encrypt

A set of high-level APIs over PointyCastle for two-way cryptography.

Secure random

You can generate cryptographically secure random keys and IVs for you project.

Activate the encrypt package:

pub global activate encrypt

Then use the secure-random command-line tool:

$ secure-random
CBoaDQIQAgceGg8dFAkMDBEOECEZCxgMBiAUFQwKFhg=

You can set the length and the base output.

$ secure-random --help
-l, --length       The length of the bytes
                   (defaults to "32")

-b, --base         Bytes represented as base 64 or base 16 (Hexdecimal)
                   (defaults to "64")

-h, --[no-]help    Show this help message

Algorithms

Current status is:

• AES with PKCS7 padding
• RSA with PKCS1 and OAEP encoding
• Salsa20

Signing

• SHA256 with RSA

Usage

Symmetric

AES

import 'package:encrypt/encrypt.dart';

void main() {
  final plainText = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit';
  final key = Key.fromUtf8('my 32 length key................');
  final iv = IV.fromLength(16);

  final encrypter = Encrypter(AES(key));

  final encrypted = encrypter.encrypt(plainText, iv: iv);
  final decrypted = encrypter.decrypt(encrypted, iv: iv);

  print(decrypted); // Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit
  print(encrypted.base64); // R4PxiU3h8YoIRqVowBXm36ZcCeNeZ4s1OvVBTfFlZRdmohQqOpPQqD1YecJeZMAop/hZ4OxqgC1WtwvX/hP9mw==
}

Modes of operation

Default mode is SIC AESMode.sic, you can override it using the mode named parameter:

final encrypter = Encrypter(AES(key, mode: AESMode.cbc));

Supported modes are:

• CBC AESMode.cbc
• CFB-64 AESMode.cfb64
• CTR AESMode.ctr
• ECB AESMode.ecb
• OFB-64/GCTR AESMode.ofb64Gctr
• OFB-64 AESMode.ofb64
• SIC AESMode.sic

No/zero padding

To remove padding, pass null to the padding named parameter on the constructor:

final encrypter = Encrypter(AES(key, mode: AESMode.cbc, padding: null));

Salsa20

import 'package:encrypt/encrypt.dart';

void main() {
  final plainText = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit';
  final key = Key.fromLength(32);
  final iv = IV.fromLength(8);
  final encrypter = Encrypter(Salsa20(key));

  final encrypted = encrypter.encrypt(plainText, iv: iv);
  final decrypted = encrypter.decrypt(encrypted, iv: iv);

  print(decrypted); // Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit
  print(encrypted.base64); // CR+IAWBEx3sA/dLkkFM/orYr9KftrGa7lIFSAAmVPbKIOLDOzGwEi9ohstDBqDLIaXMEeulwXQ==
}

Fernet

import 'package:encrypt/encrypt.dart';
import 'dart:convert';

void main() {
  final plainText = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit';
  final key = Key.fromUtf8('my32lengthsupersecretnooneknows1');

  final b64key = Key.fromUtf8(base64Url.encode(key.bytes).substring(0,32));
  // if you need to use the ttl feature, you'll need to use APIs in the algorithm itself
  final fernet = Fernet(b64key);
  final encrypter = Encrypter(fernet);

  final encrypted = encrypter.encrypt(plainText);
  final decrypted = encrypter.decrypt(encrypted);

  print(decrypted); // Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit
  print(encrypted.base64); // random cipher text
  print(fernet.extractTimestamp(encrypted.bytes)); // unix timestamp
}

Asymmetric

RSA

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:encrypt/encrypt.dart';
import 'package:pointycastle/asymmetric/api.dart';

void main() {
  final publicKey = await parseKeyFromFile<RSAPublicKey>('test/public.pem');
  final privKey = await parseKeyFromFile<RSAPrivateKey>('test/private.pem');

  final plainText = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit';
  final encrypter = Encrypter(RSA(publicKey: publicKey, privateKey: privKey));

  final encrypted = encrypter.encrypt(plainText);
  final decrypted = encrypter.decrypt(encrypted);

  print(decrypted); // Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit
  print(encrypted.base64); // kO9EbgbrSwiq0EYz0aBdljHSC/rci2854Qa+nugbhKjidlezNplsEqOxR+pr1RtICZGAtv0YGevJBaRaHS17eHuj7GXo1CM3PR6pjGxrorcwR5Q7/bVEePESsimMbhHWF+AkDIX4v0CwKx9lgaTBgC8/yJKiLmQkyDCj64J3JSE=
}

Signature and verification

RSA

 final publicKey = await parseKeyFromFile<RSAPublicKey>('test/public.pem');
 final privateKey = await parseKeyFromFile<RSAPrivateKey>('test/private.pem');
 final signer = Signer(RSASigner(RSASignDigest.SHA256, publicKey: publicKey, privateKey: privateKey));

 print(signer.sign('hello world').base64);
 print(signer.verify64('hello world', 'jfMhNM2v6hauQr6w3ji0xNOxGInHbeIH3DHlpf2W3vmSMyAuwGHG0KLcunggG4XtZrZPAib7oHaKEAdkHaSIGXAtEqaAvocq138oJ7BEznA4KVYuMcW9c8bRy5E4tUpikTpoO+okHdHr5YLc9y908CAQBVsfhbt0W9NClvDWegs='));
