Cryptographic utilities and security functions for PoseiTrader.
The cryptography crate provides essential cryptographic primitives and security utilities required for secure communication with trading venues and data providers. This includes digital signing, TLS configuration, and cryptographic provider management:
- HMAC-based message authentication and signing.
- Digital signatures using RSA and Ed25519 algorithms.
- TLS client configuration with platform certificate verification.
- Cryptographic provider management and initialization.
- Secure encoding and decoding utilities.
§Platform
PoseiTrader is an open-source, high-performance, production-grade algorithmic trading platform, providing quantitative traders with the ability to backtest portfolios of automated trading strategies on historical data with an event-driven engine, and also deploy those same strategies live, with no code changes.
PoseiTrader’s design, architecture, and implementation philosophy prioritizes software correctness and safety at the highest level, with the aim of supporting mission-critical, trading system backtesting and live deployment workloads.
§Feature flags
This crate provides feature flags to control source code inclusion during compilation, depending on the intended use case, i.e. whether to provide Python bindings for the posei_trader Python package, or as part of a Rust only build.
python: Enables Python bindings from PyO3.
