This crate is the encrypted wire between an Ark and the host it is plugged into, the transport every other protocol of the Dark Bio ecosystem runs over. Reports are taken seriously and handled quickly.

Please do not open a public issue for anything that looks like a security problem. Send a private email to peter@dark.bio instead, with a description of the issue, the affected version and, if you have one, a way to reproduce it. You will get an acknowledgement within a few days, and updates as the fix progresses.

Findings in the cryptography underneath belong with the crypto crate, and findings in its dependencies with their maintainers, but a report here is still welcome. We track the RustSec advisory database daily and ship dependency fixes as new releases.

Only the latest release on crates.io receives fixes. Versions are 0.x and every minor bump may change the API and the protocol, so fixes ship as new versions rather than backports. Consumers should track the latest release, which the Ark firmware and the Dark Bio tools do.

Fixes are released first and disclosed afterwards. Once a fixed version is on crates.io, an advisory is filed with the RustSec database so that cargo audit users learn about it, and the report is credited unless you prefer otherwise.
