Once upon a time unknown three letter force of nature managed to change a character in the reference NaCl source, and copies of this tampered source persist on the net. Make sure you're not using this tampered one. As per "x/crypto/nacl/box" declaration, it should be the direct equivalent of the [2]. As a result of discovered tampering the [3] reference implementation had been produced and carefully inspected upon release. This is the version to be used in vetting other implementations. >>> On Friday, July 12, 2019 at 10:34:10 PM UTC-6, Ian Lance Taylor wrote: >>> we are dropping NaCl support from Go after the 1.13 release. >> On Sat, 13 Jul 2019 06:56:40 -0700 (PDT) B Carr <buc...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Ugh. Why is that? What is the recommended replacement? Names clash: for most Googlers and web developers NaCl stands for 'Native Client' [1]. For the crypto community NaCl[2][3] is a recognized name of Daniel J. Bernstein NaCl library implementing his inventions (Curve25519 public key crypto and Salsa family of ciphers). Famous D.J.Bernstein's "own build mode habits" effected in the libsodium[4] - an open source "rich" version of the original NaCl reference code. Libsodium follows build habits of the rest of the world. >> Ugh. Why is that? What is the recommended replacement? Now, was the question about [1] or [5]? :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Native_Client [2] https://nacl.cr.yp.to/ [3] https://tweetnacl.cr.yp.to/ [4] https://libsodium.org [5] https://golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/box Hope this helps, -- Wojciech S.
