# CCryptoLib
An integrated collection of cryptographic primitives written in Lua using the ComputerCraft system API.
## Installation
A simple install script is provided, just run the following command: `wget run https://git.chrischro.me/ChrisChrome/ccryptolib/raw/branch/main/install.lua`
## Initialization
An `init.lua` is provided to allow easier access to all modules, use `crypto = require("ccryptolib")` in your script to use the module!
## Initializing the Random Number Generator
All functions that take secret input may query the library's random generator,
`ccryptolib.random`. CC doesn't have high-quality entropy sources, so instead of

If you trust the tmpim Krist node, you can fetch a socket token and use it for
initialization:
```lua
local random = require "ccryptolib.random"
local crypto = require("ccryptolib")
-- Fetch a WebSocket token.
local postHandle = assert(http.post("https://krist.dev/ws/start", ""))

-- Be polite and actually open the socket too.

As of v1.2.0, you can also initialize the generator using VM instruction timing noise.
See the `random.initWithTiming` method for security risks of taking this approach.
```lua
local random = require "ccryptolib.random"
random.initWithTiming()
local crypto = require("ccryptolib")
crypto.random.initWithTiming()
