Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between aws-lc-rs and ring?
While we aim to be API-compatible with ring v0.16 there are some differences in our implementation. Please review the
ring-compatibility section of our API reference guide.
Can I run aws-lc-rs on X platform or architecture?
The answer to this question is dependent on several factors based on the target environment:
- Must be a platform and CPU architecture supported by AWS-LC.
- Must be a platform supported by the Rust compiler with support for the full standard library. See the Rust compiler's platform support documentation.
- If the underlying
aws-lc-sysoraws-lc-fips-syscrates don't have pre-generated bindings for the desired platform then you must use thebindgencrate feature ofaws-lc-rs, or have the bindgen-cli installed, to enable generation of the FFI bindings for the desired platform and architecture. - See Requirements and Platform Support for more details on build requirements for various platforms.
If there is a platform or architecture you are interested in seeing support for, please create a GitHub issue.
