olm (olm and megolm cryptographic ratchets)
|
|
|
|
An implementation of the Double Ratchet cryptographic ratchet described by
|
|
https://whispersystems.org/docs/specifications/doubleratchet/, written in
|
|
C and C++11 and exposed as a C API.
|
|
|
|
The specification of the Olm ratchet can be found in olm.md.
|
|
|
|
This library also includes an implementation of the Megolm cryptographic
|
|
ratchet, as specified in megolm.md.
|
|
|
|
Olm is designed to be easy port to different platforms and to be easy to
|
|
write bindings for.
|
|
|
|
It was originally implemented in C++, with a plain-C layer providing the
|
|
public API. As development has progressed, it has become clear that C++
|
|
gives little advantage, and new functionality is being added in C, with
|
|
C++ parts being rewritten as the need arises.
