Open Source Swift Cryptography Software

ShadowsocksX-NG is the new ShadowsocksX, a secure socks5 proxy for accessing restricted sites or services on macOS. ShadowsocksX-NG was created separately from the original implementation as there had been too much unused code and dependencies of the ss-local source code in the original that had to be maintained. As such it was difficult to update. ShadowsocksX-NG has just a copy of ss-local from Homebrew, and its GUI code has been rewritten in Swift. It now runs as a background service rather than an in-app process, so the ss-local may still be running even after you quit the app. ShadowsocksX-NG also has an added manual mode so you can configure your apps to use the socks5 proxy manually without configuring the system proxy settings.

The master branch follows the latest currently released version of Swift. If you need an earlier version for an older version of Swift, you can specify its version in your Podfile or use the code on the branch for that version. Older branches are unsupported. Swift Package Manager uses debug configuration for debug Xcode build, that may result in significant (up to x10000) worse performance. Performance characteristic is different in Release build. XCFrameworks require Xcode 11 or later and they can be integrated similarly to how we’re used to integrating the .framework format. Embedded frameworks require a minimum deployment target of iOS 9 or macOS Sierra (10.12). CryptoSwift uses array of bytes aka Array<UInt8> as a base type for all operations. Every data may be converted to a stream of bytes. You will find convenience functions that accept String or Data, and it will be internally converted to the array of bytes.
