Agree on the libsodium recommendation. Stanford probably just suffering a little "not invented here" syndrome.
Libsodium is a solid crypto library with long history. It is also embedded in PHP,HHVM,Citrine and Factor "out of the box" and has bindings for many other languages, not just Javascript.
In my view, any competing crypto library would have to be something super special to outweigh all the pros of libsodium.

- thephyber 6y agoThis appears so. From the SJCL documentation: > An older version of this implementation is available in the public domain, but this one is (c) Emily Stark, Mike Hamburg, Dan Boneh, Stanford University 2008-2010 and BSD-licensed for liability reasons.
