A pure Rust multi-provider digital signature library which provides a thread-safe and object-safe API.

Presently implements the Ed25519 elliptic curve public-key signature system described in RFC 8032 with software (ed25519-dalek) and hardware (yubihsm-rs) providers available.

About

Signatory exposes a thread-and-object-safe API for creating digital signatures which allows several signature providers to be compiled-in and available with specific providers selected at runtime.

Provider Support

cargo features are used to select which providers are compiled-in:

Ed25519 providers

• dalek-provider*: provider for the ed25519-dalek crate
• yubihsm-provider: provider for the yubihsm-rs crate supporting YubiHSM2 devices

* Enabled by default

YubiHSM2 Provider Notes

The yubihsm-rs crate depends on the aesni crate, which uses the new "stdsimd" API (which recently landed in nightly) to invoke hardware AES instructions via core::arch.

To access these features, you will need both a relatively recent Rust nightly and to pass the following as RUSTFLAGS:

RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-feature=+aes`

You can configure your ~/.cargo/config to always pass these flags:

[build]
rustflags = ["-Ctarget-feature=+aes"]
