THEMIS 0.9.6 RELEASE One release a week is good, two releases is better still. After releasing Hermes-core 0.5.1 PoC yesterday, following the good tradition of releasing on the 13th day of the month, we’re releasing Themis 0.9.6 today. The main feature of this release is adding support for OpenSSL 1.1. The rest of the update details are as follows: Docs: Significant update of the Contributing section in Wiki.

THEMIS 0.9.5 RELEASE Strategic planning, respect for traditions, and a consultation with our in-house astrologer led to an imminent release of Themis 0.9.5 on Wednesday 13, the 256th day of the year a.k.a. the International Developer’s Day. The update focuses on crystallizing conveniences, niceties and compatibility fixes that have been around for some time now. Here is the list of improvements: Infrastructure: You can now download pre-built Themis packages from our package server.

This article was published in 2017 about R&D work, which resulted in stable production release of Themis that uses BoringSSL as one of crypto-engines. If you’re a developer and you’re dealing with cryptography for your app, consider using high-level cryptographic libraries like Themis instead of BoringSSL. No need to struggle with BoringSSL if your goal is to protect users’ data. Intro In Themis, we use industry-recognized implementations of cryptographic algorithms that come from OpenSSL/LibreSSL packages.

Why feel cold when happiness and laughter of your colleagues might make any evening warm and happy. Yesterday our team gathered to  release Themis 0.9.4, and so did we.  Take a look at the updates: BoringSSL support on Android and Linux Fixed some leaks and code styling problems (thanks to @bryongloden) Memory management updates for stability in languages, which rely on GC Fix Themis build errors under certain conditions Swift3 support + numerous enhancements from @valeriyvan

More than half of the year has passed since the last release and we have done a lot to make Themis better. Here is what we have updated: Infrastructure: Lots of new high-level language wrappers Enhanced documentation We have added lots of various demo projects Updated Themis Server Better make system verbosity (now you can see what succeeded and what didn't) Infrastructure to build Java on all platforms. Code:  iOS wrapper now has umbrella header.

Why do I even need to choose? Warning: This article borrows a lot from our original Choose your iOS Crypto publication, so if you've read that one, feel free to skip ahead to the libraries and ending notes about the actual Android specificities. When building your next app, you might realise that you need to encrypt the data. There are two main reasons for that: transmitting sensitive data to the server and back

  For the release 0.9.2 of Themis, we did a lot of minor and a few major changes:  Infrastructure: Much better documentation. Updated documentation reveals Themis Server, helpful associate for Themis library: a server where you can see current project status and try out different encryption techniques in your app with server as second party. Official tutorial will follow up soon. All platforms and languages are fully covered in tests now

Introduction Imagine you'd like to build your own chat server, which allows clients to exchange messages safely. You have a simple infrastructure consisting of a server written in Ruby and clients for iOS and Android. This is exactly what the famous Mobile websocket example provides. We have modified it to illustrate how simple it is to add security features using Themis. In this tutorial, we'll try to preserve as much of it's simplicity and architecture as possible, but add cryptographic protection.
