Crystal bindings for the libsodium box API

Given a recipients public key, you can encrypt and sign a message for them. Upon receipt, they can decrypt and authenticate the message as having come from you.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  cox:
    github: andrewhamon/cox

Usage

require "cox"

data = "Hello World!"

# Alice is the sender
alice = Cox::KeyPair.new

# Bob is the recipient
bob = Cox::KeyPair.new

# Encrypt a message for Bob using his public key, signing it with Alice's
# secret key
nonce, encrypted = Cox.encrypt(data, bob.public, alice.secret)

# Decrypt the message using Bob's secret key, and verify its signature against
# Alice's public key
decrypted = Cox.decrypt(encrypted, nonce, alice.public, bob.secret)

String.new(decrypted) # => "Hello World!"
