Installation

CocoaPods

In your Podfile add:

pod 'AeroGearCrypto'

and then:

pod install

to install your dependencies

Usage

Password based key derivation

AGPBKDF2 *pbkdf2 = [[AGPBKDF2 alloc] init];
NSData *rawKey = [pbkdf2 deriveKey:@"passphrase"];

Symmetric encryption

//Generate the key
AGPBKDF2 *pbkdf2 = [[AGPBKDF2 alloc] init];
NSData *privateKey = [pbkdf2 deriveKey:@"passphrase"];

//Initializes the secret box
AGSecretBox *secretBox = [[AGSecretBox alloc] initWithKey:privateKey];

//Encryption
NSData *nonce = [AGRandomGenerator randomBytes:32];
NSData *dataToEncrypt = [@"My bonnie lies over the ocean" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSData *cipherData = [secretBox encrypt:dataToEncrypt nonce:nonce];

//Decryption
AGSecretBox *pandora = [[AGSecretBox alloc] initWithKey:privateKey];
NSData *message = [secretBox decrypt:cipherData nonce:nonce];

Asymmetric encryption

//Create a new key pair
AGKeyPair *keyPairBob = [[AGKeyPair alloc] init];
AGKeyPair *keyPairAlice = [[AGKeyPair alloc] init];

//Initializes the crypto box
AGCryptoBox *cryptoBox = [[AGCryptoBox alloc] initWithKey:keyPairAlice.publicKey privateKey:keyPairBob.privateKey];

NSData *nonce = [AGRandomGenerator randomBytes:32];
NSData *dataToEncrypt = [@"My bonnie lies over the ocean" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSData *cipherData = [cryptoBox encrypt:dataToEncrypt nonce:nonce];

//Create a new box to test end to end asymmetric encryption
AGCryptoBox *pandora = [[AGCryptoBox alloc] initWithKey:keyPairBob.publicKey privateKey:keyPairAlice.privateKey];

NSData *message = [pandora decrypt:cipherData nonce:nonce];

Hashing functions

// create an SHA256 hash
AGHash *agHash = [[AGHash alloc] init:CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH];
NSData *rawPassword = [agHash digest:@"My bonnie lies over the ocean"];

// create an SHA512 hash
AGHash *agHash = [[AGHash alloc] init:CC_SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH];
NSData *rawPassword = [agHash digest:@"My bonnie lies over the ocean"];

Digital Signatures

NSData *message = [@"My bonnie lies over the ocean" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    
AGSigningKey *signingKey = [[AGSigningKey alloc] init];
AGVerifyKey *verifyKey = [[AGVerifyKey alloc] initWithKey:signingKey.publicKey];
// sign the message
NSData *signedMessage = [signingKey sign:message];

// should detect corrupted signature
NSMutableData *corruptedSignature = [NSMutableData dataWithLength:64];
BOOL isValid = [verifyKey verify:message signature:signedMessage];
   
// isValid should be YES
BOOL isValid = [verifyKey verify:message signature:corruptedSignature];
// isValid should be NO

Generation of Cryptographically secure Random Numbers

NSData *random = [AGRandomGenerator randomBytes:<length>];
