- Crypto from [Rust Crypto][rust-crypto]
- Use your own sockets, spawn your own tasks
- Uses [Tokio][tokio] interfaces (but does not depend on the Tokio runtime)
- Rust all the way down: no dependency on non-Rust libraries, direct or indirect

## Low-level
Makiko gives you a lot of control over the SSH connection, it is meant to be a building block for libraries and advanced applications.
{: .warning }
Makiko and most of the cryptography crates from [Rust Crypto][rust-crypto] that Makiko uses have not yet been audited by a trusted third party. Use at your own risk!
