//! # GLOME - Generic Low-Overhead Message Exchange
//!
//! GLOME is a lightweight message authentication protocol based on X25519
//! keys and HMAC-SHA256. See <https://github.com/google/glome> for details on
//! the protocol, usage patterns and implementations in other languages.
//!
//! The Rust implementation of GLOME works with its own [PrivateKey] and
//! [PublicKey] traits to support more than one backing cryptography crate.
//! It aims to provide implementations for the crates most commonly used, which
//! can be activated with the corresponding crate feature. The default and
//! recommended setting is to use [x25519_dalek]. Implementations should be
//! verified with the test vectors in the `tests` module.
