PointyCastle was a natural choice when plugin was coded initially.
However, it is so damn slow even for simple text messages.

Can you guys plan a switch to native-crypto?

This native-crypto only supports Android and iOS platforms, so we are not considering using it at this time.

Well actually it is not an issue. With small text is performs good enough. That native plugin can be used only to encrypt files

Maybe we can provide an optional item for the use native crypto library on Android and iOS.

@crossle that’s cool. I mean mobile is the core platform, ad hoc optimization would be much appreciated.
