    Overview

    package aead provides a generic interface to the supported Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data algorithms.

    Both a one-shot and context based interface are provided, with similar usage. If multiple messages are to be sealed/opened via the same key, the context based interface may be more efficient, depending on the algorithm.

    WARNING: Reusing the same key + iv to seal (encrypt) multiple messages results in catastrophic loss of security for most algorithms.

    Example: 
    package aead_example

import "core:bytes"
import "core:crypto"
import "core:crypto/aead"

main :: proc() {
	algo := aead.Algorithm.XCHACHA20POLY1305

	// The example added associated data, and plaintext.
	aad_str := "Get your ass in gear boys."
	pt_str := "They're immanetizing the Eschaton."

	aad := transmute([]byte)aad_str
	plaintext := transmute([]byte)pt_str
	pt_len := len(plaintext)

	// Generate a random key for the purposes of illustration.
	key := make([]byte, aead.KEY_SIZES[algo])
	defer delete(key)
	crypto.rand_bytes(key)

	// `ciphertext || tag`, is a common way data is transmitted, so
	// demonstrate that.
	buf := make([]byte, pt_len + aead.TAG_SIZES[algo])
	defer delete(buf)
	ciphertext, tag := buf[:pt_len], buf[pt_len:]

	// Seal the AAD + Plaintext.
	iv := make([]byte, aead.IV_SIZES[algo])
	defer delete(iv)
	crypto.rand_bytes(iv) // Random IVs are safe with XChaCha20-Poly1305.
	aead.seal(algo, ciphertext, tag, key, iv, aad, plaintext)

	// Open the AAD + Ciphertext.
	opened_pt := buf[:pt_len]
	if ok := aead.open(algo, opened_pt, key, iv, aad, ciphertext, tag); !ok {
		panic("aead example: failed to open")
	}

	assert(bytes.equal(opened_pt, plaintext))
}

    Implementation ¶
    Source

    Implementation :: union {
	aes.Implementation, 
	chacha20.Implementation, 
}
     

    Implementation is an AEAD implementation. Most callers will not need to use this as the package will automatically select the most performant implementation available.
