## What should I use for my application?
| Class | |
| --- | --- |
| `CryptoBox` `Sign` `SecretBox` | I don't know much about crypto. |
| `Cox::CryptoBox::PrivateKey` | I want to encrypt + authenticate data using public key encryption. |
| `Cox::Sign::PrivateKey` | I want to sign or verify messages without encryption. |
| `Cox::SecretBox` | I have a shared key and want to encrypt + authenticate data. |
| AEAD | I have a shared key and want encrypt + authenticate streamed data. (not implemented yet) |
| `Cox::Blake2b` | I want to hash data fast and securely. |
| `Cox::SipHash` | I want to hash data really fast and less securely. (not implemented yet) |
| `Cox::Pwhash` | I want to hash a password and store it. |
| `Cox::Pwhash` | I want to derive a key from a password. |
| `Cox::Kdf` | I have a high quality master key and want to make subkeys. |
| `Cox::Cipher::Chalsa` | What goes with guacamole? |
| Everything else | I want to design my own crypto protocol and probably do it wrong. |
The `specs` provide the best examples of how to use or misuse this shard.
