Thoughts on underlying crypto

[ofek]

I'm curious if there is a maintained, small write up somewhere regarding the choice of the underlying Rust libraries that are used. Specifically, I'm coming from this comment and am wondering about aws-lc-rs.

This could be a decent length essay unto itself. But I guess: No, there's no "maintained, small write up somewhere regarding the choice of the underlying Rust libraries that are used".

This issue has been waiting for a reporter response for 3 days. It will be auto-closed if no activity occurs in the next 5 days.

Would this not be a useful endeavor then in comparison to the effort it would require?

You asked if it was documented, the answer is its not.

Are you asking for it to be documented?

(My strong impression is that we have a basically bimodal user base: a large majority who have no views as to where our crypto comes from, and a minor who have very strong views on where it should come from and don't much care what we think :-))

If it's not too troublesome I would very much appreciate such documentation!
