Privacy Kit is a standardized toolkit that provides developers with ready-to-use cryptographic implementations for common privacy challenges in modern applications.
What is Privacy Kit?
Privacy Kit offers cryptographic primitives and patterns that simplify implementing privacy features in applications. Similar to how JWT standardized authentication tokens and NaCl streamlined cryptography, Privacy Kit makes privacy implementation accessible without requiring deep cryptographic expertise.
What Privacy Kit Offers
Encryption Utilities: Simple APIs for encrypting user data at rest and in transit
End-to-End Encryption: Tools for secure communication between users
Secure Multi-Party Computation: Methods for computing on encrypted data
Key Management: Practical approaches to key generation, storage, and rotation
Cross-Platform Support: Consistent implementations across languages and frameworks
Core Goals
Privacy Kit aims to:
Cross-Platform Consistency: Provide identical implementations across multiple languages and environments (iOS, Android, React Native, browsers, Node.js, Go, Rust, Python) ensuring the same security guarantees everywhere
Simplify Implementation: Provide clear APIs for common privacy patterns
Reduce Errors: Minimize the risk of cryptographic implementation mistakes
Enable Privacy by Default: Make it as easy to build private features as public ones
By providing these building blocks, Privacy Kit enables developers to focus on their application's unique value while ensuring privacy is properly implemented.
