Crate dexios_core

What is it?

Dexios-Core is a library used for managing cryptographic functions and headers that adhere to the Dexios format.

Security

Dexios-Core uses modern, secure and audited¹ AEADs for encryption and decryption.

You may find the audits for both AES-256-GCM and XChaCha20-Poly1305 on the NCC Group’s website.

¹ Deoxys-II-256 does not have an official audit, so use it at your own risk

Who uses Dexios-Core?

This library is implemented by Dexios, a secure command-line file encryption utility.

Dexios-Core makes it easy to integrate the Dexios format into your own projects (and if there’s a feature that you’d like to see, please don’t hesitate to open a Github issue).

You can read more about Dexios, Dexios-Core and the technical details in the project’s main documentation!

Thank you!

Dexios-Core exclusively uses AEADs provided by the RustCrypto Team, so I’d like to give them a huge thank you for their hard work (this wouldn’t have been possible without them!)

Modules
