Tink Primitives

Tink performs cryptographic tasks via so-called primitives and interfaces.

Supported primitives and their implementations

Primitives supported by language

See https://developers.google.com/tink/primitives-by-language

Primitive implementations supported by language

See https://developers.google.com/tink/supported-key-types

General properties of all primitives

• stateless (hence thread-safe)
• copy-safe (for the parameters)
• at least 128-bit security (with an exception for RSA)
