Common traits for cryptographic methods

1

It seems that the traits here traits/digest at master · RustCrypto/traits · GitHub
do not allow openssl ( @sfackler ) to align cleanly with them. Please see
RustCrypto Traits · Issue #1148 · sfackler/rust-openssl · GitHub

Is there a chance to adjust the (digest) traits so that alignment with openssl is "cleanly" possible?

I don't see where the problem is. The APIs seem to be compatible. Have you tried implementing it?

I started once to give it a try. I agree it looks easy enough for the digest methods/trait
I gave up because I don't have not enough Rust-fu. Still learning.

I think I gave up when I tried to turn DigestBytes into GenericArrays. Didn't want to copy stuff around.

Copying into a GenericArray shouldn't be a problem, because they're 16-20 bytes large, and returned by value anyway. LLVM may be able to optimize that out.
