Struct crypto_box::CryptoBox

pub struct CryptoBox<C> { /* private fields */ }

Public-key encryption scheme based on the X25519 Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman function and the crypto_secretbox authenticated encryption cipher.

This type impls the aead::Aead trait, and otherwise functions as a symmetric Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) cipher once instantiated.

Note that additional associated data (AAD) is not supported and encryption operations will return aead::Error if it is provided as an argument.

Implementations

impl<C> CryptoBox<C>

pub fn new(public_key: &PublicKey, secret_key: &SecretKey) -> Selfwhere C: Kdf,

Create a new CryptoBox, performing X25519 Diffie-Hellman to derive a shared secret from the provided public and secret keys.

Trait Implementations

impl<C> AeadCore for CryptoBox<C>

type NonceSize = UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UTerm, B1>, B1>, B0>, B0>, B0>

The length of a nonce.

type TagSize = UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UTerm, B1>, B0>, B0>, B0>, B0>

The maximum length of the nonce.

type CiphertextOverhead = UTerm

The upper bound amount of additional space required to support a ciphertext vs. a plaintext.

fn generate_nonce( rng: impl CryptoRng + RngCore ) -> GenericArray<u8, Self::NonceSize>where GenericArray<u8, Self::NonceSize>: Default,

Available on crate feature rand_core only.

Generate a random nonce for this AEAD algorithm.

impl<C> AeadInPlace for CryptoBox<C>where C: Kdf + KeyIvInit + KeySizeUser<KeySize = U32> + IvSizeUser<IvSize = U8> + StreamCipher,

fn encrypt_in_place( &self, nonce: &GenericArray<u8, Self::NonceSize>, associated_data: &[u8], buffer: &mut dyn Buffer ) -> Result<(), Error>

Encrypt the given buffer containing a plaintext message in-place.

fn encrypt_in_place_detached( &self, nonce: &GenericArray<u8, Self::NonceSize>, associated_data: &[u8], buffer: &mut [u8] ) -> Result<Tag, Error>

Encrypt the data in-place, returning the authentication tag

fn decrypt_in_place( &self, nonce: &GenericArray<u8, Self::NonceSize>, associated_data: &[u8], buffer: &mut dyn Buffer ) -> Result<(), Error>

Decrypt the message in-place, returning an error in the event the provided authentication tag does not match the given ciphertext.

fn decrypt_in_place_detached( &self, nonce: &GenericArray<u8, Self::NonceSize>, associated_data: &[u8], buffer: &mut [u8], tag: &Tag ) -> Result<(), Error>

Decrypt the message in-place, returning an error in the event the provided authentication tag does not match the given ciphertext (i.e. ciphertext is modified/unauthentic)

impl<C: Clone> Clone for CryptoBox<C>

fn clone(&self) -> CryptoBox<C>

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
