Dependencies

This section explains what libraries Orion depends on and what they are used for. To see how much unsafe code is in these dependencies, check the Security section of the wiki.

subtle

subtle is used for constant-time comparisons.

getrandom

getrandom is used to provide a CSPRNG through randomness provided by the operating system.

zeroize

zeroize is used to wipe sensitive memory.

ct-codecs

ct-codecs is used to encode password hashes when hashing with Argon2i.

serde

Requires the serde feature. If enabled, it implements serde::{Serialize, Deserialize} for relevant types. This creates a dependency on serde without its derive feature enabled, and with its alloc feature enabled.
