# Rust-Crypto
[](https://travis-ci.org/DaGenix/rust-crypto)
A (mostly) pure-Rust implementation of various common cryptographic algorithms.
Rust-Crypto seeks to create practical, auditable, pure-Rust implementations of common cryptographic
algorithms with a minimum amount of assembly code where appropriate. The x86-64, x86, and
ARM architectures are supported, although the x86-64 architecture receives the most testing.
Rust-Crypto tagets the current, stable build of the Rust language (currently 1.3).
If you are having issues while using an older version, please try upgrading to the latest stable
Rust version.
Rust-Crypto has not been thoroughly
audited for correctness, so any use where security is important is not recommended at this time.
## Usage
To use Rust-Crypto, add the following to your Cargo.toml:
```toml
[dependencies]
rust-crypto = "^0.2"
```
and the following to your crate root:
```rust
extern crate crypto;
```
## Contributions
Contributions are extremely welcome. The most significant needs are help
adding documentation, implementing new algorithms,
and general cleanup and improvement of the code. By submitting a pull request you are agreeing to
make you work available under the license
terms of the Rust-Crypto project.
## License
Rust-Crypto is dual licensed under the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses, the same licenses
as the Rust compiler.
## Algorithms
Rust-Crypto already supports a significant number of algorithms and with your help
it will support even more in the future. Currently supported algorithms include:
* AES
* Bcrypt
* Blake2B
* Blowfish
* ChaCha20
* Curve25519
* ECB, CBC, and CTR block cipher modes
* Ed25519
* Fortuna
* Ghash
* HC128
* HMAC
* MD5
* PBKDF2
* PKCS padding for CBC block cipher mode
* Poly1305
* RC4
* RIPEMD-160
* Salsa20 and XSalsa20
* Scrypt
* Sha1
* Sha2 (All fixed output size variants)
* Sosemanuk
* Whirlpool
