Crate bessie 

Bessie is an authenticated, chunked cipher based on BLAKE3. It’s still in the design stages, and it’s not suitable for production use.

Examples

Encrypt a message.

let key = bessie::generate_key();
let ciphertext: Vec<u8> = bessie::encrypt(&key, b"hello world");

Decrypt that message.

let plaintext: Vec<u8> = bessie::decrypt(&key, &ciphertext)?;
assert_eq!(b"hello world", &plaintext[..]);

Modules

testing

Functions that take a nonce from the caller, mainly for testing

Structs

DecryptReader

An incremental decrypter supporting std::io::Read and std::io::Seek.

EncryptWriter

An incremental encrypter supporting std::io::Write.

Error

An opaque decryption error.

Functions

ciphertext_len

Compute the length of a ciphertext, given the length of a plaintext.

decrypt

Decrypt a message and return the plaintext as Result of Vec<u8>.

decrypt_to_slice

Decrypt a message, write the plaintext to an existing slice, and return a Result.

encrypt

Encrypt a message and return the ciphertext as a Vec<u8>.

encrypt_to_slice

Encrypt a message and write the ciphertext to an existing slice.

generate_key

Create a new 32-byte key from a cryptographically secure random number generator.

plaintext_len

Compute the length of a plaintext, given the length of a ciphertext.
