| CryptoHives .NET Foundation

Getting Started with CryptoHives.Foundation

Each package below installs independently and comes with its own quick-start examples and API reference.

Packages

Memory Package

Allocation-efficient buffer management on top of ArrayPool<T> — pooled memory streams, buffer writers, and ReadOnlySequence<byte> support.

dotnet add package CryptoHives.Foundation.Memory

ValueTask-based async synchronization primitives with pooled waiter objects: AsyncLock, AsyncAutoResetEvent, AsyncManualResetEvent, AsyncBarrier, AsyncReaderWriterLock, AsyncSemaphore, and AsyncCountdownEvent.

dotnet add package CryptoHives.Foundation.Threading

Security.Cryptography Package

Specification-based hash algorithms, MACs, ciphers, and key derivation functions — SHA-2, SHA-3, SHAKE, cSHAKE, TurboSHAKE, KangarooTwelve, KMAC, BLAKE2, BLAKE3, Ascon, Keccak, SM3, Streebog, Kupyna, LSH, Whirlpool, RIPEMD-160, AES-CBC/GCM/CCM, ChaCha20, ChaCha20-Poly1305, XChaCha20-Poly1305, Ascon-AEAD128, regional ciphers (SM4, ARIA, Camellia, Kuznyechik, Kalyna, SEED), HKDF/KBKDF/PBKDF2, and legacy MD5/SHA-1.

dotnet add package CryptoHives.Foundation.Security.Cryptography

Threading Analyzers (Standalone)

Roslyn analyzers for ValueTask misuse. Install this alongside the Threading package if you want the compile-time checks.

dotnet add package CryptoHives.Foundation.Threading.Analyzers

Porting existing code

Moving an existing project onto these packages — replacing BCL async primitives, buffer/pool code, and hashing? See the Porting Guide, a step-by-step playbook (also usable directly by AI coding agents). Each package additionally ships a PORTING.md at its NuGet package root.
