Sodium_compat, a Pure PHP implementation of libsodium

In plain words

Sodium_compat is a PHP library that provides a pure PHP implementation of libsodium, a modern cryptography library. It enables developers to use libsodium's encryption, decryption, and signing functions in PHP environments where the native libsodium extension may not be available. The library is designed for PHP developers who need reliable cryptographic operations without external dependencies.
