potatosalad/erlang-jose
This system is a cryptographic library for the JOSE (JSON Object Signing and Encryption) standard, providing tools for JSON Web Encryption (JWE) and JSON Web Signature (JWS). It supports a wide range of modern algorithms, including ChaCha20-Poly1305, Ed25519/Ed448, and various key exchange methods, with configurable backends for JSON serialization and cryptographic operations. The architecture is modular, allowing users to swap implementations and enable fallbacks for algorithms not natively supported by the runtime environment.

How it got here
2015 · Architecture refactoring and cryptographic expansion
The project underwent a major architectural refactoring to improve modularity and maintainability, introducing new modules for application lifecycle and public key operations. This period also saw significant expansion of cryptographic algorithm support, including ChaCha20, Ed448, and various ECDH methods, alongside comprehensive test coverage for these new features.

2016–2023 · Modern cryptographic algorithm and JSON backend expansion
This period focused on expanding cryptographic support by adding algorithms like ChaCha20-Poly1305, EdDSA, and X25519, alongside implementing new JWE key agreement and encryption modes. The codebase also broadened JSON serialization compatibility by supporting multiple backends such as Jason and Jiffy, while refactoring internal code generation to remove legacy dependencies.

potatosalad/erlang-jose was measured the same way every project in this corpus was: the same rubric, at a pinned commit, with the result published in full. Point the surveyor at a repository you know and see whether you agree with it.
About this page
- The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
- The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 1 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
- Measured at commit c8b669c86d — the exact code this score is about.
- Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
