Install

With a correctly configured Go toolchain:

go get -u github.com/dmalix/secretdata

Algorithm

When encrypting and decrypting a dataset, the secret key is forced hashed to generate a 32-byte key for use with AES-256. The Secret Data library uses AEAD, an encryption mode that provides authenticated encryption of associated data. For a description of the methodology, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authenticated_encryption

Quick Start

Create a new Secret Data instance and set a secret key:

secretDataInstance := secretdata.NewSecretData("secret")

Encrypt a dataset:

dataset := []byte("dataset")
encryptedData, err := secretDataInstance.Encrypt(dataset)
if err != nil {
   log.Fatal(err)
}

And decrypt a dataset:

decryptedData, err := secretDataInstance.Decrypt(encryptedData)
if err != nil {
   log.Fatal(err)
}
