defmodule Object.Encryption do
@moduledoc """
End-to-end encryption for Object network communication.
Provides strong cryptographic guarantees for Object-to-Object communication
including identity verification, forward secrecy, and message authentication.
## Features
- X25519 ECDH for key exchange
- Ed25519 for digital signatures
- ChaCha20-Poly1305 for authenticated encryption
- Double Ratchet algorithm for forward secrecy
- Certificate-based identity verification
- Optional onion routing for anonymity
