RustCrypto: SEC1 Elliptic Curve Cryptography Formats

Documentation

About

Pure Rust implementation of SEC1: Elliptic Curve Cryptography encoding formats including ASN.1 DER-serialized private keys (also described in RFC5915) as well as the Elliptic-Curve-Point-to-Octet-String and Octet-String-to-Elliptic-Curve-Point encoding algorithms.

Minimum Supported Rust Version

This crate requires Rust 1.57 at a minimum.

We may change the MSRV in the future, but it will be accompanied by a minor version bump.

License

Licensed under either of:

at your option.

Contribution

Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.

serde support

When the serde feature of this crate is enabled, the EncodedPoint type receives impls of [serde::Serialize] and [serde::Deserialize].

Additionally, when both the alloc and serde features are enabled, the serializers/deserializers will autodetect if a “human friendly” textual encoding is being used, and if so encode the points as hexadecimal.
