πŸ›‘οΈ CryptoHives Open Source Initiative 🐝

The CryptoHives Open Source Initiative brings consistent, portable, and auditable cryptography to .NET β€” managed code first, OS quirks gone.

🐝 CryptoHives Open Source Initiative .NET Foundation Packages

The CryptoHives Open Source Initiative is a collection of modern, high-assurance cryptographic libraries for .NET, developed and maintained by The Keepers of the CryptoHives. Each package is designed for security, interoperability, and clarity β€” making it easy to build secure systems without sacrificing developer experience. There are also supporting packages which improve memory usage and thread synchronization for high performance transformation pipelines and for cryptography workloads.

πŸ“¦ Available Packages

Package Description NuGet
CryptoHives.Foundation.Memory Memory library NuGet
CryptoHives.Foundation.Threading Threading library NuGet

More packages are available under the CryptoHives.* namespace β€” see the Nuget CryptoHives for details.

🐝 CryptoHives Health

Azure DevOps Tests codecov FOSSA Status

✨ Overview

The CryptoHives .NET Foundation project serves as the first core building block for .NET libraries under the CryptoHives Open Source Initiative umbrella.

All implementations are developed from first principles, without reliance on operating system or native platform crypto providers, ensuring:

  • πŸ”’ Security Transparency β€” all algorithms are clean-room verified and auditable
  • βš™οΈ Predictable Performance β€” optimized memory usage and allocation-free APIs
  • 🧱 Composable Architecture β€” designed for integration in modern .NET applications, from libraries to microservices

🧬 Features

πŸ” Clean-Room Cryptography

  • Fully managed implementations of symmetric and asymmetric algorithms
  • No dependency on OS or hardware cryptographic APIs
  • Deterministic behavior across all platforms and runtimes
  • Support for both classical and modern primitives (AES, ChaCha20, SHA-2/3, etc.)

⚑ High-Performance Primitives

CryptoHives provides a growing set of utilities designed to optimize high performance transformation pipelines and cryptography workloads:

πŸ› οΈ Memory Efficiency

  • ArrayPool-based allocators for common crypto and serialization scenarios
  • Pooled implementations of MemoryStream and IBufferWriter<T> for transformation pipelines
  • Primitives to handle ownership of pooled buffers using ReadOnlySequence<T> with ArrayPool<T>
  • Zero-copy, zero-allocation design for high-frequency cryptographic workloads and transformation pipelines

πŸ› οΈ Concurrency Tools

  • Lightweight Async-compatible synchronization primitives based on ObjectPool and ValueTask<T>
  • High-performance threading helpers designed to reduce allocations of Task and TaskCompletionSource<T>

πŸš€ Installation

Install via NuGet CLI:

dotnet add package CryptoHives.Memory

Or using the Visual Studio Package Manager:

Install-Package CryptoHives.Memory

🧠 Usage Example

Here’s a minimal example using the CryptoHives.Memory package:

using CryptoHives.Memory;
using System;

public class Example
{
    public string WritePooledChunk(ReadOnlySpan<byte> chunk)
    {
        using var writer = new ArrayPoolMemoryStream(defaultBufferSize);
        writer.Write(chunk);
        ReadOnlySequence<byte> sequence = writer.GetReadOnlySequence();
        return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(sequence);
    }
}

πŸ§ͺ Clean-Room Policy

All code within the CryptoHives .NET Foundation is written and validated under strict clean-room conditions:

  • No reverse engineering or derived code from existing proprietary libraries
  • Implementations are verified against public specifications and test vectors
  • Review process includes formal algorithm validation and peer verification

πŸ” Security Policy

Security is our top priority.

If you discover a vulnerability, please do not open a public issue.
Instead, please follow the guidelines on the CryptoHives Open Source Initiative Security Page.
