Noise protocol framework in rust

Overview

The library provides pure rust implementation of Noise protocol framework with minimal dependencies made in functional style, where a specific Noise scheme is constructed as a concrete type (like Noise_XK<Secp256,ChaChaPoly,Sha256>).

The library is a part of rust cyphernet suite.

Features

Currently, the library supports following handshake patterns and construction primitives:

• All interactive handshake fundamental patterns: NN, NK, NX, XN, XK, XX, KN, KK, KX, IN, IK, IX
• Streaming cipher ChaCha20Poly1305
• Elliptic curves Secp256k1 and Edward25519
• Digest functions SHA2-256, SHA2-512, SHA3-256, SHA3-512, BLAKE3

The library currently DOES NOT provide:

• Other AEAD ciphers than ChaCha20Poly1305;

• Support for pre-shared secret keys (PSK);

• Interactive handshake deferred patterns.
