There are a multitude of open-source cryptography libraries. This is why no one needs yet another cryptography library. Nevertheless, having a framework that brings together a range of libraries behind an easy-to-use unified API can be useful. A typical use case could be companies and individuals who are willing to migrate from classical cryptography to quantum-resistant cryptography without having to learn a new API. This is commonly known as crypto-agility.
Sandwich provides such a framework as a meta-library. It provides a hard-to-misuse API that interoperates with trusted and well-established cryptography libraries. Users can switch between protocols and/or libraries in a flash, without having to recompile or even edit their source code.
This presentation breaks down Sandwich by explaining its core principles and its unified API.

In this talk, we will present Sandwich, a cryptography framework that helps developers embracing crypto-agility.
The following topics will be covered:
- Why we created such a framework
- Which technologies are we using (cryptography providers, programming languages)
- The unified Protobuf-based API
