Intro and Architecture Diagram

Botan is a comprehensive C++ cryptography library designed to provide the tools necessary for implementing practical systems, such as TLS, certificates, and modern ciphers. It focuses on performance and security, utilizing SIMD wrappers to optimize computationally intensive algorithms like ChaCha, SHA-2, and Argon2.

All 4 chapters

Follow sequentially or jump to any topic. Start with SHA-2 (Hash Function).

Ch.01 CORE
SHA-2 (Hash Function)
Welcome to the first chapter of your journey with Botan! We are starting with one of the most fundamental building blocks of cryptography:…
↗
Ch.02 CORE
ChaCha (Stream Cipher)
Welcome back! In the previous chapter, SHA-2 (Hash Function), we learned how to create a digital fingerprint to ensure our messages aren't…
↗
Ch.03 CORE
Argon2 (Password Hashing)
Welcome back! In the previous chapter, ChaCha (Stream Cipher), we learned how to encrypt messages so nobody can read them.
↗
Ch.04 CORE
Utils (SIMD Wrappers)
Welcome to the final chapter of our beginner's guide to Botan!
