Crystal bindings for the [libsodium API](https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/)
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
* Provide the most commonly used libsodium API's.
|
|
* Provide an easy to use API based on reviewing most other [libsodium bindings](https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/bindings_for_other_languages).
|
|
* Test for compatibility against other libsodium bindings to ensure interoperability.
|
|
* Always provide a stream interface to handle arbitrarily sized data when one is available.
|
|
* Drop in replacement classes compatible with OpenSSL::{Digest,Cipher} when possible.
|
|
* Use the newest system packaged libsodium or download the most recent stable version without manual configuration.
|
|
|

|
|
* Random (Use [Random::Secure](https://crystal-lang.org/api/latest/Random/Secure.html))
|
|
* SHA-2 (Use [OpenSSL::Digest](https://crystal-lang.org/api/latest/OpenSSL/Digest.html))
|
|
* HMAC SHA-2 (Use [OpenSSL::HMAC](https://crystal-lang.org/api/latest/OpenSSL/HMAC.html))
|
|
* Hex conversion (Use [String#hexbytes](https://crystal-lang.org/api/latest/String.html#hexbytes%3ABytes-instance-method))

## Installation
|
|
|
|
**[Optionally Install libsodium.](https://download.libsodium.org/doc/installation/)**
|
|
A recent version of libsodium is automatically downloaded and compiled if you don't install your own version.
|
|
|
|
Add this to your application's `shard.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dependencies:
|
|
sodium:
|
|
github: didactic-drunk/sodium.cr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
See `examples` for help on using these classes in a complete application.
|
|
|
|
The `specs` provide the best examples of how to use or misuse individual classes.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CryptoBox authenticated easy encryption
|
|
```crystal
|
|
require "sodium"
|
|
|
|
data = "Hello World!"
|
|
|
|
# Alice is the sender
|
|
alice = Sodium::CryptoBox::SecretKey.new
|
|
|
|
# Bob is the recipient
|
|
bob = Sodium::CryptoBox::SecretKey.new
|
|
|
|
# Precompute a shared secret between alice and bob.
|
|
box = alice.box bob.public_key
|
|
|
|
# Encrypt a message for Bob using his public key, signing it with Alice's
|
|
# secret key
|
|
encrypted, nonce = box.encrypt data
|
|
|
|
# Precompute within a block. The shared secret is wiped when the block exits.
|
|
bob.box alice.public_key do |box|
|
|
# Decrypt the message using Bob's secret key, and verify its signature against
|
|
# Alice's public key
|
|
decrypted = box.decrypt encrypted, nonce: nonce
|
|
|
|
String.new(decrypted) # => "Hello World!"
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Unauthenticated public key encryption
|
|
```crystal
|
|
data = "Hello World!"
|
|
|
|
# Bob is the recipient
|
|
bob = Sodium::CryptoBox::SecretKey.new
|
|
|
|
# Encrypt a message for Bob using his public key
|
|
encrypted = bob.public_key.encrypt data
|
|
|
|
# Decrypt the message using Bob's secret key
|
|
decrypted = bob.decrypt encrypted
|
|
String.new(decrypted) # => "Hello World!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Public key signing
|
|
```crystal
|
|
message = "Hello World!"
|
|
|
|
secret_key = Sodium::Sign::SecretKey.new
|
|
|
|
# Sign the message
|
|
signature = secret_key.sign_detached message
|
|
|
|
# Send secret_key.public_key to the recipient
|
|
|
|
# On the recipient
|
|
public_key = Sodium::Sign::PublicKey.new key_bytes
|
|
|
|
# raises Sodium::Error::VerificationFailed on failure.
|
|
public_key.verify_detached message, signature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Secret Key Encryption
|
|
```crystal
|
|
box = Sodium::SecretBox.new
|
|
|
|
message = "foobar"
|
|
encrypted, nonce = box.encrypt message
|
|
|
|
# On the other side.
|
|
box = Sodium::SecretKey.new key
|
|
message = box.decrypt encrypted, nonce: nonce
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Blake2b
|
|
```crystal
|
|
key = Bytes.new Sodium::Digest::Blake2B::KEY_SIZE
|
|
salt = Bytes.new Sodium::Digest::Blake2B::SALT_SIZE
|
|
personal = Bytes.new Sodium::Digest::Blake2B::PERSONAL_SIZE
|
|
out_size = 64 # bytes between Sodium::Digest::Blake2B::OUT_SIZE_MIN and Sodium::Digest::Blake2B::OUT_SIZE_MAX
|
|
data = "data".to_slice
|
|
|
|
# output_size, key, salt, and personal are optional.
|
|
digest = Sodium::Digest::Blake2b.new out_size, key: key, salt: salt, personal: personal
|
|
digest.update data
|
|
output = d.hexdigest
|
|
|
|
digest.reset # Reuse existing object to hash again.
|
|
digest.update data
|
|
output = d.hexdigest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Key derivation
|
|
```crystal
|
|
kdf = Sodium::Kdf.new
|
|
|
|
# kdf.derive(8_byte_context, subkey_id, subkey_size)
|
|
subkey1 = kdf.derive "context1", 0, 16
|
|
subkey2 = kdf.derive "context1", 1, 16
|
|
subkey3 = kdf.derive "context2", 0, 32
|
|
subkey4 = kdf.derive "context2", 1, 64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Password based keys
|
|
```crystal
|
|
pwcreate = Sodium::Password::Key::Create.new
|
|
|
|
# Take approximately 1 second to derive a key.
|
|
pwcreate.tcost = 1.0
|
|
|
|
pass = "1234"
|
|
key, params = pwcreate.create_key pass
|
|
# Store `params` or `params.to_h` for later.
|
|
|
|
# Derive the same key from the stored params.
|
|
pwkey = Sodium::Password::Key.from_params params.to_h
|
|
key = pekey.derive_key pass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Password Hashing
|
|
```crystal
|
|
pwhash = Sodium::Password::Hash.new
|
|
|
|
pwhash.mem = Sodium::Password::MEMLIMIT_MIN
|
|
pwhash.ops = Sodium::Password::OPSLIMIT_MIN
|
|
|
|
pass = "1234"
|
|
hash = pwhash.create pass
|
|
pwhash.verify hash, pass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `examples/pwhash_selector.cr` to help choose ops/mem limits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
Ops limit →
|
|
|
|
| | 1 | 4 | 16 | 64 | 256 | 1024 | 4096 | 16384 | 65536 | 262144 | 1048576 |

## Project History
|
|
|
|
* Originally created by [Andrew Hamon](https://github.com/andrewhamons/cox)
|
|
* Forked by [Didactic Drunk](https://github.com/didactic-drunk/cox) for lack of updates in the original project.
|
|
* Complaints about the name being too controversial. Project name changed from "cox" to a more libsodium related name of "salty seaman".
|
|
* ~50% complete libsodium API.
|
|
* More complaints about the name. Dead hooker jokes added.
|
|
* None of the original API is left.
|
|
* More complaints threatening a boycott. Told them "Go ahead, I own Coca Cola and Water".
|
|
* Account unsuspended.
|
|
* Unrelated to the boycott the project name changed to "libsodium" because sodium happens to be a tasty byproduct of the two earlier names.
|
|
* Account unsuspended.
|
|
* Dead hooker jokes (mostly) removed.
