This package provides Rust bindings for the functionality exposed by OpenSSL's libcrypto. Currently provided:

  • Hashes (hash.rs)
    • MD5
    • SHA-1
    • SHA-2 (224, 256, 384, 512)
  • Symmetric crypto (symm.rs)
    • AES in ECB or CBC mode, all key lengths
  • Keypair generation (pkey.rs)
    • RSA, all key lengths
  • Asymmetric encryption (pkey.rs)
    • RSA with PKCS #1 OAEP padding or PKCS #1 v1.5 padding
  • Digital signatures (pkey.rs)
    • RSA with PKCS #1 v1.5 padding and any supported hash

Each module provides two interfaces: a low-level API which wraps the OpenSSL interfaces as directly as possible and a high-level API which presents the OpenSSL API as a Rust object and tries to make sensible default choices about parameters most users won't care about. You probably want to use the high-level API. For documentation on these, see the individual source files.
