`crypto` is a module that exposes cryptographic algorithms to V programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each submodule implements things differently, so be sure to consider the documentation
|
|
|
|
of the specific algorithm you need, but in general, the method is to create a `cipher`
|
|
|
|
struct using one of the module functions, and then to call the `encrypt` or `decrypt`
|
|
|
|
method on that struct to actually encrypt or decrypt your data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module is a work-in-progress. For example, the AES implementation currently requires you
|
|
|
|
to create a destination buffer of the correct size to receive the decrypted data, and the AesCipher
|
|
|
|
`encrypt` and `decrypt` functions only operate on the first block of the `src`.

The implementations here are loosely based on [Go's crypto package](https://pkg.go.dev/crypto).

## Examples:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```v
|
|
|
|
import crypto.aes
|
|
|
|
import crypto.rand
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
|
|
// remember to save this key somewhere if you ever want to decrypt your data
|

|
|
|
key := rand.bytes(32)?
|
2022-01-07 12:28:50 +01:00
|
|
|
println('KEY: $key')
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// this data is one block (16 bytes) big
|
|
|
|
mut data := 'THIS IS THE DATA'.bytes()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
println('generating cipher')
|
|
|
|
cipher := aes.new_cipher(key)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
println('performing encryption')

|
|
|
cipher.decrypt(mut decrypted, encrypted)
