dryoc
A pure-Rust, hard-to-misuse cryptography library providing a mostly drop-in replacement for libsodium.
What is dryoc?
dryoc is a pure-Rust cryptography library designed to be a secure, hard-to-misuse alternative to libsodium. It provides both public-key and secret-key cryptography, password hashing, key derivation, and protected memory features, all while minimizing unsafe code. The project aims to prevent common cryptographic mistakes by offering ergonomic APIs that guide developers toward safe practices.
Rust developers building secure applications that require cryptographic operations, especially those familiar with libsodium or seeking a pure-Rust alternative. It's also suitable for projects prioritizing memory safety and misuse-resistant APIs.
Developers choose dryoc for its pure-Rust implementation, which eliminates dependencies on C libraries and leverages Rust's safety guarantees. Its dual API approach caters to both libsodium users and those preferring idiomatic Rust, while protected memory and SIMD optimizations offer performance and security benefits.
