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
