AEAD is a cipher mode providing authenticated encryption with associated data. For a description of the methodology, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authenticated_encryption
type AEAD interface { // NonceSize returns the size of the nonce that must be passed to Seal // and Open. NonceSize() int // Overhead returns the maximum difference between the lengths of a // plaintext and its ciphertext. Overhead() int // Seal encrypts and authenticates plaintext, authenticates the // additional data and appends the result to dst, returning the updated // slice. The nonce must be NonceSize() bytes long and unique for all // time, for a given key. // // The plaintext and dst must overlap exactly or not at all. To reuse // plaintext's storage for the encrypted output, use plaintext[:0] as dst. Seal(dst, nonce, plaintext, additionalData []byte) []byte // Open decrypts and authenticates ciphertext, authenticates the // additional data and, if successful, appends the resulting plaintext // to dst, returning the updated slice. The nonce must be NonceSize() // bytes long and both it and the additional data must match the // value passed to Seal. // // The ciphertext and dst must overlap exactly or not at all. To reuse // ciphertext's storage for the decrypted output, use ciphertext[:0] as dst. // // Even if the function fails, the contents of dst, up to its capacity, // may be overwritten. Open(dst, nonce, ciphertext, additionalData []byte) ([]byte, error) }
func NewGCM(cipher Block) (AEAD, error)
NewGCM returns the given 128-bit, block cipher wrapped in Galois Counter Mode with the standard nonce length.
In general, the GHASH operation performed by this implementation of GCM is not constant-time. An exception is when the underlying Block was created by aes.NewCipher on systems with hardware support for AES. See the crypto/aes package documentation for details.

func NewGCMWithNonceSize(cipher Block, size int) (AEAD, error)
NewGCMWithNonceSize returns the given 128-bit, block cipher wrapped in Galois Counter Mode, which accepts nonces of the given length.
Only use this function if you require compatibility with an existing cryptosystem that uses non-standard nonce lengths. All other users should use NewGCM, which is faster and more resistant to misuse.
A Block represents an implementation of block cipher using a given key. It provides the capability to encrypt or decrypt individual blocks. The mode implementations extend that capability to streams of blocks.
type Block interface { // BlockSize returns the cipher's block size. BlockSize() int // Encrypt encrypts the first block in src into dst. // Dst and src must overlap entirely or not at all. Encrypt(dst, src []byte) // Decrypt decrypts the first block in src into dst. // Dst and src must overlap entirely or not at all. Decrypt(dst, src []byte) }
A BlockMode represents a block cipher running in a block-based mode (CBC, ECB etc).
type BlockMode interface { // BlockSize returns the mode's block size. BlockSize() int // CryptBlocks encrypts or decrypts a number of blocks. The length of // src must be a multiple of the block size. Dst and src must overlap // entirely or not at all. // // If len(dst) < len(src), CryptBlocks should panic. It is acceptable // to pass a dst bigger than src, and in that case, CryptBlocks will // only update dst[:len(src)] and will not touch the rest of dst. // // Multiple calls to CryptBlocks behave as if the concatenation of // the src buffers was passed in a single run. That is, BlockMode // maintains state and does not reset at each CryptBlocks call. CryptBlocks(dst, src []byte) }
func NewCBCDecrypter(b Block, iv []byte) BlockMode
NewCBCDecrypter returns a BlockMode which decrypts in cipher block chaining mode, using the given Block. The length of iv must be the same as the Block's block size and must match the iv used to encrypt the data.
▹ Example
func NewCBCEncrypter(b Block, iv []byte) BlockMode
NewCBCEncrypter returns a BlockMode which encrypts in cipher block chaining mode, using the given Block. The length of iv must be the same as the Block's block size.
▹ Example
A Stream represents a stream cipher.
type Stream interface { // XORKeyStream XORs each byte in the given slice with a byte from the // cipher's key stream. Dst and src must overlap entirely or not at all. // // If len(dst) < len(src), XORKeyStream should panic. It is acceptable // to pass a dst bigger than src, and in that case, XORKeyStream will // only update dst[:len(src)] and will not touch the rest of dst. // // Multiple calls to XORKeyStream behave as if the concatenation of // the src buffers was passed in a single run. That is, Stream // maintains state and does not reset at each XORKeyStream call. XORKeyStream(dst, src []byte) }
func NewCFBDecrypter(block Block, iv []byte) Stream
NewCFBDecrypter returns a Stream which decrypts with cipher feedback mode, using the given Block. The iv must be the same length as the Block's block size.
▹ Example
func NewCFBEncrypter(block Block, iv []byte) Stream
NewCFBEncrypter returns a Stream which encrypts with cipher feedback mode, using the given Block. The iv must be the same length as the Block's block size.
▹ Example
func NewCTR(block Block, iv []byte) Stream
NewCTR returns a Stream which encrypts/decrypts using the given Block in counter mode. The length of iv must be the same as the Block's block size.
▹ Example
func NewOFB(b Block, iv []byte) Stream
NewOFB returns a Stream that encrypts or decrypts using the block cipher b in output feedback mode. The initialization vector iv's length must be equal to b's block size.
▹ Example
StreamReader wraps a Stream into an io.Reader. It calls XORKeyStream to process each slice of data which passes through.
type StreamReader struct { S Stream R io.Reader }
▹ Example
func (r StreamReader) Read(dst []byte) (n int, err error)
StreamWriter wraps a Stream into an io.Writer. It calls XORKeyStream to process each slice of data which passes through. If any Write call returns short then the StreamWriter is out of sync and must be discarded. A StreamWriter has no internal buffering; Close does not need to be called to flush write data.
type StreamWriter struct { S Stream W io.Writer Err error // unused }
▹ Example
func (w StreamWriter) Close() error
Close closes the underlying Writer and returns its Close return value, if the Writer is also an io.Closer. Otherwise it returns nil.
func (w StreamWriter) Write(src []byte) (n int, err error)
