| 90 | +## IPCrypt libsodium Implementation |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +[libsodium](https://libsodium.org) includes a high-performance, production-ready implementation of IPCrypt. It supports all four encryption modes and leverages hardware AES instructions (AES-NI / ARMv8 Crypto Extensions) when available. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +## Installation |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +libsodium is available on all major platforms: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +```bash |
| 99 | +# macOS |
| 100 | +brew install libsodium |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +# Debian / Ubuntu |
| 103 | +apt install libsodium-dev |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +# Fedora / RHEL |
| 106 | +dnf install libsodium-devel |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +# From source |
| 109 | +git clone https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.git |
| 110 | +cd libsodium |
| 111 | +./configure && make && make install |
| 112 | +``` |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +## Requirements |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +- libsodium 1.0.21 or higher |
| 117 | +- A C compiler (gcc, clang, MSVC) |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +## Usage |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +The libsodium implementation provides a simple C API for all four encryption modes. IP addresses are represented as 16-byte arrays (IPv4-mapped IPv6 format). |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +### Deterministic Encryption |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +```c |
| 126 | +#include <sodium.h> |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +unsigned char key[crypto_ipcrypt_KEYBYTES]; |
| 129 | +unsigned char ip[16], encrypted_ip[16], decrypted_ip[16]; |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +crypto_ipcrypt_keygen(key); |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +crypto_ipcrypt_encrypt(encrypted_ip, ip, key); |
| 134 | +crypto_ipcrypt_decrypt(decrypted_ip, encrypted_ip, key); |
| 135 | +``` |
| 136 | +
|
| 137 | +### Non-Deterministic Encryption (ND) |
| 138 | +
|
| 139 | +```c |
| 140 | +#include <sodium.h> |
| 141 | +
|
| 142 | +unsigned char key[crypto_ipcrypt_KEYBYTES]; |
| 143 | +unsigned char ip[16]; |
| 144 | +unsigned char encrypted[crypto_ipcrypt_nd_BYTES]; /* 24 bytes: 8-byte tweak + 16-byte ciphertext */ |
| 145 | +unsigned char decrypted_ip[16]; |
| 146 | +
|
| 147 | +crypto_ipcrypt_keygen(key); |
| 148 | +
|
| 149 | +crypto_ipcrypt_nd_encrypt(encrypted, ip, key); |
| 150 | +crypto_ipcrypt_nd_decrypt(decrypted_ip, encrypted, key); |
| 151 | +``` |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +### Non-Deterministic Extended Encryption (NDX) |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +```c |
| 156 | +#include <sodium.h> |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +unsigned char key[crypto_ipcrypt_ndx_KEYBYTES]; /* 32 bytes */ |
| 159 | +unsigned char ip[16]; |
| 160 | +unsigned char encrypted[crypto_ipcrypt_ndx_BYTES]; /* 32 bytes: 16-byte tweak + 16-byte ciphertext */ |
| 161 | +unsigned char decrypted_ip[16]; |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +crypto_ipcrypt_ndx_keygen(key); |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +crypto_ipcrypt_ndx_encrypt(encrypted, ip, key); |
| 166 | +crypto_ipcrypt_ndx_decrypt(decrypted_ip, encrypted, key); |
| 167 | +``` |

| 219 | +## Implementation Details |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +The libsodium implementation includes: |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +1. **Hardware Acceleration**: Uses AES-NI on x86/x86_64 and Crypto Extensions on ARMv8 for maximum performance |
| 224 | +2. **Constant-Time Operations**: All operations are designed to run in constant time to prevent timing side-channel attacks |
| 225 | +3. **Secure Memory**: Keys can be stored in secure memory using `sodium_malloc()` and locked with `sodium_mlock()` |
| 226 | +4. **Cross-Platform**: Works on Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and WebAssembly |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +## Supported Features |
