Cryptonite is a haskell repository of cryptographic primitives. Each crypto
algorithm has specificities that are hard to wrap in common APIs and types,
so instead of trying to provide a common ground for algorithms, this package
provides a non-consistent low-level API.

If you have no idea what you're doing, please do not use this directly.
Instead, rely on higher level protocols or implementations.

Versioning
----------

Development versions are an incremental number prefixed by 0. There is no
API stability between development versions.

Production versions : TBD

Coding Style
------------

The coding style of this project mostly follows:
[haskell-style](https://github.com/tibbe/haskell-style-guide/blob/master/haskell-style.md)

Support
-------

cryptonite supports the following platforms:

* Windows >= 8
* OSX >= 10.8
* Linux
* BSDs

On the following architectures:

* x86-64
* i386

On the following haskell versions:

* GHC 7.0.x
* GHC 7.4.x
* GHC 7.6.x
* GHC 7.8.x
* GHC 7.10.x

Further platforms and architectures probably work too, but since the
maintainer(s) don't have regular access to them, we can't commit to
further support.

Known Building Issues
---------------------

On OSX <= 10.7, the system compiler doesn't understand the '-maes' option, and
with the lack of autodetection feature builtin in .cabal file, it is left on
the user to disable the aesni. See the [Disabling AESNI] section

Disabling AESNI
---------------

It may be useful to disable AESNI for building, testing or runtime purposes.
This is achieved with the *support_aesni* flag.

As part of configure of cryptonite:

```
  cabal configure --flag='-support_aesni'
```

or as part of an installation:

```
  cabal install --constraint="cryptonite -support_aesni"
```

For help with cabal flags, see: [stackoverflow : is there a way to define flags for cabal](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23523869/is-there-any-way-to-define-flags-for-cabal-dependencies)
