x25519-dalek
A pure-Rust implementation of X25519 elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange with side-channel resistance.
What is x25519-dalek?
x25519-dalek is a pure-Rust implementation of the X25519 elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol. It enables secure key agreement between parties over insecure channels by implementing the RFC7748 specification. The library provides both low-level and high-level APIs for static and ephemeral Diffie-Hellman operations.
Rust developers building cryptographic applications that require secure key exchange, such as encrypted messaging systems, VPNs, or secure channel protocols.
Developers choose x25519-dalek for its memory safety guarantees as a pure-Rust implementation, side-channel resistance features, and compliance with the RFC7748 standard while offering flexible backend options for different security requirements.
