Vitamin C

Vitamin C is like vitamins for your Rust code, especially code dealing with cryptography and managing sensitive data. It is actually a suite of crates that you can use individually or via this top-level crate via features.

Vitamin C is in active development and aims to address the following:

• Misuse Resistance: it aims to make it difficult to write code that is insecure.

• Verified: be verified using formal methods and testing and selects dependencies that are verified.

• Vetted: be vetted by security experts and selects dependencies that are vetted.

• Minimal: be minimal and only include what is necessary.

• Consistent: have a consistent interface with everything in one place.

• Compatible: support embedded (no_std) and WASM targets.

• Fast: speed and security can be friends!

Usage

You can install the top-level vitaminc crate and enable specific features:

cargo add vitaminc --features protected,random

Or, if you only need a specific capability, you can install a crate directly:

cargo add vitaminc-protected

Testing

Prerequisites:

• localstack is installed

To run the tests:

• Start localstack (typically done by running localstack start from the shell)
• cargo test
