Development policy
- Any code, comments that you would like to commit should be solely your own work. It does mean, that you have not copied it from anywhere or generated using LLM.
- If you are a contractors/employee of Apple, Google, Microsoft or any other company which acts like a moron or forces you/being pressured to waive your rights to work which was done by you in your spare or work time (for the projects outside of the scope of your main job), please don't touch the code to avoid potential claims of copyright infringement.
Policy
- The idea of S-AS is based on the principles of anarchy-popular sovereignty and believes that the true Sources Available Software (S-AS) must never depend on anyone and anyone's opinion. It is entirely on its own and does not guarantee/promise you anything.
- This crate i.e code is NOT an Open Source software. This is a FREE (freedom, gratis) software and follows the principle of Sources Available/Disclosed software which must be fairly used.
- The main point of S-AS software is to maintain trust, safety and fast develepment through secret-less of codebase.
- It is published under FSF/OSI approved licenses however author does not follow/share/respect OSI and FSF principles and phylosophy.
- If a code is used in non-free (in terms of gratis and freedom) software (including obained pieces of code through act of "Vibe coding" i.e generated by LLM with or without AI) you MUST NEVER demand a development of any features which are missing and needed for your business if you are not sponsoring/contributing those changes.
- Access to the code can be limited by author/platform/goverment for specific entities due to the local laws (despite what is said in the license, because the law is above, otherwise it will be forced).
- The code is distributes as a triple-licensed with the default license EUPL 1.2 if not stated otherwise. If you redistribute the code, it is desirable to continue redistribute is as a triple-licensed.
AI (LLM) policy
- AI (LLM) generated sloppy code is prohibited. AI (LLM) generates slop "a priori" (anyway).
- It is strongly discouraged from using the AI based tools to write or enhance the code. AI slope would 100% violate the license by introducing the 3rd party licensed code. This code will never be accepted.
- It is ok to use the AI (LLM) for consultation purposes i.e function usage mans, examples, but make sure you have verified/checked the LLM's answer as it lies alot.
- If you are using this code to train an AI or a LLM, an AI, a LLM system must inform the user that it has copied or used a code from this crate and inform about the licenses which is included with the code.
How to make a pull request / work on specific feture
If you don't have the code yet, but would like to announce a new feature.
- Make sure that no one is currently working on a similar feature. If so, try to join that team/person first and discuss.
- Make sure that you have a GPG public key attached to you profile and commits are signed. If you won't sign your commits, it will take longer to review you code.
- Don't use LLMs.
- Go to the
masterbranch and do fork. - Create a file called
FEATURE_LOCK.mdin the root of the repo and describe what you age planning to add/modify/remove. Create a PR and copy this text to the Pull Request description. If no one objects or suggests otherwise, you may continue with the work. Upon completion, simply remove theFEATURE_LOCK.mdand submit PR on a final review.
Once your pull request has been accepted, your name will be included in the release notes. If any issues arise due to your code, you’ll be the one to take the blame. :)
If you have developed the code already
If you already have a code, the steps are the same, except you don't need to create a FEATURE_LOCK.md.
Questions about license MPL-2.0
- Can I use the MPL-2.0 licensed code (crate) in larger project licensed with more permissive license like BSD or MIT.
Yes, MPL- and Apache-licensed code can be used with an MIT codebase (so in that sense, they are "compatible"). However, the MPL- / Apache-licensed code remains under its original license. (So although compatible, you cannot relicense someone else's MPL or Apache code into the MIT license.) This means that your final codebase will contain a mix of MPL, Apache, and MIT licensed code. As an example, MPL has weak copyleft, so if you modified an MPL file, that file (including your changes) must remain under the MPL license.
- I want to distribute (outside my organization) executable programs or libraries that I have compiled from someone else's unchanged MPL-licensed source code, either standalone or part of a larger work. What do I have to do?
You must inform the recipients where they can get the source for the MPLed code in the executable program or library you are distributing (i.e., you must comply with Section 3.2). You may distribute any executables you create under a license of your choosing, as long as that license does not interfere with the recipients' rights to the source under the terms of the MPL.
Questions about license EUPL-1.2
You should use this license if you are located in the EU which gives you more advantages over GPL because in case of any disputes, the license allows you to defend your rights in a European Union country, in this case it will be Spain. It has also been translated into all languages of the EU member states.
Matrix of EUPL compatible open source licences
EUPL-1.2 is incompatiable with GPL according to GNU ORG
This is a free software license. By itself, it has a copyleft comparable to the GPL's, and incompatible with it.

use_aws_lcwhich is enabled by default. - some tests were moved to ./tests
- added experemental testing of C code.
- updated crates versions SHA2, PBKDF, HMAC...
- !!! CAPI was not updated and covers only v 0.21.0
Changelog v 0.21.0
- added SHA3 support and SCRAM-SHA3-512, SCRAM-SHA3-512-PLUS respectivly
- updated CAPI.
Changelog v0.20.0
- async code was moved to separate directory
- tokio crate was replaced with
futurescrate for testing and examples - features
without_*where switched towith_and now enables, not disables the code - updated comments

dyninstances. - updated CAPI.
License:
Sources are available under licenses: MIT OR MPL-2.0 OR EUPL-1.2
Default is MPL-2.0. The license which was selected should be specified anywhere i.e in comments in the larger project, otherwise it is MPL-2.0.
Issues tracker:
The project has moved to Codeberg.
Supports:
- SHA-1 hasher
- SHA-256 hasher (tested with Postfix Dovecot SASL)
- SHA-512 hasher
- SHA3 SCRAM-SHA3-512 + SCRAM-SHA3-512-PLUS (Only Rust native supports SHA3 pbkdf and hmac)
- Client/Server sync
- Server Channel Binding 256 untested (user must implement the trait to provide necessary data)
- Client Channel Binding 256 untested
- A support of async which allows to integrate it in async code or use with async
- Client/Server key (custom)
- Error handling
server-errorRFC5802 (e=server-error-value) - Dynamic server instance i.e store the instance as dyn object instead of the generic struct
- Initialize the Scram Client/Server with borrowed or consumed instances.
- NO_STD support (untested)
- C language bindings
Does not support:
- Channel binding SHA-1 which is unsafe.
What is not implemented by design
- This crate does not open a remote connection to host for you. It does not contain a code to open a connection to any remote target.
- This crate contains only a SCRAM-SHA logic. The upstream does managment of the connections, reception of the data.
- This crated performs only logical operaions on received data and returns the result to your program.
Based on crates:
- pbkdf2
- sha3
- sha2
- sha-1
- hmac
- md-5
- base64
- getrandom
- ring
- aws-lc-rs
Features:
By default the following crates: [pbkdf2], [hmac], [sha2], [sha1] are included with this crate and a trait objects are available.
use_ring- adds crate: [ring] to the crate and a trait objects becomes available, also the ring dependency is added automatically. See crate's licenses. Picked: Apache-2.0 and ISCuse_aws_lc- adds crate: [aws-lc-rs] to the crate and a trait objects becomes available, also the dependancy is added automatically. Sell crate's licenses. Picked: ISC and ISCexclude_sha1- excludes the sha1 alg.with_async- includes the async code.std- use std libwith_capi- adds a C API for static libxor_without_u128- prevents using u128 while XOR-ing the arrays.
Default features:
- std
- use_ring
- use_aws_lc
Warnings:
- This crate does not open network connection to anywhere. And must never!
- This crate has never been audited, only static tests proofs the correctness of its operation.
- This crate uses unverified cryptography crates. There is no warranty that the operaion of those crates is correct all the time.
Author of this crate is not responsible for anything which may happen.
