Several features in libsodium are already provided by Crystal:
- Random (Use Random::Secure)
- SHA-2 (Use OpenSSL::Digest)
- HMAC SHA-2 (Use OpenSSL::HMAC)
Installation
Optionally Install libsodium. 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

Usage
CryptoBox easy encryption
require "cox"
data = "Hello World!"
# Alice is the sender
alice = Cox::CryptoBox::SecretKey.new
# Bob is the recipient
bob = Cox::CryptoBox::SecretKey.new
# Precompute a shared secret between alice and bob.
pair = alice.pair bob.public_key
# Encrypt a message for Bob using his public key, signing it with Alice's
# secret key
nonce, encrypted = pair.encrypt data
# Precompute within a block. The shared secret is wiped when the block exits.
bob.pair alice.public_key do |pair|
# 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!"
end
Public key signing
message = "Hello World!"
secret_key = Cox::Sign::SecretKey.new
# Sign the message
signature = secret_key.sign_detached message
# Send secret_key.public_key to the recipient
public_key = Cox::Sign::PublicKey.new key_bytes
# raises Cox::Error::VerificationFailed on failure.
public_key.verify_detached message, signature
Secret Key Encryption
key = Cox::SecretKey.random
message = "foobar"
encrypted, nonce = key.encrypt_easy message
# On the other side.
key = Cox::SecretKey.new key
message = key.decrypt_easy encrypted, nonce
Blake2b
key = Bytes.new Cox::Blake2B::KEY_SIZE
salt = Bytes.new Cox::Blake2B::SALT_SIZE
personal = Bytes.new Cox::Blake2B::PERSONAL_SIZE
out_size = 64 # bytes between Cox::Blake2B::OUT_SIZE_MIN and Cox::Blake2B::OUT_SIZE_MAX
data = "data".to_slice
# output_size, key, salt, and personal are optional.
digest = Cox::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
kdf = Cox::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 Hashing
pwhash = Cox::Pwhash.new
pwhash.memlimit = Cox::Pwhash::MEMLIMIT_MIN
pwhash.opslimit = Cox::Pwhash::OPSLIMIT_MIN
pass = "1234"
hash = pwhash.hash_str pass
pwhash.verify hash, pass
Use examples/pwhash_selector.cr
to help choose ops/mem limits.
Example output: Ops limit →
