Some quotes from the report's conclusions:

"the team of auditors considered the general code quality really good and can attest to a solid impression left consistently by all scope items."

"was consistently well-documented and readable, demonstrating that security processes are ingrained in the development and documentation processes"

"Both from a design point of view as from an implementation perspective the entire scope can be considered of exceptionally high standard (...) no directly exploitable weaknesses could be identified."

"It appears to have been developed with all previously known issue-types in mind; furthermore, its missing support for insecure or outdated protocols and primitives indicates a security-conscious development approach."

"the developers of rustls have an extensive knowledge on how to correctly implement the TLS stack whilst avoiding the common pitfalls that surround the TLS ecosystem. This knowledge has translated reliably into an implementation of exceptional quality."

"The developer’s intent to provide a high-quality TLS implementation is very clear and this goal can be considered as achieved successfully. (...) Cure53 had the rare pleasure of being incredibly impressed with the presented software."
