  • Looking for good (low level?) Elliptic Curve library
    4 projects | /r/rust | 29 May 2022
    Much of what you'll find highly visibly will be high-level libraries, but look at their dependencies. For example, from the ed25519 library you may find ed25519-dalek, and from there you could find curve25519-dalek which deals in point encodings and that like. (I don't know these particular libraries; they might help or just serve as an example of a viable exploration path).

  • What are the scenarios where "Rewrite it in Rust" didn't meet your expectations or couldn't be successfully implemented?
    16 projects | /r/rust | 9 Jun 2023
    I also studied this question on FFI several weeks ago in terms of "rewrite part of the system in Rust". Unexpected results could be semantic issues (e.g., different error handling methods) or security issues (FFI could be a soundness hole). I suggest going through the issues of libraries that have started rewriting work such as rust-openssl or rustls (This is the one trying to rewrite in whole rust rather than using FFI; however, you will not be able to find the mapping function in the C version and compare them). I hope this helps!
