Automatic key generation

getKey Source

:: FilePath File name where key is stored. -> IO Word256 The actual 256-bit key. Get a 256-bit key from the given text file. If the file does not exist, or did not contain enough bits, a random key will be generated and stored in that file.

defaultKeyFile :: String Source

The default key file.

getDefaultKey :: IO Word256 Source

Simply calls getKey "client_session_key.aes"

Actual encryption/decryption

encrypt Source

:: AESKey k => k The key used for encryption. -> ByteString The data to encrypt. -> String Encrypted and encoded data. Encrypt with the given key and base-64 encode. A hash is stored inside the encrypted key so that, upon decryption, integrity can be guaranteed.

decrypt Source

:: (AESKey k, Monad m, Failure ClientSessionException m) => k The key used for encryption. -> String Data to decrypt. -> m ByteString The decrypted data, if possible. Base-64 decode and decrypt with the given key, if possible. Calls failure if either the original string is not a valid base-64 encoded string, or the hash at the beginning of the decrypted string does not match.
