Crate cryptography

Facade crate for RustCrypto Traits, providing a single place to access compatible versions of all traits from the Rust Crypto project.

About

The RustCrypto Project publishes and maintains independently versioned crates containing traits for many different kinds of cryptographic algorithms.

However, these algorithms are often interdependent (e.g. many depend on digest algorithms), which requires figuring out which versions of the trait crates are compatible with each other.

This crate will automatically pull in compatible versions of these crates, with each one gated under a cargo feature, providing a single place to both import and upgrade these crates while ensuring they remain compatible.

Traits

The following traits are available as re-exports of RustCrypto crates through this crate's facade. To access a particular re-export you (or a crate you depend on) must enable the associated Cargo feature named below.

Re-export	Cargo feature	Description
aead	aead	Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (i.e. high-level symmetric encryption)
cipher	cipher	Block and stream ciphers (i.e. low-level symmetric encryption)
digest	digest	Cryptographic hash functions
elliptic_curve	elliptic-curve	Elliptic curve cryptography
mac	mac	Message Authentication Codes (i.e. symmetric message authentication)
signature	signature	Digital signatures (i.e. public key-based message authentication)
universal_hash	universal‑hash	Universal Hash Functions (used to build MACs)
