Crypto.Saltine.Core.AEAD
Description
Secret-key authenticated encryption with additional data (AEAD): Crypto.Saltine.Core.AEAD
The aead function encrypts and authenticates a message
ByteString and additional authenticated data ByteString
using a secret key and a nonce. The aeadOpen
function verifies and decrypts a ciphertext ByteString using a
secret key and a nonce. If the ciphertext fails validation,
aeadOpen returns Nothing.
The Crypto.Saltine.Core.AEAD module is designed to meet the standard notions of privacy and authenticity for a secret-key authenticated-encryption scheme using nonces. For formal definitions see, e.g., Bellare and Namprempre, "Authenticated encryption: relations among notions and analysis of the generic composition paradigm," Lecture Notes in Computer Science 1976 (2000), 531–545, http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/~mihir/papers/oem.html.
Note that the length is not hidden. Note also that it is the caller's responsibility to ensure the uniqueness of nonces—for example, by using nonce 1 for the first message, nonce 2 for the second message, etc. With XChaCha20Poly1305 nonces are long enough that you can also generate nonces randomly as they have negligible risk of collision.
The keysize is identical for all the *ChaCha20Poly1305* variants, but the nonce length differs. Since libsodium keeps separate definitions, we do the same.
This module reexports the XChaCha20Poly1305 variant, which is the recommended one.
