  • We build X.509 chains so you don't have to

    Congratulations to the authors, this was a feature that was dearly missing from pyca/cryptography. It took a long time to get right.

    For the history: https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/2381

  • “Our paying customers need X, when will you fix it?”

    Some context:

    - The cryptography dependency used by the current release of mitmproxy has a CVE related to an OpenSSL vulnerability (https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/security/advisories/GHS...)

    - The main branch of mitmproxy has already upgraded to the latest version of the cryptography package

    - The author of the package does not believe the CVE impacts users of mitmproxy so a release including this commit has not been made

  • Microservice memory profiling
    2 projects | /r/FastAPI | 28 May 2023
    first, I did see a correlation between an endpoint being heavily hit in a given time window, and an increase of memory usage that didn't went down afterwards. The endpoint didn't do much so I went through every instruction - is a global variable appended indefinitely ? Is a cache decorator growing without a limit set ? Do I use a 3rd party that has a known issue ? Turns out, it was using cryptography, so I looked up known issues. Saw an issue about a leak when using load_pem_x509_certificate https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/4833 - which I used ! I could fortunately just upgrade the library

  • I love building a startup in Rust. I wouldn't pick it again
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 17 Feb 2023
    > A big problem with Rust, long-term, is that the kind of programs that really need it are somewhat out of today's mainstream. It's not that useful for webcrap. It's not that useful for phone apps. The AI people use Jupyter notebooks and Python to drive code on GPUs.

    One thing this is missing is that Rust is useful for libraries callable by many different languages. You may or may not want to use it to build an actual Web app (I personally think it's a solid choice, but reasonable people can disagree). But for building, say, the Python cryptography library [1], which is used as a part of "webcrap" and Jupyter notebooks, Rust is clearly an excellent option. Nobody is going to build core Python infrastructure in Go or Node, and there will always be a need for plumbing libraries.

    Also, I see more and more examples where rust gets included in different technologies using FFI. Ie for python https://github.com/pyca/cryptography for security/performance critical pieces.

    You will be hard pressed to find a cryptography library that doesn't depend on openssl. Fortunately openssl bindings can be installed on Windows. One of the more popular libraries for python is cryptography, but it does depend on libssl.
