Today Hyperledger
announced a new cryptography library called Project Ursa. The goal is to enable the cryptography code to be shared by Hyperledger blockchain projects and others. Cryptography is core to blockchain. It’s used to prove that a block is part of a chain and for many other purposes.
Hyperledger, part of the Linux Foundation, now has eleven enterprise projects. While many use the same low-level cryptographic algorithms and common core libraries, at the blockchain software level they each rolled their own implementations.
The aim is for cryptographic functions to be easily callable in a standard way from the Ursa cryptography library using APIs.
