Let's take a look at the Dapr [cryptography building block](todo). In this Quickstart, you'll create an application that encrypts and decrypts data using the Dapr cryptography APIs. You'll:

- Encrypt and then decrypt a short string, reading the result in-memory, in a Go byte slice.
- Encrypt and then decrypt a large file, storing the encrypted and decrypted data to files using streams.
- Encrypt and then decrypt a short string (using an RSA key), reading the result in-memory, in a Go byte slice.
- Encrypt and then decrypt a large file (using an AES key), storing the encrypted and decrypted data to files using streams.

This example uses the Dapr SDK. Using the Dapr SDK, which leverages gRPC internally, is **strongly** recommended when using cryptographic APIs (to encrypt and decrypt messages).

### What happened?

#### `local-storage.yaml`

Earlier, you created a directory inside `crypto-quickstarts` called `keys`. In [the `local-storage` component YAML](https://github.com/ItalyPaleAle/dapr-quickstarts/blob/crypto-go/cryptography/components/local-storage.yaml), the `path` metadata maps to the newly created `keys` directory.

```yml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: localstorage
spec:
type: crypto.dapr.localstorage
version: v1
metadata:
- name: path
# Path is relative to the folder where the example is located
value: ./keys
```

#### `app.go`

[The application file](https://github.com/ItalyPaleAle/dapr-quickstarts/blob/crypto-go/cryptography/go/sdk/crypto-quickstart/app.go) encrypts and decrypts messages and files using the RSA and AES keys that you generated in the terminal. The application creates a new Dapr SDK client:

```go
func main() {
// Create a new Dapr SDK client
client, err := dapr.NewClient()

//...

// Step 1: encrypt a string using the RSA key, then decrypt it and show the output in the terminal
encryptDecryptString(client)

// Step 2: encrypt a large file and then decrypt it, using the AES key
encryptDecryptFile(client)
}
```

##### Encrypting and decrypting a string using the RSA key

Once the client is created, the application encrypts a message:

```go
func encryptDecryptString(client dapr.Client) {
// ...

// Encrypt the message
encStream, err := client.Encrypt(context.Background(),
strings.NewReader(message),
dapr.EncryptOptions{
ComponentName: CryptoComponentName,
// Name of the key to use
// Since this is a RSA key, we specify that as key wrapping algorithm
KeyName: RSAKeyName,
KeyWrapAlgorithm: "RSA",
},
)

// ...

// The method returns a readable stream, which we read in full in memory
encBytes, err := io.ReadAll(encStream)
// ...

fmt.Printf("Encrypted the message, got %d bytes\n", len(encBytes))
```
The application then decrypts the message:
```go
// Now, decrypt the encrypted data
decStream, err := client.Decrypt(context.Background(),
bytes.NewReader(encBytes),
dapr.DecryptOptions{
// We just need to pass the name of the component
ComponentName: CryptoComponentName,
// Passing the name of the key is optional
KeyName: RSAKeyName,
},
)

// ...

// The method returns a readable stream, which we read in full in memory
decBytes, err := io.ReadAll(decStream)

// ...

// Print the message on the console
fmt.Printf("Decrypted the message, got %d bytes\n", len(decBytes))
fmt.Println(string(decBytes))
}
```

##### Encrypt and decrpyt a large file using the AES key

Next, the application encrypts a large image file:

```go
func encryptDecryptFile(client dapr.Client) {
const fileName = "liuguangxi-66ouBTTs_x0-unsplash.jpg"

// Get a readable stream to the input file
plaintextF, err := os.Open(fileName)

// ...

defer plaintextF.Close()

// Encrypt the file
encStream, err := client.Encrypt(context.Background(),
plaintextF,
dapr.EncryptOptions{
ComponentName: CryptoComponentName,
// Name of the key to use
// Since this is a symmetric key, we specify AES as key wrapping algorithm
KeyName: SymmetricKeyName,
KeyWrapAlgorithm: "AES",
},
)

// ...

// Write the encrypted data to a file "encrypted.out"
encryptedF, err := os.Create("encrypted.out")

// ...

encryptedF.Close()

fmt.Println("Wrote decrypted data to encrypted.out")
```
The application then decrypts the large image file:
```go
// Now, decrypt the encrypted data
// First, open the file "encrypted.out" again, this time for reading
encryptedF, err = os.Open("encrypted.out")

// ...

defer encryptedF.Close()

// Now, decrypt the encrypted data
decStream, err := client.Decrypt(context.Background(),
encryptedF,
dapr.DecryptOptions{
// We just need to pass the name of the component
ComponentName: CryptoComponentName,
// Passing the name of the key is optional
KeyName: SymmetricKeyName,
},
)

// ...

// Write the decrypted data to a file "decrypted.out.jpg"
decryptedF, err := os.Create("decrypted.out.jpg")

// ...

decryptedF.Close()

fmt.Println("Wrote decrypted data to decrypted.out.jpg")
}
```
