rust-crypto is unmaintained; switch to a modern alternative

Details
Status unmaintained
Package rust-crypto
Version 0.2.36
URL DaGenix/rust-crypto#440
Date 2016-09-06

The rust-crypto crate has not seen a release or GitHub commit since 2016,
and its author is unresponsive.

NOTE: The (old) rust-crypto crate (with hyphen) should not be confused with
similarly named (new) RustCrypto GitHub Org (without hyphen). The GitHub Org
is actively maintained.

We recommend you switch to one of the following crates instead, depending on
which algorithms you need:

  • dalek-cryptography GitHub Org:
  • ring:
    • AEAD algorithms: AES-GCM, ChaCha20Poly1305
    • Digest algorithms: SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/256 (legacy: SHA-1)
    • HMAC
    • Key agreement: ECDH (P-256, P-384), X25519
    • Key derivation: HKDF
    • Password hashing: PBKDF2
    • Signature algorithms: ECDSA (P-256, P-384), Ed25519, RSA (PKCS#1v1.5, PSS)
  • RustCrypto GitHub Org:
  • secp256k1:
    • Key agreement: ECDH (secp256k1 only)
    • Signature algorithms: ECDSA (secp256k1 only)
  • sodiumoxide:
    • AEAD algorithms: ChaCha20Poly1305 (IETF version)
    • Digest algorithms: SHA-256, SHA-512
    • HMAC
    • Key agreement: X25519 + BLAKE2b
    • Password hashing: Argon2(i/d), scrypt
    • Public key encryption: NaCl "Box" (X25519 + XSalsa20Poly1305)
    • Signature algorithms: Ed25519
    • Short-input PRF: SipHash24
  • orion:
    • AEAD algorithms: ChaCha20Poly1305 (IETF version), XChaCha20Poly1305
    • Digest algorithms: SHA-512, BLAKE2b
    • Key derivation: HKDF
    • MACs: HMAC, Poly1305
    • Password hashing: PBKDF2
    • Stream ciphers: ChaCha20 (IETF version), XChaCha20
