Overview

Package stupidgcm is a thin wrapper for OpenSSL's GCM encryption and decryption functions. It only support 32-byte keys and 16-bit IVs.

Constants

const (
	// BuiltWithoutOpenssl indicates if openssl been disabled at compile-time
	BuiltWithoutOpenssl = false
)

Variables

var ErrAuth = fmt.Errorf("stupidgcm: message authentication failed")

ErrAuth is returned when the message authentication fails

Functions

func New

func New(keyIn []byte, forceDecode bool) cipher.AEAD

New returns a new cipher.AEAD implementation..

Types

type StupidGCM

type StupidGCM struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

StupidGCM implements the cipher.AEAD interface

func (*StupidGCM) NonceSize

func (g *StupidGCM) NonceSize() int

NonceSize returns the required size of the nonce / IV.

func (*StupidGCM) Open

func (g *StupidGCM) Open(dst, iv, in, authData []byte) ([]byte, error)

Open decrypts "in" using "iv" and "authData" and append the result to "dst"

func (*StupidGCM) Overhead

func (g *StupidGCM) Overhead() int

Overhead returns the number of bytes that are added for authentication.

func (*StupidGCM) Seal

func (g *StupidGCM) Seal(dst, iv, in, authData []byte) []byte

Seal encrypts "in" using "iv" and "authData" and append the result to "dst"

func (*StupidGCM) Wipe

func (g *StupidGCM) Wipe()

Wipe tries to wipe the AES key from memory by overwriting it with zeros and setting the reference to nil.

This is not bulletproof due to possible GC copies, but still raises to bar for extracting the key.
