Switching to native spectre implementation

[valpackett]

Hi! Ages ago I have implemented the algorithm natively in rust: https://crates.io/crates/rusterpassword would you be interested in getting rid of the C dependency and switching to it?

The crate uses libsodium_sys, but I'm looking into updating it to use the RustCrypto crates.

Just reading this now. That is super nice actually! I had a really hard time getting the bindings to c to work.

Looking into this it seems that rusterpassword is not supporting any serialization yet. Is that something you are planning to work on?

[valpackett]

hm.. serialization of what exactly? There aren't any structures really, it's a basic algorithm that outputs one single password string…

Comapring it with the c lib for spectre password they do include a way to parse a .mpsites file and also store as json or .mpsites
In this app I am using those features.

oh, I've never even heard of those files lol.
