Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

quantacore-sdk = "1.0"

Quick Start

use quantacore::{initialize, cleanup, open_first_device, KemAlgorithm};

fn main() -> quantacore::Result<()> {
    // Initialize library
    initialize()?;

    // Open device
    let device = open_first_device()?;

    // Generate ML-KEM-768 key pair
    let kem = device.kem();
    let keypair = kem.generate_keypair(KemAlgorithm::MlKem768)?;

    // Encapsulate (sender side)
    let (ciphertext, shared_secret) = kem.encapsulate(
        keypair.public_key(),
        KemAlgorithm::MlKem768
    )?;

    // Decapsulate (receiver side)
    let decap_secret = kem.decapsulate(
        keypair.secret_key(),
        &ciphertext,
        KemAlgorithm::MlKem768
    )?;

    assert_eq!(shared_secret, decap_secret);

    // Cleanup
    drop(device);
    cleanup()?;

    Ok(())
}

Examples

Key Exchange (ML-KEM)

use quantacore::{initialize, cleanup, open_first_device};

fn main() -> quantacore::Result<()> {
    initialize()?;
    let device = open_first_device()?;
    let kem = device.kem();

    // Generate key pair (convenience method for ML-KEM-768)
    let keypair = kem.generate_keypair_768()?;

    // Encapsulate
    let (ciphertext, sender_secret) = kem.encapsulate_768(keypair.public_key())?;

    // Decapsulate
    let receiver_secret = kem.decapsulate_768(keypair.secret_key(), &ciphertext)?;

    assert_eq!(sender_secret, receiver_secret);
    cleanup()?;
    Ok(())
}

Digital Signatures (ML-DSA)

use quantacore::{initialize, cleanup, open_first_device, SignAlgorithm};

fn main() -> quantacore::Result<()> {
    initialize()?;
    let device = open_first_device()?;
    let sign = device.sign();

    // Generate key pair
    let keypair = sign.generate_keypair(SignAlgorithm::MlDsa65)?;

    // Sign message
    let message = b"Hello, quantum world!";
    let signature = sign.sign(keypair.secret_key(), message, SignAlgorithm::MlDsa65)?;

    // Verify signature
    let valid = sign.verify(
        keypair.public_key(),
        message,
        &signature,
        SignAlgorithm::MlDsa65
    )?;
    assert!(valid);

    cleanup()?;
    Ok(())
}

Hashing

use quantacore::{initialize, cleanup, open_first_device, HashAlgorithm};

fn main() -> quantacore::Result<()> {
    initialize()?;
    let device = open_first_device()?;
    let hash = device.hash();

    // One-shot hashing
    let digest = hash.sha256(b"Hello, World!")?;
    println!("SHA-256: {}", hex::encode(&digest));

    // Incremental hashing
    let mut ctx = hash.create_context(HashAlgorithm::Sha3_256)?;
    ctx.update(b"Hello, ")?;
    ctx.update(b"World!")?;
    let digest = ctx.finalize()?;

    // HMAC
    let mac = hash.hmac_sha256(b"secret key", b"message")?;

    // HKDF key derivation
    let derived = hash.hkdf_sha256(b"ikm", b"salt", b"info", 32)?;

    cleanup()?;
    Ok(())
}

Random Number Generation (QRNG)

use quantacore::{initialize, cleanup, open_first_device};

fn main() -> quantacore::Result<()> {
    initialize()?;
    let device = open_first_device()?;
    let random = device.random();

    // Generate random bytes
    let bytes = random.bytes(32)?;

    // Generate integers
    let value = random.next_u64()?;
    let dice = random.randint(1, 6)?;

    // Generate UUID
    let uuid = random.uuid()?;
    println!("UUID: {}", uuid);

    // Shuffle a collection
    let mut items = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    random.shuffle(&mut items)?;

    cleanup()?;
    Ok(())
}

HSM Key Storage

use quantacore::{initialize, cleanup, open_first_device, KeyType, KeyUsage};

fn main() -> quantacore::Result<()> {
    initialize()?;
    let device = open_first_device()?;
    let keys = device.keys();

    // Store a key
    let key_data = vec![0u8; 32];
    keys.store(
        0,  // slot
        KeyType::Secret,
        0,  // algorithm
        KeyUsage::ENCRYPT | KeyUsage::DECRYPT,
        "my-key",
        &key_data,
    )?;

    // Load the key
    let loaded = keys.load(0)?;
    assert_eq!(loaded, key_data);

    // Get key info
    let info = keys.get_info(0)?;
    println!("Key label: {}", info.label);

    // Delete the key
    keys.delete(0)?;

    cleanup()?;
    Ok(())
}

RAII Pattern

Use LibraryContext for automatic cleanup:

use quantacore::{LibraryContext, open_first_device};

fn main() -> quantacore::Result<()> {
    let _ctx = LibraryContext::new()?;  // Auto-cleanup on drop
    
    let device = open_first_device()?;
    // ... use device ...
    
    Ok(())  // Library cleaned up automatically
}

Environment Variables

Feature Flags

Thread Safety

The Device struct is Send and Sync, allowing it to be shared across threads safely. The underlying hardware operations are serialized by the device driver.

Memory Safety

• All secret keys are automatically zeroed when dropped using the zeroize crate
• Constant-time operations for cryptographic comparisons
• Safe Rust wrappers around unsafe FFI calls
