clinacl
A command line tool for playing with the NaCl cryptography library, with support for Keybase-style signatures. This is a toy, so please don't feed it any private data or rely on it in production.
Use pip to install it:
pip install clinaclNote that depending on how Python is set up on your machine, you might
need to use sudo with that.
