Expand description
Provides encryption of secret shares to specific recipients using crypto_box
Internally uses dark-crystal-secret-sharing-rust,
which uses sharks for Shamirs secret sharing and xsalsa20poly1305
for authenticated encryption.
This is part of a work-in-progress Rust implementation of the Dark Crystal Key Backup Protocol.
Structs
A set of encrypted shares, together with the public key used for encryption and the encrypted secret
Error type.
A crypto_box public key.
Error created when recovery fails
A crypto_box secret key.
Error created when the share function fails
Error created when share fn fails
Functions
Combine a set of shares and ciphertext produced by share_authenticated
Decrypt a given ciphertext using crypto_box
Decrypt a given ciphertext using crypto_box using a given nonce rather than attaching one to the ciphertext
Give a recommended threshold value for a given number of shares
Encrypt a given message using crypto_box
Encrypt a given message using crypto_box using a given nonce rather than generating one
Create a set of shares and encrypt them to a given set of public keys
Create a set of shares and encrypt them to a given set of public keys but make the shares shorted by using the nonce from the ciphertext when encrypting the shares
Encrypt a secret and create shares of its key. This gives authentication so we know whether recovery was successful It also reduces duplication with long (> 32 bytes) secrets, and improves security when using non-uniformly random secrets such as passwords.
Gives a threshold ‘sanity’ factor, given a threshold and number of shares 0 is ideal. Positive values represent the level of danger of loosing access to the secret. Negative values represent the level of danger of an attacker gaining it.
