/* CBC describes a block cipher mode. In cryptography, a block cipher mode of operation is an algorithm that uses a block cipher to provide an information service such as confidentiality or authenticity. A block cipher by itself is only suitable for the secure cryptographic transformation (encryption or decryption) of one fixed-length group of bits called a block. A mode of operation describes how to repeatedly apply a cipher's single-block operation to securely transform amounts of data larger than a block. This package simplifies the usage of AES-256-CBC. */ package cipher /* Some code is provided by the GitHub user locked (github.com/locked): https://gist.github.com/locked/b066aa1ddeb2b28e855e Thanks! */ import ( "bytes" "crypto/aes" "crypto/cipher" "crypto/rand" "fmt" "io" ) /* Decrypt is a function that decrypts a given cipher text with a provided key and initialization vector(iv). */ func DecryptCbc(iv, key, ciphertext []byte) ([]byte, error) { block, err := aes.NewCipher(key) if err != nil { return nil, err } if len(ciphertext) < aes.BlockSize { return nil, fmt.Errorf("ciphertext is shorter then block size: %d / %d", len(ciphertext), aes.BlockSize) } if iv == nil { iv = ciphertext[:aes.BlockSize] ciphertext = ciphertext[aes.BlockSize:] } cbc := cipher.NewCBCDecrypter(block, iv) cbc.CryptBlocks(ciphertext, ciphertext) return unpad(ciphertext) } /* Encrypt is a function that encrypts plaintext with a given key and an optional initialization vector(iv). */ func EncryptCbc(iv, key, plaintext []byte) ([]byte, error) { plaintext = pad(plaintext, aes.BlockSize) if len(plaintext)%aes.BlockSize != 0 { return nil, fmt.Errorf("plaintext is not a multiple of the block size: %d / %d", len(plaintext), aes.BlockSize) } block, err := aes.NewCipher(key) if err != nil { return nil, err } var ciphertext []byte if iv == nil { ciphertext = make([]byte, aes.BlockSize+len(plaintext)) iv := ciphertext[:aes.BlockSize] if _, err := io.ReadFull(rand.Reader, iv); err != nil { return nil, err } cbc := cipher.NewCBCEncrypter(block, iv) cbc.CryptBlocks(ciphertext[aes.BlockSize:], plaintext) } else { ciphertext = make([]byte, len(plaintext)) cbc := cipher.NewCBCEncrypter(block, iv) cbc.CryptBlocks(ciphertext, plaintext) } return ciphertext, nil } func pad(ciphertext []byte, blockSize int) []byte { padding := blockSize - len(ciphertext)%blockSize padtext := bytes.Repeat([]byte{byte(padding)}, padding) return append(ciphertext, padtext...) } func unpad(src []byte) ([]byte, error) { length := len(src) padLen := int(src[length-1]) if padLen > length { return nil, fmt.Errorf("padding is greater then the length: %d / %d", padLen, length) } return src[:(length - padLen)], nil }
