Themis (English pronunciation: [ˈθiːmɪs]; from Ancient Greek Θέμις, a Greek Titaness described as "the Lady of good counsel") is an open-source high-level cryptographic services library for securing data during authentication, storage, messaging, network exchange, etc.[2]
Themis uses OpenSSL, BoringSSL, LibreSSL or native cryptographic libraries (f.e. crypto module on Go) as the source of crypto-primitives.[3] Secure Comparator, an implementation of zero-knowledge proof-based protocol and one of Themis cryptosystems[3] which allows two parties to compare a shared secret without revealing it to potentially dishonest party, is described in a whitepaper[4] authored by Ignat Korchagin and Eugene Pilyankevich.
Themis provides unified compatible APIs across 14 platforms: iOS (Swift, Obj-C), Android (Java, Kotlin), desktop Java, С/С++, Node.js, Python, Ruby, PHP, Go, Rust, WASM.[5]
Themis was created by cryptographer and software engineers from the British infosec company Cossack Labs in 2015.[6] The latest update to Themis 0.13.6 was made in November 2020.[7]
OWASP listed[8] Themis as a third party data encryption library recommended for mobile platforms.
In 2020, in the Hacker Noon Noonies contest, Themis became a 2-nd runner-up in a category Best Open Source Project.[9]
