Crate sodiumoxide [−] [src]
Rust bindings to the sodium library.
Sodium is a portable implementation of Dan Bernsteins NaCl: Networking and Cryptography library
For most users, if you want public-key (asymmetric) cryptography you should use
the functions in crypto::box_ for encryption/decryption.
If you want secret-key (symmetric) cryptography you should be using the
functions in crypto::secretbox for encryption/decryption.
For public-key signatures you should use the functions in crypto::sign for
signature creation and verification.
Unless you know what you're doing you most certainly don't want to use the
functions in crypto::scalarmult, crypto::stream, crypto::auth and
crypto::onetimeauth.
Thread Safety
All functions in this library are thread-safe provided that the init()
function has been called during program execution.
If init() hasn't been called then all functions except the random-number
generation functions and the key-generation functions are thread-safe.
