Cryptography is considered to be one of the best application of rust. So I was wondering what cryptography crates people usually use. I see many crates that are abandoned, and other discussions I found on this topic are 2+ years old.

blessed.rs is my usual place to get started with these sorts of questions, and they have a section on cryptography crates.
