ascon: use aead crate for AEAD API; MSRV 1.60 (#44)
Impls the standard AEAD API from the `aead` crate.

Eventually we can split this API out into a separate crate, e.g.
`ascon-aead`, but for now this just gets things working initially.

Uses weak/namespaced features which requires MSRV 1.60.

RustCrypto: Ascon

crate Docs Build Status Apache2/MIT licensed Rust Version Project Chat

Pure Rust implementation of Ascon, a family of authenticated encryption and hashing algorithms designed to be lightweight and easy to implement.

Documentation

About

Ascon is a family of lightweight algorithms built on a core permutation algorithm. These algorithms include:

  • Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD)
  • Hash functions (HASH) and extendible-output functions (XOF)
  • Pseudo-random functions (PRF) and message authentication codes (MAC)

Ascon has been selected as new standard for lightweight cryptography in the NIST Lightweight Cryptography competition, and has also been selected as the primary choice for lightweight authenticated encryption in the final portfolio of the CAESAR competition.

Minimum Supported Rust Version

This crate requires Rust 1.60 at a minimum.

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