This is a small implementation of AES in safe Rust, with no dependencies. The core algorithm is ported
from AES core of [OpenSSL 1.1.1 stable](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable/crypto/aes/aes_core.c).
It is hardware-independent and fast (for example, as of January 2021, its AES-128 CBC mode is more than 3X faster than
RustCrypto [`aes`](https://crates.io/crates/aes) + [`block-modes`](https://crates.io/crates/block-modes) crates,
see [benchmark](https://github.com/keepsimple1/libaes-utils/blob/main/README.md#Benchmark)).
Currently, this library supports:
- CBC mode: 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys
- CFB128 mode
See [Documentation](https://docs.rs/libaes/) for examples and [tests](tests).
## Correctness
We use the test data in NIST Special Publication 800-38A to verify the cipher, see the [test code](tests/aes.rs).
## Minimum Rust version
Tested against Rust 1.46.0
