Snow

Crates.io Docs.rs Build Status dependency status

totally official snow logo

An implementation of Trevor Perrin's Noise Protocol that is designed to be Hard To Fuck Up™.

🔥 Warning 🔥 This library has not received any formal audit.

What's it look like?

See examples/simple.rs for a more complete TCP client/server example.

let mut noise = snow::Builder::new("Noise_NN_25519_ChaChaPoly_BLAKE2s".parse()?)
                    .build_initiator()?;

let mut buf = [0u8; 65535];

// write first handshake message
noise.write_message(&[], &mut buf)?;

// receive response message
let incoming = receive_message_from_the_mysterious_ether();
noise.read_message(&incoming, &mut buf)?;

// complete handshake, and transition the state machine into transport mode
let mut noise = noise.into_transport_mode()?;

See the full documentation at https://docs.rs/snow.

Implemented

Snow is currently tracking against Noise spec revision 34.

However, a not all features have been implemented yet (pull requests welcome):

Crypto

Cryptographic providers are swappable through Builder::with_resolver(), but by default it chooses select, artisanal pure-Rust implementations (see Cargo.toml for a quick overview).

Other Providers

ring

ring is a crypto library based off of BoringSSL and is significantly faster than most of the pure-Rust implementations.

If you enable the ring-resolver feature, Snow will include a resolvers::ring module as well as a RingAcceleratedResolver available to be used with Builder::with_resolver().

If you enable the ring-accelerated feature, Snow will default to choosing ring's crypto implementations when available.

Resolver primitives supported

default ring
CSPRNG
25519
448
AESGCM
ChaChaPoly
SHA256
SHA512
BLAKE2s
