Description

We haven't quite figured out our rust https story on fuchsia, but one of the options we are considering is to have a dedicated service managing web requests. If that's the case, we won't necessarily need hyper+some tls in the tuf repo. If that's the case, it'd be nice if we could build the core tuf library without it.

Research direction

Start by mapping the Repository implementations and their dependencies on hyper and TLS in the rust-tuf crate. Determine how the core TUF library can build without those dependencies and how the implementations should be separated into dedicated crates; done means the core builds independently and the repository implementations remain usable.
