Ice-Crypt is a Rust implementation of the ICE (Information Concealment Engine) encryption algorithm.

[ICE] is a 64-bit private key block cipher, in the tradition of DES. However, unlike DES, it was designed to be secure against differential and linear cryptanalysis, and has no key complementation weaknesses or weak keys. In addition, its key size can be any multiple of 64 bits, whereas the DES key is limited to 56 bits.
-- Matthew Kwan, Author of the ICE encryption algorithm

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ice-crypt = "1.0.0"

To encrypt a simple message, you can use the following code:

src/main.rs:

use ice_crypt::IceKey;

fn main() {
    let key: Vec<u8> = vec![67, 83, 71, 79, 16, 54, 0, 0, 132, 13, 0, 0, 97, 3, 0, 0];

    let message: &str = "My secret message";

    // Create a new IceKey instance
    let mut icekey = IceKey::new(2);

    // Set Private Key
    icekey.set(key);

    let encrypted_message: Vec<u8> = icekey.encrypt_all(message.as_bytes().to_vec());

    let decrypted_message: Vec<u8> = icekey.decrypt_all(encrypted_message);

    // Convert to string and remove 0 padding
    let mut output = std::str::from_utf8(&decrypted_message).unwrap();
    output = output.trim_end_matches('\0');

    assert_eq!(message, output);
}
