-alone message authentication.
• Bind Zephir optimizers to calls on the libsodium directly.
• Documentation
• .phpt tests.
