Hi @lvh

Any improvements (and additions) are welcome.

libsodiums seems awesome, but in this case requires installing additional system shared library, that makes much more difficult use buddy for simple setups, requiring do more steps for get it running. And this is not really convinced me.

The facility of adding dependency to leiningen and nothing more is very awesome!
Furthermore, buddy currently offers good key derivation functions and small subset of symmetric ciphers from bouncy castle. Adding others from bouncycastle is very easy and if you want some other that does not exist on bouncycastle but you knows the existence of java implementation of it, we can view how include support for it in buddy without any problem.

In any case, thank you for suggestion.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. Like I said, there's a decent chance I actually end up using buddy anyway because it has all of the stuff I need, and I'm not married to libsodium's stuff :)
