[Docs badge]: https://img.shields.io/badge/docs.rs-rustdoc-green
[docs.rs]: https://docs.rs/prio/
Pure Rust implementation of [Prio](https://crypto.stanford.edu/prio/), a system for Private, Robust,
and Scalable Computation of Aggregate Statistics.
## Exposure Notifications Private Analytics
This crate was used in the [Exposure Notifications Private Analytics][enpa]
system. This is referred to in various places as Prio v2. See
[`prio-server`][prio-server] or the [ENPA whitepaper][enpa-whitepaper] for more
details.
## Verifiable Distributed Aggregation Function
This crate also implements a [Verifiable Distributed Aggregation Function
(VDAF)][vdaf] called "Prio3", implemented in the `vdaf` module, allowing Prio to
be used in the [Distributed Aggregation Protocol][dap] protocol being developed
in the PPM working group at the IETF. This support is still evolving along with
the DAP and VDAF specifications.
### Draft versions and release branches
The `main` branch is under continuous development and will usually be partway between VDAF drafts.
libprio uses stable release branches to maintain implementations of different VDAF draft versions.
Crate `prio` version `x.y.z` is released from a corresponding `release/x.y` branch. We try to
maintain [Rust SemVer][semver] compatibility, meaning that API breaks only happen on minor version
increases (e.g., 0.10 to 0.11).

## Cargo Features
This crate defines the following feature flags:
|`crypto-dependencies`|Yes|Enables dependencies on various RustCrypto crates, and uses them to implement `XofTurboShake128` to support VDAFs.|✅|
|`experimental`|No|Certain experimental APIs are guarded by this feature.|❌|
|`multithreaded`|No|Enables certain Prio3 VDAF implementations that use `rayon` for parallelization of gadget evaluations.|✅|
|`test-util`|No|Enables test utilities for VDAF users and VDAF implementers.|❌|
|`wasm-compat`|No|Enables the `getrandom/js` feature. This is necessary for `wasm32-unknown-unknown` targets, when in a JavaScript environment.|✅|
Features that are not marked as "Semver stable" may undergo breaking changes in future patch releases, as an exception to semantic versioning.
