boring2/README.md

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-128 or AES-256 in ECB or CBC mode
  • RC4-128
• 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.
