This is an idiomatic Rust wrapper for MbedTLS, allowing you to use MbedTLS with only safe code while being able to use such great Rust features like error handling and closures.
Additionally, building on MbedTLS's focus on embedded use, this crate can be used in a no_std environment.
We discovered that mbedtls 3.4.X
is not thread safe and will not work properly with multiple threads. This problem will not be fixed in short time, and the new PSA approach does not match our needs.
Therefore, we now decided to stay on mbedtls 2.28.X
, and the state of this repository is changed to maintenance. We will not accept any more feature requests.
Old code of mbedtls 3.X
on master
branch has been moved to branch mbedtls-3
.

This crate depends on the mbedtls-sys-auto crate, see below for build details.
This is a list of the Cargo features available for mbedtls. Features in bold are enabled by default.

feature is enabled, this feature is ignored.chrono
support (e.g., implementation of conversion traits between x509::Time

crate on crates.io is claimed by another, apparently inactive, project.
To use this crate, you will need to have clang and cmake installed, see below for details.
Configuring and linking MbedTLSMbedTLS has a plethora of compile-time configuration options that significantly impact what functionality is available. To make sure Rust's view of MbedTLS matches up with what's built in C, MbedTLS must be configured using Cargo features (see next section) and built using mbedtls-sys's build script.
The mbedtls-sys crate includes the MbedTLS source code, the MbedTLS version will have the same major.minor version as the crate. Instead of using the provided source, you can specify the path to your own source tree using the RUST_MBEDTLS_SYS_SOURCE
environment variable. It is not recommended to use a custom source that is based on a different version of MbedTLS than the one provided in the crate.
The build script will perform the following steps:

/printf()
. For printf()
, you can optionally use the custom_printf
feature. rand()
is only needed for the selftests. On UNIX platforms, this also enables networking, filesystems and OS entropy.cfg(unix)
platforms, this uses pthreads. On other platforms, you need to provide a custom threading implementation. In a dependent crate, you must define the functions mbedtls_mutex_init()
, mbedtls_mutex_free()
, mbedtls_mutex_lock()
, and mbedtls_mutex_unlock()
following the MbedTLS function signatures.cfg(unix)
platforms, this uses libc
. On other platforms, you need to provide your own implementations of mbedtls_platform_gmtime_r(const long long*, struct tm*)
and mbedtls_time(long long*)
.For the complete mapping of features to config.h defines, see [mbedtls-sys/build/config.rs]. PRs adding new features are encouraged.
Instructions for updating to new MbedTLS source code releases in mbedtls-sys/
:
vendor/
and replace it with the contents of the distribution tarball.build/headers.rs
to generate the list of headers, and update that file as appropriate.build/config.rs
vs. vendor/include/mbedtls/config.h
.Cargo.toml
version and also the [package.metadata.mbedtls]
section with the upstream version (and commit hash).This Rust crate is designed for separating self-test code that needs to export Rust functions and define C functions to be used by C mbedtls
. By separating this code, different versions of Rust mbedtls
crates can be used within a single crate, which helps to solve link name conflict errors.
Note: Although multiple versions of Rust mbedtls
crates can be used within a single crate, only one mbedtls-selftest
and one mbedtls-sys-auto
crate can be used since they are built as native libraries.

This project is primarily distributed under the terms of the Apache License version 2.0 and the GNU General Public License version 2, see LICENSE-APACHE and LICENSE-GPL for details.
MbedTLS is dual-licensed Apache-2.0 / GPL-2.0+, and so are the mbedtls
and mbedtls-sys-auto
crates. However, the sources are distributed in two different single-licensed tarballs. The authors of the mbedtls
and mbedtls-sys-auto
crates do not warrant that the two versions of the MbedTLS code are exactly the same. This repository includes the Apache-2.0 version. Since Apache-2.0 is compatible with GPL-3.0+ this is probably not an issue for people whishing to use mbedtls-sys in a GPL-3.0+-licensed project, but if you want to use it in a GPL-2.0-licensed project, you should probably manually specify the GPL-2.0 source when building.
