AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
Tink supports a wide range of cryptographic primitives, including AEAD, Streaming AEAD, Deterministic AEAD, MAC, PRF, Digital Signatures, Hybrid Encryption, JWT Mac, and JWT Signatures, across multiple programming languages.
-
Java, C++, Python, and Go have comprehensive support for all listed primitives, while Objective-C has limited support, lacking Streaming AEAD, PRF, JWT Mac, and JWT Signatures.
-
Developers can leverage Tink's consistent API across different languages to easily implement various cryptographic operations in their applications.
The following table shows which primitives are supported by each language.
| Primitive | Java | C++ | Python | Go | Objective-C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
