rust-crypto
A pure-Rust implementation of common cryptographic algorithms with a focus on auditability and minimal assembly.
What is rust-crypto?
Rust-Crypto is a cryptographic library that provides pure-Rust implementations of common algorithms like AES, SHA, ChaCha20, and Ed25519. It solves the need for auditable, portable cryptography in Rust projects by minimizing platform-specific assembly code and supporting multiple architectures. The library focuses on practicality and compatibility with the stable Rust ecosystem.
Rust developers who need cryptographic functionality in their applications, particularly those prioritizing code auditability, portability across x86-64, x86, and ARM, and adherence to stable Rust conventions.
Developers choose Rust-Crypto for its emphasis on pure-Rust implementations, which enhances security auditability and reduces unsafe code, along with its broad algorithm support and multi-architecture compatibility without relying heavily on external dependencies.
