Izokatu

Izokatu is Ruby library that provides abstact interface for private-key and public-key cryptography using RbNaCl and OpenSSL.

Features

• Unified interaction with RbNaCL and OpenSSL via Izokatu#call
• Strong defaults:
  • RbNaCl private-key cryptography - XChaCha20Poly1305IETF
  • RbNaCl public-key cryptography - Curve25519XSalsa20Poly1305
  • OpenSSL private-key cryptography - AES-256-GCM
  • OpenSSL public-key RSA cryptography - 4096 bit key
  • OpenSSL hybrid EC (ECIES) cryptography:
    • Public-key part - secp521r1
    • Private-key part - AES-256-CTR
• 2 Import modes: :function(default, gets data from options), :file
• 3 Export modes: :function(default, just returns result), :file, :stdout

Installation

gem install izokatu

Lost my access to rubygems acc, confirmation email are not received on mail, docs for gem are deleted (https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/izokatu), but early version gem itself is available. Don't use izokatu from rubygems.

So, use izokatu from git:

gem 'izokatu', :git => 'https://gitlab.com/mongalless/izokatu.git in Gemfile

Or download .gem file in root and execute:

gem install ./path_to_gem_file/gem_file

If you have trouble installing the gem, file a ticket on the issues page.

Usage

RbNaCl private key cryptography

encrypted_data = Izokatu.call(clear_data_string: 'Some data')
Izokatu.call(action: :decryption, **encrypted_data)
=> {:decrypted_data_string=>"Some data"}

RbNaCl public key cryptography

keypair1 = Izokatu.call(action: :keys_generation, mode: :public_key)
keypair2 = Izokatu.call(action: :keys_generation, mode: :public_key)
encrypted_data = Izokatu.call(
  clear_data_string: 'Some data',
  mode: :public_key,
  public_key: keypair1[:public_key],
  private_key: keypair2[:private_key]
)
Izokatu.call(
  action: :decryption,
  mode: :public_key,
  **encrypted_data,
  public_key: keypair2[:public_key],
  private_key: keypair1[:private_key]
)
=> {:decrypted_data_string=>"Some data"}

OpenSSL private key cryptography

encrypted_data = Izokatu.call(
  clear_data_string: 'Some data',
  via: :openssl,
  cipher: 'AES-256-GCM'
)
Izokatu.call(
  action: :decryption,
  **encrypted_data,
  via: :openssl,
  cipher: 'AES-256-GCM'
)
=> {:decrypted_data_string=>"Some data"}

OpenSSL EC public key cryptography

keypair_options = {
  action: :keys_generation,
  mode: :public_key,
  via: :openssl
}
keypair1 = Izokatu.call(keypair_options)
keypair2 = Izokatu.call(keypair_options)
encrypted_data = Izokatu.call(
  clear_data_string: 'Some data',
  mode: :public_key,
  via: :openssl,
  public_key:
  keypair1[:public_key],
  private_key: keypair2[:private_key]
)
Izokatu.call(
  action: :decryption,
  mode: :public_key,
  via: :openssl,
  **encrypted_data,
  public_key: keypair2[:public_key],
  private_key: keypair1[:private_key]
)
=> {:decrypted_data_string=>"Some data"}

OpenSSL RSA public key cryptography

keypair_options = {
  action: :keys_generation,
  mode: :public_key,
  via: :openssl,
  asym_cipher_type: :rsa,
  bit_number: 4096
}
keypair1 = Izokatu.call(keypair_options)
keypair2 = Izokatu.call(keypair_options)
encrypted_data = Izokatu.call(
  clear_data_string: 'Some data',
  mode: :public_key,
  via: :openssl,
  public_key: keypair1[:public_key],
  private_key: keypair2[:private_key],
  asym_cipher_type: :rsa
)
Izokatu.call(
  action: :decryption,
  mode: :public_key,
  via: :openssl,
  **encrypted_data,
  public_key: keypair2[:public_key],
  private_key: keypair1[:private_key],
  asym_cipher_type: :rsa
)
=> {:decrypted_data_string=>"Some data"}

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
