tampon[^1]

Specialized crate that contains SAFE Rust functions, macros and trait to serialize / deserialize data structure and/or object in packed bytes.

Version

1.2.0

• Removed optional max_size from [deserialize_size!(...)] since exploit not possible anymore.
• Modified Trait to remove optional max size.

1.1.4.

• All macros works without tokens.

1.1.3.

• Updated [deserialize_size!(...)] to include optional max_size to prevent exploit.
• Updated [deserialize_size!(...)] and [deserialize!(...)] to accept no tokens.

1.1.0.

• Refactored faster macro code.
• Remove Tampon<T> from Trait implementation.
• Added function deserialize_size() to trait Tampon.
• Added deserialize_size!(...) to get the real size of a buffer.
• Added optional argument optional_len_type for maximum array size.
• Updated rand crate.

1.0.0.

• Base version

Macros

1. buffer!(...) -> Vec<u8> - Variadic macro used to create a buffer and serialize compatible variables.
2. serialize!(...) - Variadic macro used to serialize compatible variables into a buffer.
3. deserialize!(...) - Variadic macro used to deserialize compatible variables from a buffer.
4. bytes_size!(...) -> usize - Variadic macro used to get the size in bytes of compatible variables to serialize.
5. deserialize_size!(...) Variadic macro used to get the size in bytes of compatible variables from buffer that return an error if buffer is too small.

Functions

1. generate_buffer(...) -> Vec<u8> - Generate a random buffer with specific size and charset.
2. wipe_buffer(...) - Wipe a sensible buffer to prevent cold boot attack for greater security.
3. compare_buffer(...) - Compare 2 buffers and return the absolute difference.

Trait

1. Tampon - Trait used to serialize / deserialize object.

[^1]: Tampon means buffer in french.
