sodiumoxide
A deprecated Rust binding to libsodium providing type-safe, high-speed cryptography.
What is sodiumoxide?
Sodium Oxide (sodiumoxide) was a Rust library that provided bindings to libsodium, offering high-speed cryptographic operations like encryption, decryption, and digital signatures. It aimed to solve the need for a secure, easy-to-use cryptographic library in Rust with type-safe APIs. The project is now deprecated, as the Rust cryptographic ecosystem has evolved with more modern alternatives.
Rust developers who needed a straightforward, performant cryptographic library for applications requiring secure communication, data encryption, or signature verification.
Developers chose sodiumoxide for its direct integration with the battle-tested libsodium, providing a balance of security, speed, and a type-safe Rust interface that reduced common cryptographic errors.
