1//! # rainier-crypt
2//!
3//! Reversible encryption and message signing — Laravel's `Crypt`, plus the
4//! signing half that Laravel spreads across signed URLs and cookie
5//! integrity.
6//!
7//! ```
8//! use rainier_crypt::{Encryption, Key, KeyRing};
9//!
10//! # fn main() -> rainier_support::Result<()> {
11//! let crypt = Encryption::from_keys(KeyRing::new(Key::generate()));
12//!
13//! let sealed = crypt.encrypt("a card number")?;
14//! assert_eq!(crypt.decrypt(&sealed)?, "a card number");
15//!
16//! // Signed, not sealed: the value stays readable, but not writable.
17//! let signed = crypt.sign("unsubscribe-42")?;
18//! assert!(signed.starts_with("unsubscribe-42."));
19//! assert_eq!(crypt.verify(&signed)?, "unsubscribe-42");
20//! # Ok(()) }
21//! ```
22//!
23//! ## Encrypt or sign?
24//!
25//! | | Hidden | Tamper-evident | Use for |
26//! |---|---|---|---|
27//! | [`encrypt`](Encryption::encrypt) | yes | yes | anything the client must not read |
28//! | [`sign`](Encryption::sign) | no | yes | anything the client may read but not change |
29//!
30//! Reach for signing when the value is not a secret. An unsubscribe link, a
31//! reset token, a "remember this choice" cookie — encrypting those makes them
32//! opaque in your own logs for no gain.
33//!
34//! ## This is not password hashing
35//!
36//! Passwords are hashed, never encrypted, and that lives in `rainier-auth`'s
37//! `Hasher`. If you can get the value back out, it is the wrong tool for a
38//! password — see the [hashing docs](https://github.com/safewords/rainier-framework/blob/main/docs/hashing.md).
39//!
40//! ## Rotation is designed in
41//!
42//! Every payload records which key produced it, and a [`KeyRing`] holds one
43//! current key plus any number of retired ones. Rotating is a deploy:
44//!
45//! ```
46//! # use rainier_crypt::{Encryption, Key, KeyRing};
47//! # fn main() -> rainier_support::Result<()> {
48//! # let retired = Key::generate();
49//! # let sealed = Encryption::from_keys(KeyRing::new(retired.clone())).encrypt("old")?;
50//! let crypt = Encryption::from_keys(
51//!     KeyRing::new(Key::generate()).with_previous(retired),
52//! );
53//!
54//! // Written with the old key, still readable; anything new uses the new one.
55//! assert_eq!(crypt.decrypt(&sealed)?, "old");
56//! # Ok(()) }
57//! ```
58//!
59//! Retrofitting that is painful, which is why it is here from the first
60//! release rather than deferred until a key is known to have leaked.
