`aesni` has been merged into the `aes` crate

Published Apr 29, 2021 · Updated May 4, 2021 · Assigned by RUSTSEC

Description

Please use the `aes` crate going forward. The new repository location is at:

<https://github.com/RustCrypto/block-ciphers/tree/master/aes>

AES-NI is now autodetected at runtime on `i686`/`x86-64` platforms.
If AES-NI is not present, the `aes` crate will fallback to a constant-time
portable software implementation.

To prevent this fallback (and have absence of AES-NI result in an illegal
instruction crash instead), continue to pass the same RUSTFLAGS which were
previously required for the `aesni` crate to compile:

```
RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-feature=+aes,+ssse3
```
