Welcome to Nakasendo^TM

Nakasendo^TM provides a mix of high-level cryptographic functions underpinned by the nChain IP patent portfolio as well as by the cryptographic primitives required to implement your new big idea.

Installation

Download the Nakasendo^TM Installer for your preferred platform.

The best way to run the example code is to define the environment variable SDKLIBRARIES_ROOT pointing to the location where Nakasendo^TM is installed.

Layout

Nakasendo^TM is broadly split into 2 sections. One is high-level functions that require little to no configuration. The other is cryptographic primitives. These are often mission-critical and can be used incorrectly. They require making decisions and having an in-depth knowledge of the cryptographic concepts.

In depth mathematical definitions are given, along with code samples in JavaScript, Python and C++. Full developer setup guides are provided as well as a working example of a generic Threshold Signature Scheme.
