About
orion is a cryptography library written in pure Rust. It aims to provide easy and usable crypto while trying to minimize the use of unsafe code. You can read more about orion in the wiki.
Currently supports:
- AEAD: (X)ChaCha20Poly1305.
- Stream ciphers: (X)ChaCha20.
- KDF: HKDF-HMAC-SHA512, PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512, Argon2i.
- MAC: HMAC-SHA512, Poly1305.
- Hashing: BLAKE2b, SHA512.
Security
This library has not undergone any third-party security audit. Usage is at own risk.
More information about security regarding orion is available in the wiki.
Minimum Supported Rust Version
Rust 1.41 or later is supported however, the majority of testing happens with latest stable Rust.
MSRV may be changed at any point and will not be considered a SemVer breaking change.
Crate Features
By default orion targets stable Rust with std. To use orion in a no_std context, you need to specify the dependency as such:
orion = { version = "*", default-features = false }
# Replace * with the most recent version
When orion is used in a no_std context, the high-level API is not available, since it relies on access to the systems random number generator.
Argon2i is not available with no_std by default, but can be by enabling the alloc feature:
[dependencies.orion]
version = "*" # Replace * with the most recent version
default-features = false
features = ["alloc"]
Documentation
Can be viewed here or built with:
cargo doc --no-deps
Tests and Fuzzing
The wiki has details on how orion is tested. To run all tests:
cargo test
Fuzzing is done using honggfuzz-rs in orion-fuzz. See orion-fuzz on how to start fuzzing orion.
Constant-time execution tests can be found at orion-dudect and orion-sidefuzz.
