| # Tink | |
| Using crypto in your application shouldn't have to feel like juggling chainsaws | |
| in the dark. Tink is a crypto library written by a group of cryptographers and | |
| security engineers at Google. It was born out of our extensive experience | |
| working with Google's product teams, fixing weaknesses in implementations, and | |
| providing simple APIs that can be used safely without needing a crypto | |
| background. | |
| Tink provides secure APIs that are easy to use correctly and hard(er) to misuse. | |
| It reduces common crypto pitfalls with user-centered design, careful | |
| implementation and code reviews, and extensive testing. At Google, Tink is | |
| already being used to secure data of many products such as AdMob, Google Pay, | |
| Google Assistant, Firebase, the Android Search App, etc. | |
| ## Documentation | |
| For an overview of using Tink in Python, see https://developers.google.com/tink. | |
| In addition, there are illustrative [examples of using Tink | |
| Python](https://github.com/google/tink/tree/master/examples/python/) which can | |
| used as a jumping off point. |
