# Modular password-based encryption for Rust

![Rust](https://github.com/exonum/pwbox-rs/workflows/Rust/badge.svg?branch=master)

[![License: Apache-2.0](https://img.shields.io/github/license/exonum/pwbox-rs.svg)](https://github.com/exonum/pwbox-rs/blob/master/LICENSE)

![rust 1.55.0+ required](https://img.shields.io/badge/rust-1.55.0+-blue.svg?label=Required%20Rust)

**Documentation:** [![crate docs (master)](https://img.shields.io/badge/master-yellow.svg?label=docs)](https://exonum.github.io/pwbox-rs/pwbox/)

`pwbox` crate provides utilities for password-based encryption together with

corresponding composable cryptographic primitives. Using the crate, it is

possible to securely encrypt sensitive data with a password, serialize it

to any `serde`-supported format, and restore data.

**Warning.** Although `pwbox` is constructed analogously to an Ethereum keystore

(and is compatible with it, see crate docs), no independent cryptology expertise has been conducted

regarding its safety. Use at your own risk.

## Usage

Add this to your `Crate.toml`:

```toml

[dependencies]

pwbox = "0.5.0"

``` 

See crate documentation for more details how to use the crate.

### Crate Features

- `std` (enabled by default): Enables types from the Rust standard library. Switching

  this feature off can be used for constrained environments, such as WASM. Note that

  the crate still requires an allocator (that is, the `alloc` crate) even

  if the `std` feature is disabled.

- `exonum_sodiumoxide` (enabled by default), `rust-crypto`, `pure` (both disabled by default):

  Provide the cryptographic backends.

## License

`pwbox` is licensed under the Apache License (Version 2.0). See [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details.
