Secured-Cipher Library

Overview

secured-cipher is a Rust library offering an implementation of the ChaCha20 and Poly1305 algorithms. It provides both high-level and low-level cryptographic functionalities through a common interface.

Features

• High-level interfaces for ChaCha20 cipher and Poly1305 authenticator.
• Common Cipher interface for encryption and decryption operations.
• core module with low-level crypto operations
• Flexible usage with support for both raw and high-level cryptographic operations.

Basic Encryption and Decryption Example

Encrypt and decrypt data using the ChaCha20 cipher:

use secured_cipher::Cipher;

let key: [u8; 32] = [0; 32]; // Your key
let nonce: [u8; 12] = [0; 12]; // Your nonce
let data: &[u8] = b"Your data here"; // Data to be encrypted

let mut cipher = Cipher::default();
cipher.init(&key, &nonce);

// Encrypt and decrypt
let encrypted_data = cipher.encrypt(data);
let decrypted_data = cipher.decrypt(&encrypted_data);

// Sign
let signed_secret_envelope = cipher.sign(b"your readable header", &encrypted_data);

// Decrypt and verify
let verified_decrypted_data = cipher.decrypt_and_verify(&signed_secret_envelope);
assert!(verified_decrypted_data.is_ok());

println!("Decrypted and verified data: {:?}", verified_decrypted_data.unwrap());
