Core type definitions and utilities for the Citadel Protocol. This crate provides fundamental types, error definitions, and utilities used throughout the Citadel Protocol ecosystem.

Core Modules

• crypto: Cryptographic types and utilities

  • Secure memory buffers
  • Cryptographic parameters
  • Algorithm definitions
  • Security level specifications

• errors: Error types and handling

  • Protocol-specific errors
  • Error conversion traits
  • Result type aliases

• proto: Protocol-specific types

  • Message definitions
  • Protocol constants
  • Serialization formats

• user: User-related types

  • User identifiers
  • Authentication data
  • Session information

• utils: General utilities

  • Validation functions
  • Helper traits
  • Common constants

Usage

The crate provides a prelude module for convenient imports:

use citadel_types::prelude::*;

// Use crypto types
let secure_buffer = SecBuffer::empty();
let params = CryptoParameters::default();
