purecrypto 0.1.0

A pure-Rust cryptography toolkit with no foreign-code dependencies, from constant-time primitives up to keys, X.509 and TLS.
Documentation
//! Random number generation.
//!
//! [`RngCore`] is the byte-source interface; [`CryptoRng`] marks generators
//! that are cryptographically secure. [`HmacDrbg`] is a deterministic
//! SP 800-90A generator built on our HMAC, and (with `std`) [`OsRng`] draws
//! directly from the operating system's entropy pool — `/dev/urandom` on Unix,
//! `ProcessPrng` on Windows.
