Crate pkcs5 

RustCrypto: PKCS#5

Pure Rust implementation of Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #5: Password-Based Cryptography Specification Version 2.1 (RFC 8018).

Documentation

About

PKCS#5 is a standard for deriving cryptographic keys from a password using a variety of supported algorithms, and then encrypting/decrypting data (e.g. PKCS#8 private keys) using that derived key.

This crate supports deriving keys from passwords using either the scrypt or pbkdf2 algorithms.

Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) Policy

MSRV increases are not considered breaking changes and can happen in patch releases.

The crate MSRV accounts for all supported targets and crate feature combinations, excluding explicitly unstable features.

Usage

The main API for this crate is the EncryptionScheme enum, which impls the Decode and Encode traits from the der crate, and can be used for decoding/encoding PKCS#5 AlgorithmIdentifier fields.

The pbes2::Parameters struct can be used to generate new encryption parameters when encrypting new keys.

Re-exports

pub use der;
