Rustls - Modern, Faster, Safer TLS
Explore the world of rustls, an open-source Transport Level Security (TLS) stack written in safe Rust, in this 35-minute conference talk from RustFest Paris 2018. Dive into the current state of TLS support in the Rust ecosystem and the design choices behind rustls. Learn about its goals, characteristics, integrity measures, deployment strategies, and countermeasures. Discover modern TLS bindings, API implementations, and performance comparisons with OpenSSL. Gain insights into rustls' testing procedures, error handling, type system, and verification processes. Understand the future directions for rustls, including non-blocking I/O and formal verification. Engage with questions about timing bugs and scope, and explore the differences between rustls and OpenSSL APIs.
