Tink is a crypto library written by a 20group of cryptographers and security engineers at Google. It was born out of our 21extensive experience working with Google's product teams, 22[fixing weaknesses in implementations](https://github.com/google/wycheproof), 23and providing simple APIs that can be used safely without needing a crypto 24background. 25 26Tink provides secure APIs that are easy to use correctly and hard(er) to misuse. 27It reduces common crypto pitfalls with user-centered design, careful 28implementation and code reviews, and extensive testing. At Google, Tink is one 29of the standard crypto libraries, and has been deployed in hundreds of products 30and systems. 31 32To get a quick overview of Tink's design please take a look at 33[Tink's goals](https://developers.google.com/tink/design/goals_of_tink). 34 35The official documentation is available at https://developers.google.com/tink. 36 37[devs_are_users_too_slides]: https://www.usenix.org/sites/default/files/conference/protected-files/hotsec15_slides_green.pdf 38 39## Contact and mailing list 40 41If you want to contribute, please read [CONTRIBUTING](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) and 42send us pull requests.
