+# AndroidX3DH
+
+This package implements the <a href="https://signal.org/docs/specifications/x3dh/">X3DH</a> key agreement protocol in Swift. The cryptographic operations are provided by <a href="https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium">libsodium</a> entirely.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Jitpack
+To integrate the library via jitpack add the jitpack repository to your root `build.gradle` file:
+
+```
+allprojects {
+  repositories {
+    ...
+    maven { url  "https://dl.bintray.com/terl/lazysodium-maven" }
+    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+You can then add the dependency to your app's `build.gradle` file where `$VERSION` specifies the specific version of the library:
+
+```
+dependencies {
+  implementation 'com.github.TICESoftware:AndroidHKDF:$VERSION'
+  implementation "com.goterl.lazycode:lazysodium-android:4.1.0@aar"
+  implementation 'net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.5.0@aar'
+}
+ ```
+
+# Usage
+
+Alice needs to retrieve some public keys from Bob that he has made public previously. She then calculates a shared secret and sends some information to Bob so that he can calculcate the shared secret on his side as well.
+
+```kotlin
+val preKeySigner = // ... Signing the key is not part of this library
+val prekeySignatureVerifier = // ... and neither is verification
+
+val bob = X3DH()
+val bobIdentityKeyPair = bob.generateIdentityKeyPair()
+val bobSignedPrekeyPair = bob.generateSignedPrekeyPair { /* Signer */ }
+val bobOneTimePrekeyPairs = bob.generateOneTimePrekeyPairs(2)
+
+val alice = X3DH()
+val aliceIdentityKeyPair = alice.generateIdentityKeyPair()
+val aliceSignedPrekey = alice.generateSignedPrekeyPair { /* Signer */ }
+
+// [Alice fetches bob's prekey bundle ...]
+
+val keyAgreementInitiation = alice.initiateKeyAgreement(bobIdentityKeyPair.publicKey, bobSignedPrekeyPair.keyPair.publicKey, bobSignedPrekeyPair.signature, bobOneTimePrekeyPairs.first().publicKey, aliceIdentityKeyPair, aliceSignedPrekey.keyPair.publicKey, { /* Verifier */ }, info)
+
+// [Alice sends identity key, ephemeral key and used one-time prekey to bob ...]
+
+val sharedSecret = bob.sharedSecretFromKeyAgreement(aliceIdentityKeyPair.publicKey, keyAgreementInitiation.ephemeralPublicKey, bobOneTimePrekeyPairs.first(), bobIdentityKeyPair, bobSignedPrekeyPair.keyPair, info)
+```
