Platform Support

Non-FIPS Builds (aws-lc-sys)

For non-FIPS builds, aws-lc-sys provides universal pre-generated bindings that work across all supported platforms. Bindgen is never required, CMake is never required, and Go is never required. The only build requirement is a C/C++ compiler.

This means that if your target platform is supported by both AWS-LC and the Rust compiler (with std support), aws-lc-rs should work out of the box without any additional tooling beyond a C/C++ compiler.

FIPS Builds (aws-lc-fips-sys)

FIPS builds always require CMake and Go in addition to a C/C++ compiler. FIPS builds also require bindgen unless pre-generated bindings are available for the target platform.

Pre-generated FIPS Bindings

Pre-generated bindings for aws-lc-fips-sys are available for the following targets. All other FIPS targets require bindgen.

¹ FIPS is supported on this platform but requires bindgen (no pre-generated FIPS bindings are available for Windows platforms)

Bindgen for FIPS Builds

For FIPS builds on targets without pre-generated bindings, one of the following options must be used for bindings generation. See requirements page for more information.

• Enable bindgen feature in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
aws-lc-rs = { version = "1", features = ["bindgen", "fips"] }

-- OR --

• Install bindgen-cli in the build environment:

cargo install --force --locked bindgen-cli

Tested Platforms

aws-lc-rs CI builds and/or tests on many platforms beyond those listed in the FIPS bindings table above. See our CI workflow configuration for the complete list of tested platforms.
