A brief guide to choosing TLS crates

• rustls

  57 5,437 9.9 Rust

  A modern TLS library in Rust

  

Now for rust implementation of tls. Certificates can be loaded in two ways. * Finds and loads certificates using OS specific tools3 * Uses a rust implementation of webpki4 for loading with certificates5

• rustls-native-certs

  2 169 7.7 Rust

  Integration with OS certificate stores for rustls

  

Now for rust implementation of tls. Certificates can be loaded in two ways. * Finds and loads certificates using OS specific tools3 * Uses a rust implementation of webpki4 for loading with certificates5

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  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.

  

• webpki

  1 79 9.4 Rust

  WebPKI X.509 Certificate Validation in Rust (by rustls)

  

Now for rust implementation of tls. Certificates can be loaded in two ways. * Finds and loads certificates using OS specific tools3 * Uses a rust implementation of webpki4 for loading with certificates5

• tokio-rustls

  1 85 7.9 Rust

  Async TLS for the Tokio runtime

  

Now to build an async client using tokio. We need the tokio implementations for tls - * tokio-native-tls - https://crates.io/crates/tokio-native-tls * tokio-rustls - https://github.com/rustls/tokio-rustls. The certificates can be loaded using either webpki or native-certs crate.

• ring

  28 3,560 9.8 Assembly

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

Note also that rustls depends on ring, which has architecture-dependent code in it that is not as widely compatible as eg. OpenSSL/GnuTLS/Mbed-TLS. For example, MIPS is not supported by ring.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
