4KB cryptography. Does that sound safe? Because it should.
Announcing v2 of single-feature modules noble secp256k1 and noble ed25519. secp is just 430 lines of code (4KB gzipped), ed is only 330 lines (3.3KB gzipped) — 4x smaller than previous versions.
Tweetnacl was a great idea. Smaller attack surface means less things that could go wrong. New libraries develop the concept further: there are tons of comments everywhere, describing how things work - makes it much easier for cryptography newcomers to read.
