Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) traits

This crate provides an abstract interface for AEAD ciphers, which guarantee both confidentiality and integrity, even from a powerful attacker who is able to execute chosen-ciphertext attacks. The resulting security property, ciphertext indistinguishability, is considered a basic requirement for modern cryptographic implementations.

See RustCrypto/AEADs for cipher implementations which use this trait.

Modules§

  • Type aliases for many constants.

Structs§

  • Error type.
  • A random number generator that retrieves randomness from the operating system.
  • AEAD payloads (message + AAD).

Traits§
