Nuxed Crypto
============

[](#nuxed-crypto)

The Nuxed Crypto component provides a high-level cryptography interface that relies on libsodium for all of its underlying cryptography operations.

inspired by [`Halite`](https://github.com/paragonie/halite).

### Important

[](#important)

Although this library has developed with care, it has not been examined by security experts, there will always be a chance that we overlooked something. Please ask your favourite trusted hackers to hammer it for implementation errors and bugs before even thinking about deploying it in production.

### Installation

[](#installation)

This package can be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org).

```
$ composer require nuxed/crypto
```

### Example

[](#example)

```
use namespace Nuxed\{Crypto, Filesystem};
use namespace Nuxed\Crypto\Symmetric;

async function main(): Awaitable {
  // generate a key :
  $key = Symmetric\Encryption\Key::generate();

  // or load a stored encryption key :
  $file = new Filesystem\File('/path/to/encryption.key');
  $key = $key = Symmetric\Encryption\Key::import(
    new Crypto\HiddenString(await $file->read())
  );

  $message = new Crypto\HiddenString('Hello, World!');
  $ciphertext = Symmetric\Encryption\encrypt($message, $key);
  $plaintext = Symmetric\Encryption\decrypt($ciphertext, $key);

  print $plaintext->toString(); // Hello, World!
}
```
