rabbitio

rabbitio is a rabbit stream cipher packge based on RFC 4503 for golang
rabbit is a super-fast lightweight stream cipher which uses a 128-bit key and a 64-bit initialization vector, this cipher was designed in 2003 and released in 2008

this is a mirror repository, rabbitio also lives on snix.ir public git service

usage and docs

simple encrypt/decrypting plain text and cipher text with rabbitio
key must be exactly 16 byte len, iv is optional but must be either zero (for nothing) or 8 byte len
you can replace "snix.ir/rabbitio" with "github.com/sina-ghaderi/rabbitio" to use github mirror repository

package main
import (
  "encoding/hex"
  "fmt"
  
  "snix.ir/rabbitio"
)


func main() {
    key := []byte("key-gen-rabbitio")
    ivx := []byte("abcd8795")
    ptx := "plain text -- dummy text to encrypt and decrypt with rabbit"
    str, err := rabbitio.NewCipher(key, ivx)
    if err != nil { panic(err) }
  
    cpt := make([]byte, len(ptx))
    str.XORKeyStream(cpt, []byte(ptx))
    fmt.Println("cipher text ---:", hex.EncodeToString(cpt))
  
    str, err = rabbitio.NewCipher(key, ivx)
    if err != nil { panic(err) }
  
    // decrypt cipher text and print orginal text
    plx := make([]byte, len(cpt))
    str.XORKeyStream(plx, cpt)
    fmt.Println("plain text ----:", string(plx))
}

io interfaces, reader and writer methods: working with writer

package main
import (
	"bytes"
	"encoding/hex"
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"strings"

	"snix.ir/rabbitio"
)

func main() {
	key, ivt := []byte("12345678abcdefgh"), []byte("1234qwer")
	txt := "dummy text to test NewWriterCipher"
	twr := strings.NewReader(txt)
	iw := new(bytes.Buffer)
	cw, err := rabbitio.NewWriterCipher(key, ivt, iw)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	if _, err := io.Copy(cw, twr); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println("cipher-text:", hex.EncodeToString(iw.Bytes()))
	fmt.Println("decrypting cipher text ---")
	ir := new(bytes.Buffer)
	cr, err := rabbitio.NewWriterCipher(key, ivt, ir)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	if _, err := io.Copy(cr, iw); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(ir.String())
}
