Password derivation

If you're not using an encryption key but directly using the user password, you must first run a key derivation routine on it.

byte[] pass = Key.deriveHmac256FromPass(null, "user-pass");

and then you can use:

byte[] key = Key.KeySize.AES_128.genKeysHmacSha(pass);

AES CBC

AES CBC encryption is HMACed and the result message contains

version byte
secure random iv
hmac
cipher message

import crypto.AES;
import crypto.Key;
import crypto.Util;


// generate some random data to encrypt
byte[] pass = crypto.Util.genData(4096);

byte[] someData = "Some Data".getBytes();

// generate encryption and authentication keys
Key.ExpandedKey key = Key.KeySize.AES_128.genKeysHmacSha(pass);

// encrypt the data
byte[] encryptedData = crypto.AES.encryptCBC(key, someData);

// decrypt it
byte[] decryptedData = crypto.AES.decryptCBC(key, encryptedData);

AES GCM

AES GCM encryption is authenticated (so no HMAC is required).
The result message contains:

version byte
secure random iv
cipher message

import crypto.AES;
import crypto.Key;
import crypto.Util;


// generate some random data to encrypt
byte[] pass = crypto.Util.genData(4096);

byte[] someData = "Some Data".getBytes();

// generate encryption and authentication keys
Key.ExpandedKey key = Key.KeySize.AES_128.genKeysHmacSha(pass);

// encrypt the data
byte[] encryptedData = crypto.AES.encryptGCM(key, someData);

// decrypt it
byte[] decryptedData = crypto.AES.decryptGCM(key, encryptedData);
