NaCl (pronounced "salt") is a new easy-to-use high-speed software library for network communication, encryption, decryption, signatures, etc. NaCl's goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to build higher-level cryptographic tools. Of course, other libraries already exist for these core operations. NaCl advances the state of the art by improving security, by improving usability, and by improving speed.
Sodium is a portable, cross-compilable, installable, packageable fork of NaCl (based on the latest released upstream version nacl-20110221), with a compatible API.
This package aims to provide a type-safe and efficient Rust binding that's just as easy to use. Rust >= 1.36.0 is required because of mem::MaybeUninit.
Basic usage
Building
cargo build
Testing
cargo test
Documentation
cargo doc
Documentation will be generated in target/doc/...
Most documentation is taken from NaCl, with minor modification where the API differs between the C and Rust versions.
Dependencies
C compiler (cc
, clang
, ...) must be installed in order to build libsodium from source.
Extended usage
This project downloads and builds libsodium by default, favouring a statically-built, fixed version of the native library.
Although it is highly recommended to use the default way with the pinned version, there are several ways you may want to use this crate:
- link it against the library installed on your system
- link it against a precompiled library that you built on your own
You can do this by setting environment variables.
Name | Description | Example value | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
SODIUM_LIB_DIR |
Where to find a precompiled library | /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ |
The value should be set to the directory containing .so ,.a ,.la ,.dll or .lib |
SODIUM_SHARED |
Tell rustc to link the library dynamically |
1 |
Works only with SODIUM_LIB_DIR . We check only the presence |
SODIUM_USE_PKG_CONFIG |
Tell build.rs to find system library using pkg-config or vcpkg | 1 |
We check only the presence |
SODIUM_DISABLE_PIE |
Build with --disable-pie |
1 |
Certain situations may require building libsodium configured with --disable-pie . Useful for !Windows only and when building libsodium from source. We check only the presence |
VCPKGRS_DYNAMIC |
Tell vcpkg to find libsodium |
1 |
Usefull for Windows only with SODIUM_USE_PKG_CONFIG . More info: https://docs.rs/vcpkg/ |
Examples on *nix
Using pkg-config
(Ubuntu: apt install pkg-config
, OSX: brew install pkg-config
, ...)
export SODIUM_USE_PKG_CONFIG=1
cargo build
Using precompiled library
See https://download.libsodium.org/doc/installation.
export SODIUM_LIB_DIR=/home/user/libsodium-1.0.18/release/lib/
export SODIUM_SHARED=1
cargo build
Examples on Windows
Using vcpkg
See https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.
C:\Users\user\dev\vcpkg\vcpkg.exe install libsodium --triplet x64-windows
set SODIUM_USE_PKG_CONFIG=1
set VCPKGRS_DYNAMIC=1
cargo build
Optional features
Several optional features are available:
-
std
(default: enabled). When this feature is disabled, sodiumoxide builds using#![no_std]
. Some functionality may be lost. Requires a nightly build of Rust. -
serde
(default: enabled). Allows serialization and deserialization of keys, authentication tags, etc. using the serde library. -
benchmarks
(default: disabled). Compile benchmark tests. Requires a nightly build of Rust.
