Some time ago I promised to show something about cryptography library architecture and implementation for Boost
Here's a "meta question" about the idea of having cryptography in Boost: do we think that the "Boost process" (i.e. reviews etc.) is suitable for cryptography, where the issues are somewhat different than other domains? If I were looking for a cryptography library, I don't think that Boost's emphasis on modern C++ best-practice and the "stamp of approval" from our review process would be my top priorities. Rather, I would be looking for a track record of securely-implemented cryptography coming from acknowledged and trusted domain experts. So if I were comparing this with other libraries, my first question would be "Who is Mikhail Komarov?", followed by "what is the Nil Foundation, and why is it registered in the Cayman Islands?".
