Code review of the aesni crate // Lib.rs

RUSTSEC-2021-0059 (unmaintained) on 2021-04-29: aesni has been merged into the aes crate

Please use the aes crate going forward. The new repository location is at:

https://github.com/RustCrypto/block-ciphers/tree/master/aes

AES-NI is now autodetected at runtime on i686/x86-64 platforms. If AES-NI is not present, the aes crate will fallback to a constant-time portable software implementation.

To prevent this fallback (and have absence of AES-NI result in an illegal instruction crash instead), continue to pass the same RUSTFLAGS which were previously required for the aesni crate to compile:

RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-feature=+aes,+ssse3

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories. There is absolutely no guarantee that the repository URL declared by the crate belongs to the crate, or that the code in the repository is the code inside the published tarball.

To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open aesni. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of aesni v0.99.99 or view the source online.
