rscrypto: Pure Rust Cryptography Raises the Performance Bar

rscrypto addresses a long-standing pain point in Rust development by offering a single, unified cryptography library where developers typically cobble together multiple crates with inconsistent APIs and varying security practices. The benchmark results are compelling—1.6x faster than industry alternatives on Linux and 1.25x on Apple Silicon—suggesting this isn't just a consolidation play but a genuine performance improvement. For teams prioritizing supply chain security, binary size control, and deployment simplicity, a pure-Rust, zero-dependency alternative to OpenSSL and system libraries represents a meaningful strategic advantage.
