This is a relatively barebones, `no_std` implementation of the [Strobe protocol framework][strobe] in pure Rust. It is intended to be used as a library to build other protocols and frameworks. This implementation currently only supports Keccak-f\[1600\] as the internal permutation function, which is the largest possible block size, so big deal.

Example
-------

A simple [program](examples/basic.rs) that encrypts and decrypts a message:

```rust
use strobe_rs::{SecParam, Strobe};

fn main() {
    let mut rx = Strobe::new(b"correctnesstest", SecParam::B256);
    let mut tx = Strobe::new(b"correctnesstest", SecParam::B256);

    rx.key(b"the-combination-on-my-luggage", false);
    tx.key(b"the-combination-on-my-luggage", false);

    let mut msg = b"Attack at dawn".to_vec();
    rx.send_enc(msg.as_mut_slice(), false);

    // Rename for clarity. `msg` has been encrypted in-place.
    let mut ciphertext = msg;

    tx.recv_enc(ciphertext.as_mut_slice(), false);

    // And back again.
    let round_trip_msg = ciphertext;

    assert_eq!(&round_trip_msg, b"Attack at dawn");
}
```

Features
--------

Default features flags: [none]

Feature flag list:

* `std` - Necessary for running known-answer tests. No need to enable unless you're debugging this crate.

For info on how to omit or include feature flags, see the [cargo docs on features](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html#choosing-features).

Tests
-----

To run tests, execute `cargo test`. This includes known-answer tests, which test against JSON-encoded test vectors in the [kat/](kat/) directory. To verify these test vectors against the reference Python implementation, `cd` into `kat/`, run `python2 kat/verify_test_vector.py` and follow the included instructions.

Benchmarks
----------

Since benchmarks are still not stable, run `cargo +nightly bench`.

TODO
----

* Contribute an asm impelmentation of Keccak-f\[1600\] to tiny-keccak and expose a feature flag that lets `strobe-rs` users choose which implementation they prefer.
* Put more asserts in the code like the Python implementation does. Not sure if this is a great idea though
