Seems reasonable! We should probably check in a lockfile to avoid the issue that you ran into with base64ct. But I can do that in a follow-up.

This PR implements a pure-Rust backend, using the RustCrypto ecosystem of crates, for the
authenticatorlibrary as an easier-to-build and more maintainable solution for some non-Firefox users. OpenSSL is problematic to depend on for many applications out there.cargo test --no-default-features --features crypto_rustruns all the tests successfully on my local system using this branch.At 1Password we are looking to move off our very old version of
authenticator, which didn't have any cryptographic dependencies before, and update to the latest for CTAP2 support. OpenSSL is a no-go for us however and we obviously can't use NSS since we aren't Firefox, so this hopefully provides a bridge for the provider gap that exists onmaintoday.
