cipher-salad-backend

A super small backend written for cipher-salad. This project makes use of another Go project developed in-house: teach-la-go-backend-tinycrypt, by Tomoki of the Teach LA dev team and ACM Design. Endpoint documentation below:

GET /cipher/:wordHash

Example Request

GET /cipher/cipher-salad-backend

Example Response

Status Code: 200 (OK)

{
    "shamt": 12,
    "plaintext": "this is what we will encode"

All failed or invalid requests will be met with a non-200 response and an error message.

POST /cipher

{
    "shamt": 1,
    "plaintext": "This is the content that was shifted by one."
}

three-word-hash

This three word hash can then be used in a call to GET /cipher/three-word-hash.

All failed or invalid requests will be met with a non-201, non-200 response and an error message.

Implementation Details

Aliases are actually just map[string]strings that hold a single value, whose field is specified through the aliasID constant in be.go.

All firebase operations are carried out in transactions.
