Expand description
§What is it?
volaris-crypto is a library used for managing cryptographic functions and headers that adhere to the Volaris format.
§Security
volaris-crypto 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 volaris-crypto?
This library is implemented by Volaris, a secure multi-interface file encryption utility.
volaris-crypto makes it easy to integrate the Volaris 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 Volaris, volaris-crypto and the technical details in the project’s main documentation!
§Thank you!
volaris-crypto 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§
