Rustls
rustls is a modern implementation of the Transport Layer Security protocol written in the Rust programming language. It serves as a cryptographic transport layer for establishing encrypted connections between clients and servers to ensure data privacy and integrity.
The library features a pluggable crypto provider framework, allowing the substitution of cryptographic primitive implementations to meet specific platform architecture or regulatory compliance requirements.
It provides capabilities for secure server configuration to handle encrypted incoming connections and secure client connection management for authenticating remote servers. The implementation focuses on secure transport and network security for Rust applications.
