Mercury is designed with security in mind from the beginning.

• There is built in support for checksums and AES encryption in the filesystem.
• HMAC¹ will be used for message passing - which additionally allows for encrypted messages.
• nanorand RNG
• HighwayHash is used for checksums
• Argon2id is used for key-derivation
