Lesson plan
Rustls
Rustls (pronounced "rustles" ) is an open-source implementation of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) cryptographic protocol written in the Rust programming language. TLS is essential to internet security, and Rustls aims to enable secure, fast TLS connections. Rustls uses Rust's enforcement of memory safety to reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities. It is part of efforts to improve internet security by replacing memory-unsafe software libraries, such as OpenSSL, with memory-safe alternatives.
