Connection Layer Codec for Datagram Transports

Overview

This Rust library provides a codec layer over datagrams (typically over UDP) to assign connection IDs (u8) and use a Murmur3 hash to verify incoming datagrams. It enables you to implement connection-oriented communication over a connectionless transports, allowing for simple connection management and data integrity verification.

Features

• Connection Management: Assigns unique connection IDs to clients, enabling the host to manage multiple connections.
• Data Integrity: Uses Murmur3 hashing with a seed to verify the integrity of incoming datagrams.
• Simple API: Provides easy-to-use encoders and decoders for both host and client sides.

Security Considerations

[!IMPORTANT] The connections established using this codec are, by design, not secure. Data is transmitted in plain text and can be intercepted or modified by attackers. There is no protection against eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, or other network-based threats.

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
connection-layer = "0.0.1"
