Safe Rust bindings to Microsoft Windows
[Cryptography API : Next Generation (CNG)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccng/cng-portal)
CNG are cryptographic primitives and utilities provided by the operating system and/or hardware. It is available since
Windows Vista and replaces the now deprecated
[CryptoAPI](https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/win32/seccrypto/cryptography-portal).
The primitives do **not** depend on OpenSSL or other libraries of the sort, they are provided by Microsoft and/or by
the hardware manufacturer. They are the primitives used in kernel space programs. Therefore, if you are using Microsoft
Windows, you already accepted to trust these primitives.
## CNG Features
- Validated by FIPS 140-2 and part of the Target of Evaluation for the Windows Common Criteria certification
- Full support for NSA Suite B algorithms
- Kernel support (not through the Rust bindings)
- Auditing in the key storage provider (KSP)
- Thread safe
## Supported features in Rust
- Asymmetric encryption (RSA)
- Digital signatures
- Supported algorithms: RSA, DSA, ECDSA.
- Key exchange
- Supported algorithms: DH, ECDH.
- Symmetric encryption
- Supported algorithms: AES, DES, DES-X, RC2, 3DES, 3DES-112.
- Supported chaining modes: ECB, CBC, CFB.
- Hash functions
- Supported algorithms: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, MD2, MD4, MD5.
- Cryptographically secure random number generation
*More to come*
## Cargo features
- `zeroize` - Uses `zeroize` crate to zero intermediate buffers on destruction
- `rand` - Implements `rand` crate traits for the CNG-provided CSPRNG
(cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator)
- `block-cipher` - Implements `block-cipher` traits for CNG block ciphers.
By default, only the `zeroize` feature is enabled.
## Examples
### Asymmetric encryption (RSA)
```rust
use win_crypto_ng::asymmetric::{AsymmetricKey, EncryptionPadding, Rsa};
let key = AsymmetricKey::builder(Rsa).key_bits(1024).build().unwrap();
let plaintext = b"This is an important message.";
let padding = Some(EncryptionPadding::Pkcs1);
let ciphertext = key.encrypt(padding.clone(), &*plaintext).unwrap();
assert_eq!(ciphertext.len(), 1024 / 8);
let decoded = key.decrypt(padding, ciphertext.as_ref()).unwrap();
assert_eq!(plaintext, decoded.as_ref());
```
### Digital signatures
```rust
use win_crypto_ng::asymmetric::signature::{Signer, Verifier, SignaturePadding};
use win_crypto_ng::asymmetric::{AsymmetricKey, Rsa};
use win_crypto_ng::hash::HashAlgorithmId;
let key = AsymmetricKey::builder(Rsa).key_bits(1024).build().unwrap();
let data: Vec<u8> = (0..32).collect();
let padding = SignaturePadding::pkcs1(HashAlgorithmId::Sha256);
let signature = key.sign(&*data, Some(padding)).expect("Signing to succeed");
key.verify(&data, &signature, Some(padding)).expect("Signature to be valid");
key.verify(&[0xDE, 0xAD], &signature, Some(padding)).expect_err("Bad digest");
key.verify(&data, &[0xDE, 0xAD], Some(padding)).expect_err("Bad signature");
```
### Symmetric encryption
```rust
use win_crypto_ng::symmetric::{ChainingMode, SymmetricAlgorithm, SymmetricAlgorithmId, Padding};
const KEY: &'static str = "0123456789ABCDEF";
const IV: &'static str = "asdfqwerasdfqwer";
const DATA: &'static str = "This is a test.";
let iv = IV.as_bytes().to_vec();
let algo = SymmetricAlgorithm::open(SymmetricAlgorithmId::Aes, ChainingMode::Cbc).unwrap();
let key = algo.new_key(KEY.as_bytes()).unwrap();
let ciphertext = key.encrypt(Some(&mut iv.clone()), DATA.as_bytes(), Some(Padding::Block)).unwrap();
let plaintext = key.decrypt(Some(&mut iv.clone()), ciphertext.as_slice(), Some(Padding::Block)).unwrap();
assert_eq!(std::str::from_utf8(&plaintext.as_slice()[..DATA.len()]).unwrap(), DATA);
```
### Hash functions
```rust
use win_crypto_ng::hash::{HashAlgorithm, HashAlgorithmId};
const DATA: &'static str = "This is a test.";
let algo = HashAlgorithm::open(HashAlgorithmId::Sha256).unwrap();
let mut hash = algo.new_hash().unwrap();
hash.hash(DATA.as_bytes()).unwrap();
let result = hash.finish().unwrap();
assert_eq!(result.as_slice(), &[
0xA8, 0xA2, 0xF6, 0xEB, 0xE2, 0x86, 0x69, 0x7C,
0x52, 0x7E, 0xB3, 0x5A, 0x58, 0xB5, 0x53, 0x95,
0x32, 0xE9, 0xB3, 0xAE, 0x3B, 0x64, 0xD4, 0xEB,
0x0A, 0x46, 0xFB, 0x65, 0x7B, 0x41, 0x56, 0x2C,
]);
```
### Cryptographically secure random number generator
```rust
use win_crypto_ng::random::{RandomAlgorithmId, RandomNumberGenerator};
let mut buffer = [0u8; 32];
let rng = RandomNumberGenerator::system_preferred();
rng.gen_random(&mut buffer).unwrap();
assert_ne!(&buffer, &[0u8; 32]);
```
