An Objective-C library for iOS and macOS providing AES encryption/decryption, MD5 and SHA-family hashing (including HMAC variants), and Base64/Hex encoding and decoding. It wraps CommonCrypto in a simple Cocoa-friendly API with convenient result conversion.

Use cases

  • encrypt and decrypt strings with AES in an iOS app
  • compute MD5 or SHA256 hashes in Objective-C
  • encode data as Base64 or hex strings
  • generate HMAC-SHA signatures
  • simple crypto helpers for Cocoa projects

When to choose

  • you need straightforward AES and hashing in Objective-C without heavy dependencies
  • you want convenient hex/Base64 output conversions

When to avoid

  • you need modern authenticated encryption like AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305
  • you are starting a new Swift project and prefer SwiftCrypto or Apple's CryptoKit
  • you need actively maintained crypto with recent security audits
