Kotlin Multiplatform Crypto Library

Kotlin Multiplatform Crypto is a library for various cryptographic applications.

This is an extremely early release, currently only consisting of Blake2b and SHA256 and 512.

API is very opinionated, ment to be used on both encrypting and decrypting side. The idea is that API leaves less room for errors when using it.

Notes & Roadmap

The API will move fast and break often until v1.0

Make SHA hashes "updatable" like Blake2b

After that tenative plan is to add 25519 curve based signing and key exchange next.

Should I use this in production?

No.

Should I use this in code that is critical in any way, shape or form?

No.

Why?

This is an experimental implementation, mostly for expanding personal understanding of cryptography. It's not peer reviewed, not guaranteed to be bug free, and not guaranteed to be secure.

Usage

Hashes

Hashes are provided in two versions, "stateless", usually the companion object of the hash, which takes the data to be hashed in one go, and "updatable" which can be fed data in chunks.

Blake2b

You can use Blake 2b in two modes

Stateless version

You need to deliver the complete data that is to be hashed in one go

val input = "abc"
val result = Blake2b.digest(input)

Result is returned as a Array<Byte>

Updatable instance version

You can create an instance and feed the data by using update(input : Array<Byte>) call. Once all data is supplied, you should call digest() or digestString() convenience method that converts the Array<Byte> into hexadecimal string.

If you want to use Blake2b with a key, you should supply it when creating the Blake2b instance.

val test = "abc"
val key = "key"
val blake2b = Blake2b(key)
blake2b.update(test)
val result = blake2b.digest()

After digest is called, the instance is reset and can be reused (Keep in mind key stays the same for the particular instance).

SHA2 (SHA256 and SHA512)

Stateless version

You need to deliver the complete data that is to be hashed in one go. You can either provide the Array<Byte> as input or String. Result is always returned as Array<Byte> (At least in verision 0.0.1)

val input = "abc"
val result = Sha256.digest(input)

val input ="abc"
val result = Sha512.digest(message = input.encodeToByteArray().map { it.toUByte() }.toTypedArray())

Result is returned as a Array<Byte>

Updateable version

Or you can use the updatable instance version

val sha256 = Sha256()
sha256.update("abc")
val result = sha256.digest()

val sha512 = Sha512()
sha512.update("abc")
val result = sha512.digest()

Symmetric encryption

AES

Aes is available with CBC and CTR mode through AesCbc and AesCtr classes/objects. Similarly to hashes you can either use stateless or updateable version.

Initialization vector, or counter states are chosen by the SDK automaticaly, and returned alongside encrypted data

Stateless AesCbc and AesCtr

AesCtr

val keyString = "4278b840fb44aaa757c1bf04acbe1a3e"
val key = AesKey.Aes128Key(keyString)
val plainText = "6bc1bee22e409f96e93d7e117393172aae2d8a571e03ac9c9eb76fac45af8e5130c81c46a35ce411e5fbc1191a0a52eff69f2445df4f9b17ad2b417be66c3710"

val encryptedDataAndInitializationVector = AesCtr.encrypt(key, plainText.hexStringToUByteArray())
val decrypted = AesCtr.decrypt(
    key,
    encryptedDataAndInitializationVector.encryptedData,
    encryptedDataAndInitializationVector.initialCounter
)
plainText == decrypted.toHexString()

AesCbc

val keyString = "4278b840fb44aaa757c1bf04acbe1a3e"
val key = AesKey.Aes128Key(keyString)

val plainText = "3c888bbbb1a8eb9f3e9b87acaad986c466e2f7071c83083b8a557971918850e5"

val encryptedDataAndInitializationVector = AesCbc.encrypt(key, plainText.hexStringToUByteArray())
val decrypted = AesCbc.decrypt(
    key,
    encryptedDataAndInitializationVector.encryptedData,
    encryptedDataAndInitializationVector.initilizationVector
)
plainText == decrypted.toHexString()
