**CIRCL** (Cloudflare Interoperable, Reusable Cryptographic Library) is a collection
of cryptographic primitives written in Go. The goal of this library is to be used as a tool for
experimental deployment of cryptographic algorithms targeting Post-Quantum (PQ) and Elliptic
Curve Cryptography (ECC).

## Security Disclaimer

🚨 This library is offered as-is, and without a guarantee. Therefore, it is expected that changes in the code, repository, and API occur in the future. We recommend to take caution before using this library in a production application since part of its content is experimental. All security issues must be reported, please notify us immediately following the instructions given in our [Security Policy](https://github.com/qtgolang/SunnyNet/src/tlsClient/circl/security/policy).

## Installation

You can get CIRCL by fetching:

```sh
go get -u github.com/qtgolang/SunnyNet/src/tlsClient/circl
```

Alternatively, look at the [Cloudflare Go](https://github.com/cloudflare/go/tree/cf) fork to see how to integrate CIRCL natively in Go.
