| # Tink |
| |
| Using crypto in your application shouldn't have to feel like juggling chainsaws |
| in the dark. Tink is a crypto library written by a group of cryptographers and |
| security engineers at Google. It was born out of our extensive experience |
| working with Google's product teams, fixing weaknesses in implementations, and |
| providing simple APIs that can be used safely without needing a crypto |
| background. |
| |
| Tink provides secure APIs that are easy to use correctly and hard(er) to misuse. |
| It reduces common crypto pitfalls with user-centered design, careful |
| implementation and code reviews, and extensive testing. At Google, Tink is |
| already being used to secure data of many products such as AdMob, Google Pay, |
| Google Assistant, Firebase, the Android Search App, etc. |

| In addition, there are illustrative [examples of using Tink |
| Python](https://github.com/google/tink/tree/master/python/examples/) which can |
| used as a jumping off point. |
