About:
AWS Crypto Abstraction Layer (aws-c-cal) provides a cross-platform cryptographic interface for AWS C libraries. It abstracts low-level crypto operations, allowing seamless integration with platform-specific implementations like Apple's CommonCrypto or Linux's OpenSSL. This ensures consistent security behavior across different environments while maintaining high performance.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform cryptographic abstraction layer
  • Supports multiple backends (OpenSSL, CommonCrypto, Windows CNG)
  • Memory-safe C implementation with zero-copy operations
  • Integration with aws-c-common for error handling and logging
Use Cases:
  • Building AWS SDK components that require consistent cryptography
  • Developing secure C applications needing portable crypto operations
  • Creating cryptographic libraries that must work across macOS, Linux, and Windows
Alternatives:
  • libsodium – Higher-level API, but aws-c-cal is optimized for AWS ecosystem integration
  • OpenSSL directly – More complex API, lacks cross-platform abstraction that aws-c-cal provides
