    Summary: rust-crypto is unmaintained; switch to a modern alternative

    Details: 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]: - Key agreement: [`x25519-dalek`] - Signature algorithms: [`ed25519-dalek`] - [`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]: - AEAD algorithms: [`aes-gcm`], [`aes-gcm-siv`], [`aes-siv`], [`chacha20poly1305`], [`xsalsa20poly1305`] - Block ciphers: [`aes`], [`cast5`], [`des`] - Digest algorithms: [`sha2`], [`sha3`], [`blake2`], [`ripemd160`] (legacy: [`sha-1`], [`md-5`]) - Key derivation: [`hkdf`] - MACs: [`cmac`], [`hmac`], [`pmac`], [`poly1305`] - Password hashing: [`pbkdf2`] - Stream ciphers: [`aes-ctr`], [`chacha20`], [`hc-256`], [`salsa20`] - [`secp256k1`]: - Key agreement: ECDH (secp256k1 only) - Signature algorithms: ECDSA (secp256k1 only) - [`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 [dalek-cryptography GitHub Org]: https://github.com/dalek-cryptography [RustCrypto GitHub Org]: https://github.com/RustCrypto [`aes`]: https://crates.io/crates/aes [`aes-ctr`]: https://crates.io/crates/aes-ctr [`aes-gcm`]: https://crates.io/crates/aes-gcm [`aes-gcm-siv`]: https://crates.io/crates/aes-gcm-siv [`aes-siv`]: https://crates.io/crates/aes-siv [`blake2`]: https://crates.io/crates/blake2 [`cast5`]: https://crates.io/crates/cast5 [`chacha20`]: https://crates.io/crates/chacha20 [`chacha20poly1305`]: https://crates.io/crates/chacha20poly1305 [`cmac`]: https://crates.io/crates/cmac [`des`]: https://crates.io/crates/des [`ed25519-dalek`]: https://crates.io/crates/ed25519-dalek [`hc-256`]: https://crates.io/crates/hc-256 [`hkdf`]: https://crates.io/crates/hkdf [`hmac`]: https://crates.io/crates/hmac [`pbkdf2`]: https://crates.io/crates/pbkdf2 [`pmac`]: https://crates.io/crates/pmac [`poly1305`]: https://crates.io/crates/poly1305 [`ring`]: https://crates.io/crates/ring [`ripemd160`]: https://crates.io/crates/ripemd160 [`salsa20`]: https://crates.io/crates/salsa20 [`secp256k1`]: https://crates.io/crates/secp256k1 [`sha-1`]: https://crates.io/crates/sha-1 [`sha2`]: https://crates.io/crates/sha2 [`sha3`]: https://crates.io/crates/sha3 [`x25519-dalek`]: https://crates.io/crates/x25519-dalek [`xsalsa20poly1305`]: https://crates.io/crates/xsalsa20poly1305 [`orion`]: https://crates.io/crates/orion
