Rust RFC Proposes a Security Tab on crates.io for RustSec Advisories
Rust’s crates.io team is advancing an RFC to add a Security tab that surfaces RustSec vulnerability and unsoundness advisories directly on crate pages.

The 'fast-crc32c' package is another Node.js module for computing CRC32C checksums. It offers similar functionality to '@aws-crypto/crc32c' but focuses on performance optimizations for Node.js environments. It uses native bindings to Google's Snappy project for faster computation, making it a good alternative for performance-critical applications.
While 'buffer-crc32' computes CRC32 checksums rather than CRC32C, it serves a similar purpose in verifying data integrity. The main difference lies in the algorithm used for the checksum calculation. 'buffer-crc32' might be preferred in scenarios where CRC32 is the required standard, but '@aws-crypto/crc32c' is specifically tailored for CRC32C computations.
