About:
Rustls-ffi provides C-compatible foreign function interface bindings for the modern, memory-safe rustls TLS library. It enables developers to integrate high-performance, secure TLS capabilities into C, C++, and other FFI-compatible languages. This allows replacing legacy TLS implementations with a safer, more reliable alternative.
Key Features:
  • Safe memory management via Rust ownership principles
  • Modern TLS 1.2 and 1.3 support
  • Minimal attack surface compared to OpenSSL
  • C ABI compatibility for easy integration
Use Cases:
  • Adding TLS support to C/C++ applications without OpenSSL
  • Securing network communications in embedded systems
  • Building secure networking layers for custom protocols
Alternatives:
  • OpenSSL – More mature but larger attack surface and legacy API complexity
  • mbedTLS – Lightweight but lacks Rust's memory safety guarantees
