Cryptoint library paper published for constant-time crypto arithmetic

Original: The cryptoint library (2025) [pdf]

A new PDF paper documents cryptoint, a 2025 library for cryptographic integer arithmetic designed to make constant-time programming easier. The library provides types and operations that help developers write cryptographic code resistant to timing attacks without relying on error-prone assembly tricks. Readers on Hacker News are discussing its approach to provably constant-time arithmetic in C.

Why now: Daniel J. Bernstein is a highly respected cryptographer, and constant-time crypto tooling is an active concern among security-focused developers.
