Re: [cryptography] [Cryptography] Announcing ClearCrypt: a new transport encryption library

Very cool stuff Tony!

Major props to you on getting this going! =D

I'm not super familiar with CurveCP, but was rather impressed with MinimaLT 
after reading their paper.

Can you discuss your thoughts on those two, the pros and cons of each, why you 
chose one over the other, and whether you'll consider changing your mind? ^_^

Cheers!
Greg

ClearCrypt's goal is to produce a minimalist transport encryption library 
written in a memory-safe language: Rust.

Web site: http://clearcrypt.org/
The problem: http://clearcrypt.org/tls/
Github repo: https://github.com/clearcrypt/clearcrypt

The project is presently complete vaporware, but the goal is to produce a Rust 
implementation of a next generation transport encryption library. The protocol 
itself is still up for debate, but will likely be based off CurveCP or Noise.

Emphasis will be placed on simplicity, clarity, and audibility. New features 
will be rejected unless they meet these goals. Every commit will be approved by 
multiple people once it has been thoroughly audited.

First up: the choice of a license:

No specific choices have been made yet. CurveCP and MinimaLT are both valid
options.

Another one is Trevor Perrin's Noise:
