What's New

v0.1.8

2025-05-17T14:26:34Z

Version 0.1.8 includes the following changes:

Removed deprecations in favour of warnings in the documentation.
- The deprecations were causing more issues than what it’s worth. Given that no one will use these methods directly, it’s better to document the fact that the methods should only be used for iOS 15 and earlier, as well as tvOS 15 and earlier.

ATCryptography

Cryptographic utilities for the AT Protocol, written in Swift.

This Swift package implements cryptographic operations required by the AT Protocol, using Apple's swift-crypto and compatible libraries. It's designed to be similar in features as the crypto package in the official atproto TypeScript repository. ATCryptography supports the following cryptographic systems:

"p256," otherwise known as "secp256r1" or "NIST P-256."
"k256," otherwise known as "secp256k1" or "NIST K-256."

The library provides helpers for key management, signing, verification, hashing, and encoding. These utilities are aligned with AT Protocol’s cryptographic requirements, including low-S signatures, byte representation compression, and string encodings.

For details on cryptography in the AT Protocol, refer to the Cryptography section of the specification.

Installation

You can use the Swift Package Manager to download and import the library into your project:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/ATProtoKit/ATCryptography.git", from: "0.1.0")
]

Then under targets:

targets: [
    .target(
        // name: "[name of target]",
        dependencies: [
            .product(name: "ATCryptography", package: "atcryptography")
        ]
    )
]

Requirements

ATCryptography is designed to be a server application. For a Linux server, Swift 6.0 or later is required. The minimum requirements include:

Amazon Linux 2
Debian 12
Fedora 39
Red Hat UBI 9
Ubuntu 20.04

You can also use it on macOS. Please target macOS 13 or later.

You can also use this project for any programs you make using Swift and running on Docker.

Warning

As of right now, Windows support is theoretically possible, but not has not been tested to work. Contributions and feedback on making it fully compatible for Windows and Windows Server are welcomed.
