Zenroom crypto VM

Zenroom is a secure language interpreter of both Lua and its own secure domain specific language (DSL) to execute fast cryptographic operations using elliptic curve arithmetics.

The Zenroom VM is very small, has no external dependency, is fully deterministic and ready to run end-to-end encryption on any platform: desktop, embedded, mobile, cloud and even web browsers.

Zencode is the name of the DSL executed by Zenroom: it is similar to human language and can process large data structures while operating cryptographic transformations and basic logical operations on them.
