subtle-encoding 0.2.3

Encoders and decoders for common data encodings (base64, hex) which avoid data-dependent branching/table lookups and therefore provide "best effort" constant time. Useful for encoding/decoding secret values such as cryptographic keys.

Crate Docs Apache 2.0/MIT Licensed Build Status

Rust crate for encoding/decoding binary data to/from base64 and hex encodings while avoiding data-dependent branching/table lookups, and therefore providing "best effort" constant-time operation.

Useful for encoding/decoding secret values such as cryptographic keys.

Security Notice

While this crate takes care to avoid data-dependent branching, that does not actually make it "constant time", which is an architecture-dependent property.

This crate is a "best effort" attempt at providing a constant time encoding library, however it presently provides no guarantees, nor has it been independently audited for security vulnerabilities.

Use at your own risk.
