irmars

GitHub · Rust · Cryptographic Library

Rust library for interfacing with Yivi (formerly IRMA) servers. Used by postguard (pg-core, pg-pkg, pg-cli) to drive the Yivi session flow that issues identity-based decryption keys.

Published on crates.io.

Why the fork

Forked from tweedegolf/irmars, which has been dormant since 2021. The encryption4all fork was created to:

• Move to reqwest 0.12 and thiserror 2.0, clearing a stack of unmaintained transitive dependencies that the upstream pin held in place.
• Track current Yivi server behavior (irmago 0.19.2, scheme download from schemes.yivi.app).
• Restore an automated release pipeline (release-plz) and Conventional Commits enforcement so the crate can ship to crates.io on a predictable cadence.

How postguard consumes it

pg-core, pg-pkg, and pg-cli depend on the crate from crates.io using Cargo's package rename so existing use irma::... call sites keep working without churn:

[dependencies]
irma = { package = "irmars", version = "0.2.2" }

Source: pg-core/Cargo.toml#L19

The published crate name is irmars; the local crate alias remains irma. This was rolled out in postguard#192.

Releasing

Releases are automated via release-plz. Merging Conventional Commits to main opens a release PR; merging that PR tags the version and publishes to crates.io.
