Collection of [block ciphers] written in pure Rust.

## Higher level constructions

Crates in this repository implement ONLY raw block cipher functionality defined by traits in the [`cipher`] crate.
In practice block ciphers are rarely used in isolation.
Instead, they usually play role of a building block for higher level constructions.
In RustCrypto such constructions are implemented generically over block ciphers in separate repositories:
- [AEADs](https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs): GCM, SIV, CCM, MGM, etc.
- [MACs](https://github.com/RustCrypto/MACs): CMAC, PMAC.
- [Block modes](https://github.com/RustCrypto/block-modes): CTR, CBC, CFB, etc.
- [Key wrapping](https://github.com/RustCrypto/key-wraps): AES-KW. 

Most users should use constructions defined in these repositories without directly relying on raw block cipher functionality.

## Warnings

Currently only the `aes` crate provides constant-time implementation and has received a third-party security audit.

Other crates in this repository are not implemented in a constant-time manner and have not yet received any formal cryptographic and security reviews.

It's generally recommended not to use other cipher implementations in this repository besides the `aes` crate.

**USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.**
