Dependency on
crypto-common
causes some annoyances as mentioned in RustCrypto/traits#1662.Instead of using the sealed
BlockSizes
trait, the new code uses monomorphization errors to enforce block size correctness. This is somewhat non-idiomatic, but should be fine in practice since block buffers are usually used with fixed block sizes. After this changeBlockSizes
probably can be removed fromcrypto-common
.I decided against vendoring
block-buffer
code intodigest
as was proposed in the linked issue becauseblock-buffer
has third-party users and having a separate crate should make it a bit easier for reviewers.
