Cryptographic Libraries for JavaScript, Python, C# and Java
- Cryptography in JavaScript
- ECDSA, elliptic.js, js-sha3.js
- Cryptography libraries in Python
- ECDSA, eth_keys
- C# and .NET cryptography
- Bouncy Castle .NET, Nethereum
- Java cryptography
- JCA, Bouncy Castle, Web3j
- C and C++ cryptography
- Crypto++, OpenSSL bindings, Nettle, libgcrypt
TODO:
- OpenSSL - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSL
- LibSodium
- Crypto++

Summary
- JavaScript and Python provide simple cryptography libraries
- Hashes, ECC, ECDSA, AES, and many more
- Cryptography is C# is heavy
- Use Bouncy Castle .NET for general crypto
- Or Nethereum for simplified secp256k1
- Cryptography in Java is heavy
- JCA and Bouncy Castle are hard to use
- Web3j is simplifies library for secp256k1
