Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
44
device-signer
experimentalv0.1.1
Secure device cryptographic key generation, storage, and identity for hardware devices. Derives deterministic secp256k1 keys from hardware entropy with Ethereum and Nostr support.
46
asmcrypto
experimentalv0.1.2
Register-parallel cryptographic primitives: 8-lane AVX-512 Keccak-256 batch and secp256k1 ECDSA batch address recovery, outperforming libsecp256k1.
41
parity-secp256k1
growingv0.7.0
Fork of Rust bindings for Pieter Wuille's `libsecp256k1` library. Implements ECDSA for the SECG elliptic curve group secp256k1 and related utilities.
