Mundane is a Rust cryptography library backed by BoringSSL, designed to be difficult to misuse, ergonomic, and performant. It vendors its own BoringSSL copy with symbol prefixing to avoid link-time conflicts.

Use cases

  • add cryptographic primitives to a Rust application safely
  • use BoringSSL from Rust with an ergonomic API
  • prevent common crypto API misuse in Rust code
  • hash and encrypt data in a Rust project
  • avoid symbol conflicts when multiple crypto library versions coexist

When to choose

  • you want a misuse-resistant crypto API in Rust
  • you prefer BoringSSL as the underlying implementation
  • you need vendored dependencies so BoringSSL isn't installed locally

When to avoid

  • you need Windows or cross-compilation support
  • you need a broadly supported or actively developed crypto library
  • you need FIPS-validated cryptography
