EDIT: OCT 22 2025 - COMPILED NEW .SO FILES ON NDK 29

How the artifacts were built

The jniLibs directory contains .so library files built with libsodium's Android release scripts located in dist-build using their stable branch as of October 22rd 2025, SHA 0b1d032e31c68a4230010b82a44592f7345a6d27. Android NDK LTS 29.0.14206865 (r29) was used with platform target of API 29. SHA256 hashes are as follows

Lazysodium Android

Lazysodium is a complete Android implementation of the Libsodium library that provides developers with a smooth and effortless cryptography experience.

Note: Min SDK of 24 required

About

We created Lazysodium because we really wanted a solid Libsodium compatible Java/Android library that would just work without fuss. We were exasperated and annoyed with current Libsodium implementations as some of them were just poorly maintained and poorly architected.

You can find more info here.

Features

This library is fully compatible with Kotlin powered Android projects.

You can find an up-to-date feature list here.

Quick start

This is by no means a comprehensive introduction to Lazysodium. Please view the official documentation for a more comprehensive guide.

Whatever build tool you're using the general gist is to add the mavenCentral() repository and then add the Lazysodium dependency. More detailed instructions here.

The following example is for users of the build tool Gradle:

// Top level build file
repositories {
    // Add this to the end of any existing repositories
    mavenCentral()
}

// Project level dependencies section
dependencies {
    implementation "com.goterl:lazysodium-android:VERSION_NUMBER@aar"
    implementation "net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.17.0@aar"
}

Substitute VERSION_NUMBER for the version in this box:

Documentation

See our official documentation to get started.

Apps

You can preview some of the features in our free Lazysodium app available on Google Play:

Lazysodium for Java

We also have a Java implementation available at Lazysodium for Java. It has the same API as this library so you can share code easily!
