## Description: `crypto` is a module that exposes cryptographic algorithms to V programs. Each submodule implements things differently, so be sure to consider the documentation of the specific algorithm you need, but in general, the method is to create a `cipher` struct using one of the module functions, and then to call the `encrypt` or `decrypt` method on that struct to actually encrypt or decrypt your data. This module is a work-in-progress. For example, the AES implementation currently requires you to create a destination buffer of the correct size to receive the decrypted data, and the AesCipher `encrypt` and `decrypt` functions only operate on the first block of the `src`. The implementations here are loosely based on [Go's crypto package](https://pkg.go.dev/crypto). ## Examples: ### AES: ```v import crypto.aes import crypto.rand fn main() { // remember to save this key somewhere if you ever want to decrypt your data key := rand.bytes(32)? println('KEY: $key') // this data is one block (16 bytes) big mut data := 'THIS IS THE DATA'.bytes() println('generating cipher') cipher := aes.new_cipher(key) println('performing encryption') mut encrypted := []u8{len: aes.block_size} cipher.encrypt(mut encrypted, data) println(encrypted) println('performing decryption') mut decrypted := []u8{len: aes.block_size} cipher.decrypt(mut decrypted, encrypted) println(decrypted) assert decrypted == data } ``` ### JWT: ```v import crypto.hmac import crypto.sha256 import encoding.base64 import json struct JwtHeader { alg string typ string } struct JwtPayload { sub string name string iat int } fn main() { token := make_token() println(token) } fn make_token() string { secret := 'your-256-bit-secret' header := base64.url_encode(json.encode(JwtHeader{'HS256', 'JWT'}).bytes()) payload := base64.url_encode(json.encode(JwtPayload{'1234567890', 'John Doe', 1516239022}).bytes()) signature := base64.url_encode(hmac.new(secret.bytes(), '${header}.$payload'.bytes(), sha256.sum, sha256.block_size).bytestr().bytes()) jwt := '${header}.${payload}.$signature' return jwt } ```
