Olaoluwa Osuntokun f217093c00 multi: replace usage of fastsha256 with crypto/sha256 This commit removes all instances of the fastsha256 library and replaces it with the sha256 library in the standard library. This change should see a number of performance improvements as the standard library has highly optimized assembly instructions with use vectorized instructions as the platform supports.		2017-03-15 18:56:41 -07:00

The brontide package implements a secure crypto messaging protocol based off of the Noise Protocol Framework. The package exposes the raw state machine that handles the handshake and subsequent message encryption/decryption scheme. Additionally, the package exposes a net.Conn and a net.Listener interface implementation which allows the encrypted transport to be seamlessly integrated into a codebase.

The secure messaging scheme implemented within this package is described in detail in BOLT #8 of the Lightning Network specifications.

This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing secure encrypted+authenticated communications between network enabled programs.
