Rust Cryptographic Primitives

github crates.io docs.rs

This repository contains a collection of cryptographic primitives implemented in Rust. The goal is to provide a comprehensive set of cryptographic primitives that are easy to use and hard to misuse.

This crate was done as a personal project to learn Rust and cryptography, implementing some of the algorithms I learned in the "Secure and Dependable Systems" course at my university. The code is open source and I am happy to receive contributions and feedback. Feel free to open an issue or a pull request on this repository.

If this crate is useful to you, please consider giving it a star on GitHub :)

Features

The crate currently provides the following cryptographic primitives, with an encryption and decryption function for each:

  • Rail Fence Cipher
  • Route Cipher
  • Feistel Network
  • Substitution-Permutation Network (SPN)
  • Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

The helpers module provides the following helper functions for cryptographic algorithms:

  • rotl8
  • initialize_aes_sbox
  • permute
  • feistel_round_function
  • kdf
  • gmix_column
  • gmix_column_inv
  • xor_bytes

The constants module provides some useful constants for cryptographic algorithms, such as:

  • a sample S-Box
  • a sample P-Box
  • MIX_COLUMNS_LOOKUP_2, MIX_COLUMNS_LOOKUP_3, MIX_COLUMNS_LOOKUP_9, MIX_COLUMNS_LOOKUP_11, MIX_COLUMNS_LOOKUP_13, MIX_COLUMNS_LOOKUP_14 lookup tables for the AES MixColumns operation

The block_cipher module provides the following block cipher modes of operation, with an encryption and decryption function for each:

  • Electronic Codebook (ECB) mode
  • Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode
  • Counter (CTR) mode
  • Output Feedback (OFB) mode

For any suggestions or requests, feel free to open an issue on this repository.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
cryptographic_primitives = "0.2.0"

You can also use cargo to add the dependency to your Cargo.toml:

cargo add cryptographic_primitives

Then, simply import the crate and use the cryptographic primitives:

use cryptographic_primitives::*;

Example

Here is an example of using the aes_128_encrypt and aes_128_decrypt functions to encrypt and decrypt a plaintext using the Electronic Codebook (ECB) mode of operation:

use cryptographic_primitives::{aes_128_decrypt, aes_128_encrypt};
use cryptographic_primitives::block_ciphers::{ecb_encrypt, ecb_decrypt};

let plaintext = b"Hello, World!";
let key = 0x2b7e151628aed2a6abf7158809cf4f3c;

let encrypted = ecb_encrypt(plaintext, key, aes_128_encrypt).unwrap();
let decrypted = ecb_decrypt(&encrypted, key, aes_128_decrypt).unwrap();

assert_eq!(decrypted, plaintext);
