Documentation

Overview

Package ecdh encrypts and decrypts data using elliptic curve keys. Data is encrypted with AES-128-CBC with HMAC-SHA1 message tags using ECDHE to generate a shared key. The P256 curve is chosen in keeping with the use of AES-128 for encryption.

Functions

func Decrypt

func Decrypt(priv *ecdsa.PrivateKey, in []byte) (out []byte, err error)

Decrypt authenticates and recovers the original message from its input using the private key and the ephemeral key included in the message.

func Encrypt

func Encrypt(pub *ecdsa.PublicKey, in []byte) (out []byte, err error)

Encrypt secures and authenticates its input using the public key using ECDHE with AES-128-CBC-HMAC-SHA1.
