I will try that via an issue on Github - so far I haven't been able to
find a direct email address for the author.  However, if that doesn't
work, I'm not overly concerned about using the trevorbenard/jnacl fork
because it is being used to publish to Maven Central and the differences
between the repos [0] are only related to the pom.

Thanks,
tony

Bug#890222: ITP: jnacl -- Pure Java implementation of the NaCl: Networking and Cryptography library

[tony mancill]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: tony mancill 

* Package name: jnacl
  Version : 0.1.1
  Upstream Author : Neil Alexander
* URL : https://neilalexander.eu/jnacl
* License : BSD-2-clause
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : Pure Java implementation of the NaCl: Networking and 
Cryptography library

 jnacl is a library that implements some of Daniel J. Bernstein's NaCl
 encryption primitives. The functions are written in pure Java, and are
 therefore very straight-forward to make use of in a Java application
 without the use of native libraries and bindings.
 
 The following primitives are included:
 
 - curve25519: Elliptic curve key agreement
 - salsa20: Stream cipher
 - poly1305: Message authenticator (MAC)

 It is open-source and available on GitHub.
 
 Even though it has not been comprehensively benchmarked, jnacl performs
 exceptionally well, even on resource-constrained Android platforms.


This package will be maintained by the Debian Java Team.

This library is a new dependency required to update jeromq.  Note that
the upstream author hasn't tagged releases in [0], therefore the
packaging will track the releases of this fork [1].
