Overview ▾

Package cipher implements standard block cipher modes that can be wrapped around low-level block cipher implementations. See http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/toolkit/BCM/current_modes.html and NIST Special Publication 800-38A.

type Block

type Block interface {
    // BlockSize returns the cipher's block size.
    BlockSize() int

    // Encrypt encrypts the first block in src into dst.
    // Dst and src may point at the same memory.
    Encrypt(dst, src []byte)

    // Decrypt decrypts the first block in src into dst.
    // Dst and src may point at the same memory.
    Decrypt(dst, src []byte)
}

A Block represents an implementation of block cipher using a given key. It provides the capability to encrypt or decrypt individual blocks. The mode implementations extend that capability to streams of blocks.

type BlockMode

type BlockMode interface {
    // BlockSize returns the mode's block size.
    BlockSize() int

    // CryptBlocks encrypts or decrypts a number of blocks. The length of
    // src must be a multiple of the block size. Dst and src may point to
    // the same memory.
    CryptBlocks(dst, src []byte)
}

A BlockMode represents a block cipher running in a block-based mode (CBC, ECB etc).

func NewCBCDecrypter

func NewCBCDecrypter(b Block, iv []byte) BlockMode

NewCBCDecrypter returns a BlockMode which decrypts in cipher block chaining mode, using the given Block. The length of iv must be the same as the Block's block size and must match the iv used to encrypt the data.

Example

func NewCBCEncrypter

func NewCBCEncrypter(b Block, iv []byte) BlockMode

NewCBCEncrypter returns a BlockMode which encrypts in cipher block chaining mode, using the given Block. The length of iv must be the same as the Block's block size.

Example

type Stream

type Stream interface {
    // XORKeyStream XORs each byte in the given slice with a byte from the
    // cipher's key stream. Dst and src may point to the same memory.
    XORKeyStream(dst, src []byte)
}

A Stream represents a stream cipher.

func NewCFBDecrypter

func NewCFBDecrypter(block Block, iv []byte) Stream

NewCFBDecrypter returns a Stream which decrypts with cipher feedback mode, using the given Block. The iv must be the same length as the Block's block size.

Example

some plaintext

func NewCFBEncrypter

func NewCFBEncrypter(block Block, iv []byte) Stream

NewCFBEncrypter returns a Stream which encrypts with cipher feedback mode, using the given Block. The iv must be the same length as the Block's block size.

Example

func NewCTR

func NewCTR(block Block, iv []byte) Stream

NewCTR returns a Stream which encrypts/decrypts using the given Block in counter mode. The length of iv must be the same as the Block's block size.

Example

some plaintext

func NewOFB

func NewOFB(b Block, iv []byte) Stream

NewOFB returns a Stream that encrypts or decrypts using the block cipher b in output feedback mode. The initialization vector iv's length must be equal to b's block size.

Example

some plaintext

type StreamReader

type StreamReader struct {
    S Stream
    R io.Reader
}

StreamReader wraps a Stream into an io.Reader. It calls XORKeyStream to process each slice of data which passes through.

Example

func (StreamReader) Read

func (r StreamReader) Read(dst []byte) (n int, err error)

type StreamWriter

type StreamWriter struct {
    S   Stream
    W   io.Writer
    Err error // unused
}

StreamWriter wraps a Stream into an io.Writer. It calls XORKeyStream to process each slice of data which passes through. If any Write call returns short then the StreamWriter is out of sync and must be discarded.

Example

func (StreamWriter) Close

func (w StreamWriter) Close() error

func (StreamWriter) Write

func (w StreamWriter) Write(src []byte) (n int, err error)
