Crate for AES256 - which one to choose? Questions about block cipher modes and AEAD too.

• block-ciphers

  7 641 7.3 Rust

  Collection of block cipher algorithms written in pure Rust

  

aes (GitHub: RustCrypto / block-ciphers / aes) good: still maintained as of now - last commit on GitHub is from October 2021 good: examples look easy to use good: has received an audit by NCC Group bad: seems a bit too low level - the example provided only shows usage with data that is exactly block sized - seems there is no padding handling for real world use cases

• rust-crypto

  2 1,357 0.0 Rust

  A (mostly) pure-Rust implementation of various cryptographic algorithms.

rust-crypto (GitHub: DaGenix / rust-crypto) good: support for different algorithms I wanna use for enrypting hashing (the latter is for another project) good: seems easy to use according to the example bad: no audit yet bad: don't know if still maintained, last commit on GitHub is from September 2016

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• ring

  28 3,602 9.7 Assembly

  Safe, fast, small crypto using Rust (by briansmith)

ring (GitHub: briansmith / ring) good: praised by many and used in other big crates good: still maintained as of now - last commit on GitHub is from October 2021 bad: no audit yet - at least I couldn't find any statement bad: I have absolutely no clue how to use this, can't find any examples on the GitHub readme and nothing in the source tree that would give it away

• RustCrypto

  10 654 7.4 Rust

  Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data Algorithms: high-level encryption ciphers

  

Use RustCrypto's aes with one of its block modes (https://docs.rs/block-modes/latest/block_modes/) or AEAD algorithms (https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs). There's a lot of modular stuff in RustCrypto, just need to browse a little 😉.

• rustls

  57 5,593 9.9 Rust

  A modern TLS library in Rust

  

• consul-template

  29 4,730 9.2 Go

  Template rendering, notifier, and supervisor for @HashiCorp Consul and Vault data.

  

I would really suggest avoiding implementing your own stuff and either running Hashicorp Vault or seeing if your hosting provider has some secrets manager service.

• paddingoracle

  2 5 10.0 Ruby

  Ruby framework for exploiting padding oracle vulnerabilities

• SaaSHub

  www.saashub.com featured

  SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives

  

• utils

  8 413 8.8 Rust

  Utility crates used in RustCrypto

  

I have seen that RustCrypto also offers a create for securely zeroing memory with: zeroize

• RCIG_Coordination_Repo

  18 243 3.5 HTML

  A Coordination repo for all things Rust Cryptography oriented
