Databridges NACL wrapper gives you a simple write and read function using implementation of the secretbox encryption standard defined in NaCl.

Databridges NACL wrapper is available for

• JavaScript
• NodeJS
• C#
• Python
• Java for Android
• iOS Swift

The above wrappers can be used to send encrypted messages between them.

The Databridges NACL wrapper for iOS Swift Language binding uses TweetNacl to deliver implementation of the secretbox encryption standard defined in NaCl.

Installation.

To add databridges_nacl_wrapper package dependency to your Xcode project, select File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency... and enter repository URL https://github.com/databridges-io/lib.ios.nacl.wrapper.git.

When you enter the package dependency’s URL, choose Version package requirements, select the latest version. Xcode resolves and fetches the package dependency. Select the package’s products that you need, and add them to targets in your project.

In Xcode Project navigator, the Swift Package Dependencies section shows the newly added databridges_nacl_wrapper package dependency. Click the disclosure triangle to view the contents of the package as it exists locally on your Mac.

Initialization

import databridges_nacl_wrapper
public var secretData:databridges_nacl_wrapper =  databridges_nacl_wrapper()

Global Configuration

Required

The following is the required properties before using to dataBridges NaCl wrapper.

secretData.secret = '32 char alphanumeric string'

Properties	Description
secret	(string) 32 char alpha numeric string. NaCl encryption secret.

Encrypt data

To encrypt data using NaCl, databridges wrapper exposes a method named write, This will return encrypted data if successful else it will throw error.

write()

do {
    let encData = try secretData.write("Your Data..")
    print("Encrypted:", encData) 
} catch {
    let err = error as?  dbnwError
    print("Errors:" ,  err!.source , err!.code , err!.message)
}

Parameter	Description
data	(string) data to be encrypted.

Return Values	Description
string	Encrypted string.

Exceptions:

Source	Code	Description
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	INVALID_SECRET	secret is not set with the wrapper instance.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	INVALID_DATA	If data is not passed to the function.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	NACL_EXCEPTION	Exceptions generated by NaCl library.

Decrypt data

To decrypt data using NaCl, databridges wrapper exposes a method named read, This will return decrypted data if successful else it will throw error.

read()

do {
    let decData = try secretData.read("<Encrypted data.>")
    print("Decrypted:", decData)
} catch {
    let err = error as?  dbnwError
    print("Errors:" ,  err!.source , err!.code , err!.message)
}

Parameter	Description
data	(string) data to be encrypted.

Return Values	Description
string	Encrypted string.

Exceptions:

Source	Code	Description
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	INVALID_SECRET	secret is not set with the wrapper instance.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	INVALID_DATA	If data is not passed to the function OR data is not a valid encrypted string.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	NACL_EXCEPTION	Exceptions generated by NaCl library.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	NACL_DECRYPT_FAILED	If decryption fails due to invalid secret or manipulated data.

How to use with Databridges iOS Swift Library

Below code shows how to integrate the NaCl wrapper with the Databridges library. After initialize you can use the wrapper library to encrypt and decrypt the data when publishing and receiving events.

// Initialize both databridges-sio-client-lib and databridges-nacl-wrapper
import databridges_sio_swift_client
import databridges_nacl_wrapper

public var dbridge:databridges_sio_swift_client =  databridges_sio_swift_client()
public var secretData:databridges_nacl_wrapper = databridges_nacl_wrapper()

secretData.secret = "Your32 char secret.";

// .... Your databridges code comes here.

// On Subscription success event.
try? self.subscribeChannel?.bind("dbridges:subscribe.success", {(event: Any, metadata: MetaData) in
    var mflag:Bool = false
    var encData:String = ""
    do {
        encData = try secretData.write("Your Data..");
        mflag = true
    } catch {
        let db = error as?  dbnwError
        print("Error :" ,  db!.source , db!.code , db!.message)
    }
    if mflag {
        try? self.subscribeChannel?.publish("eventName", encData, 1)
    }
});

// On payload Received event.
try? self.subscribeChannel?.bind("eventName", {(event: Any, metadata: MetaData) in
    var decData:String = ""
    do {
        decData = try secretData.read((event as! String))
    } catch {
        let db = error as? dbnwError
        print("Error :", db!.source, db!.code, db!.message)
    }
    if !decData.isEmpty {
        print("Decrypted: \(String(describing: decData))" )
    }
});
