Macaroons for Rust
Macaroons Are Better Than Cookies!
Macaroons are a bearer credential format built around "caveats", i.e. conditions that must hold for a particular credential to be authorized. Using neat crypto tricks, anyone holding a Macaroon can add more caveats to a Macaroon, but once caveats are added they cannot be removed.
Is it any good?
Is it "Production Ready™"?
No. This library only implements part of the Macaroons token format, and the API is changing rapidly.
The following features have been implemented:
- Creating Macaroons
- First-party caveats
- Serializing to base64url-encoded binary format
- Deserializing base64url-encoded Macaroons
The following features need to be implemented for this library to be useful:
- Verifying Macaroons
- Third-party caveats
