Security & Testing

Hardens cryptographic implementations by applying Google's Wycheproof test vectors to detect known vulnerabilities and edge-cases.

About

The Wycheproof skill integrates Google's extensive suite of test vectors into the Claude Code environment, allowing developers to rigorously verify the security of their cryptographic libraries. By checking against hundreds of known attacks and edge-case scenarios for algorithms like RSA, AES, and ECDH, this skill helps identify subtle bugs and critical vulnerabilities that standard unit tests often miss. It is an essential resource for security-conscious developers and auditors looking to ensure their encryption modules are resilient against established cryptographic exploits.
