Project

• License: GNU Lesser General Public License, either version 3, or (at your option) any later version.
• This project follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0

Features

This project provides:

• Some hash functions from Keccak.
• Some cryptographic implementations: Chacha, Poly1305, Argon2…

Notes

• Currently only little-endian systems are supported. We don’t have access or knowledge to test on big-endian systems.
• Internal state stores data on u64. So it works best on systems supporting u64 natively.
• Accuracy/correctness is highest priority. Speed is second. Currently, it’s slower than well-known implementations, such as OpenSSL.
• Documentation is built with all features. Some of them are optional. If you see components from other crates, you can view source to see what features are required.
• Night Rust is required to build.
