[−][src]Crate exonum_sodiumoxide
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.
