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.

Cryptography is considered to be one of the best application of rust.

Cryptography itself requires using assembly to avoid timing attacks. Using Rust on top of that is indeed a good match, and a widely used one (e.g. aws-lc-rs)
