A fast C/C++ JSI-based implementation of Node's crypto module for React Native, built on Nitro Modules. It serves as a drop-in replacement for JS-based polyfills like crypto-browserify and react-native-crypto, offering native-speed cryptography on mobile.

Use cases

• speed up cryptography in React Native crypto wallets and web3 apps
• replace slow JS crypto polyfills like react-native-crypto or crypto-browserify
• implement end-to-end encryption in a mobile app
• add TOTP two-factor authentication to a React Native app
• encrypt large files locally on iOS and Android
• polyfill global crypto and Buffer for libraries like ethers.js or bitcoinjs-lib
• use Node.js crypto APIs like PBKDF2, scrypt, HMAC, and ECDH in React Native

When to choose

• you need Node.js-compatible crypto APIs in a React Native app with native performance
• your app does heavy cryptography (wallets, local-first databases, E2E encryption) and JS polyfills are too slow
• you want a drop-in replacement for react-native-crypto, expo-crypto, or crypto-browserify
• you're on React Native 0.75+ with the new architecture

When to avoid

• you're building for plain Node.js or the web, where native crypto already exists
• you need older React Native versions below 0.75 without using the legacy 0.x line
• you only need simple random bytes and a lightweight wrapper around system APIs suffices
