hashes
A collection of cryptographic hash functions implemented in pure Rust, designed for interoperability and no_std environments.
What is hashes?
RustCrypto: Hashes is a comprehensive collection of cryptographic hash functions implemented in pure Rust. It provides a standardized, interoperable set of algorithms for developers needing secure hashing in Rust applications, from embedded systems to web services. The project emphasizes cryptographic correctness, interoperability through standardized traits, and accessibility for constrained environments while maintaining comprehensive algorithm coverage for compatibility needs.
Rust developers who need cryptographic hashing in their applications, particularly those working in embedded systems, bare-metal environments, WebAssembly, or any context requiring no_std compatibility. It also serves developers needing a wide range of hash algorithms for compatibility with existing standards or specialized use cases.
Developers choose RustCrypto: Hashes for its extensive algorithm support (over 20 hash functions), standardized APIs via the `digest` crate traits ensuring ecosystem interoperability, and its no_std capability for use in constrained environments. The project provides clear security ratings and modern recommendations, helping developers make informed choices.
