rainbow

This (implementation of an) cryptographic algorithm is insecure.
This crate will only compile if you enable the "cryptographically-insecure" feature.

Only use this crate and algorithm for research and educational purposes.

This crate contains bindings to the C implementations of the following schemes, from PQClean.

This project packages Post-Quantum cryptographic algorithms that participate in the NIST PQC standardization effort. It is currently a collection of wrappers around C implementations from the PQClean project.

Serialization

If you want serde support, enable the serialization feature.

Included implementations from PQClean

Below is a list of the included schemes and the corresponding implementations sourced from PQClean. The "default" implementation is used in the Rust-friendly interface, alternative implementations are exposed as ffi methods only.

• rainbowI-circumzenithal
  • clean
• rainbowI-classic
  • clean
• rainbowI-compressed
  • clean
• rainbowIII-circumzenithal
  • clean
• rainbowIII-classic
  • clean
• rainbowIII-compressed
  • clean
• rainbowV-circumzenithal
  • clean
• rainbowV-classic
  • clean
• rainbowV-compressed
  • clean

Notes

This implementation requires a lot of stack space. You need to specify RUST_MIN_STACK=800000000, probably.

Rainbow does no longer get the claimed security, see https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/214.pdf
