Cryptography primitives for LLM Config Manager providing AES-256-GCM encryption, key derivation, and secure key management.

Features

  • AES-256-GCM Encryption: Industry-standard encryption for configuration secrets
  • Secure Key Derivation: Argon2id-based key derivation from passwords
  • Key Management: Secure generation, storage, and rotation of encryption keys
  • Zero-Copy Security: Zeroization of sensitive data in memory
  • ChaCha20-Poly1305: Alternative cipher for high-performance scenarios

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
llm-config-crypto = "0.5.0"

Basic Example

use llm_config_crypto::{CryptoManager, KeyDerivation};

// Create a crypto manager
let crypto = CryptoManager::new()?;

// Encrypt sensitive data
let plaintext = b"my-secret-value";
let encrypted = crypto.encrypt(plaintext)?;

// Decrypt data
let decrypted = crypto.decrypt(&encrypted)?;
assert_eq!(plaintext, decrypted.as_slice());

Key Derivation

use llm_config_crypto::KeyDerivation;

// Derive a key from a password
let password = "my-secure-password";
let salt = KeyDerivation::generate_salt()?;
let key = KeyDerivation::derive_key(password, &salt)?;

Security Features

  • AEAD: Authenticated encryption with associated data
  • Constant-time operations: Prevents timing attacks
  • Automatic zeroization: Sensitive data cleared from memory
  • Secure random: Cryptographically secure random number generation

Performance

Benchmarks on modern hardware:

  • Encryption (1KB): ~20 µs
  • Decryption (1KB): ~20 µs
  • Key derivation: ~100 ms (tuned for security)

Minimum Supported Rust Version

This crate requires Rust 1.75 or later.
