Hi,

I currently work as freelancer for a communication company and I am looking for open source libraries to implement AEAD for an IOT project.

Technically your work is very interesting for my Java team but I am embarrassed by the name of the project which sounds non professionnal. Sorry if this sounds killjoy but my understanding is that your dedicated work deserve real feedback.

Regards, CMH

Hello @cyrilmhansen,

Your feedback is much appreciated. I am open to receiving any kind of feedback. I chose the name because I wanted something effortless built on Libsodium - thus Lazysodium as a name was chosen. It helps to have SEO keywords related to the Libsodium project too.

I can totally see how it would be embarrassing because I've worked in enterprise myself.

I'm open to suggestions about the name. What name would you suggest? Community suggestions also welcome.

The list on the bindings section of Libsodium documentation is uninspiring. I notice that most names do not contain spaces.

My understanding is that the project name should keep some self description value (reference to libsodium or salt and Java /Android) and at the same time conveys a positive impression of quality / productivity for non crypto specialists. Of course existing project names or too close variants should be avoided.

(so names to avoid : ​libsodium-jna​ libstodium​ robosodium​ libsodium-JNI​ ConsenSys Cava jsodium​ Kalium​ sodium-jni​)

Some names I could think of in a few minutes: I may be very influenced by technical books names...

easysodium-java, easysodium-android sodium4j [-android] practical-sodium[-java|-android] pragmatic-sodium[-java|-android] productive-sodium[-java|-android] fruitful-sodium[-java|-android] painless-sodium[-java|-android]

Regards,

Cyril

Hello again. I really like Easysodium.

But, I'm having second thoughts. It's currently too time-consuming for me to move to a different name. Plus, there isn't enough funding on this project so I'm not incentivised enough to move to a different name.

Hope you can understand my viewpoint Cyril.
