libsodium_crypto_stream_xsalsa20 (libsodium v3.0.1)
View SourceThe XSalsa20 stream cipher: Salsa20 extended with a 192-bit nonce, which
is long enough to be chosen at random for every message. It is the cipher
behind libsodium_crypto_stream and libsodium_crypto_secretbox.
crypto_stream_xsalsa20/3 returns raw keystream, 'xor'/3 encrypts or
decrypts by combining a message with it, and xor_ic/4 starts at a given
64-byte block counter.
This is not authenticated encryption: ciphertexts can be modified without
detection, so pair it with a MAC or use libsodium_crypto_secretbox
instead. A nonce must never be reused with the same key.
K = libsodium_crypto_stream_xsalsa20:keygen(),
N = libsodium_randombytes:buf(libsodium_crypto_stream_xsalsa20:noncebytes()),
C = libsodium_crypto_stream_xsalsa20:'xor'(<<"message">>, N, K),
<<"message">> = libsodium_crypto_stream_xsalsa20:'xor'(C, N, K).Summary
Types
A crypto_stream_xsalsa20_KEYBYTES (32-byte) binary.
A crypto_stream_xsalsa20_NONCEBYTES (24-byte) binary.
Functions
Return CLen bytes of keystream for the noncebytes/0 byte nonce N and the keybytes/0 byte key K.
Return crypto_stream_xsalsa20_keybytes(), in bytes.
Generate a random keybytes/0 byte key.
Return crypto_stream_xsalsa20_messagebytes_max(), in bytes.
Return crypto_stream_xsalsa20_noncebytes(), in bytes.
Encrypt or decrypt M by combining it with the keystream for the nonce
N and key K, starting at block counter 0.
Like 'xor'/3, but start at the 64-byte block counter IC, so the
message is combined with the keystream from byte IC * 64 onwards.
