A minimal crypto library for ESP8266 Arduino

ESP8266 Crypto

This is a minimal, lightweight crypto library for the ESP8266 IOT device. It provides the following functions:

• SHA256
• AES 128 and 256
• SHA256HMAC
• RNG

The SHA256 and AES implementations are based upon the implementations in axTLS except ported to the ESP8266 Arduino platform, credit to Cameron Rich for the axTLS project.

Usage

SHA256HMAC

The following snippet demonstrates how to compute the SHA256 HMAC authentication code for a message.

/* Include the crypto library into your project */
#include <Crypto.h>

/* The length of the key we will use for this HMAC */
/* The key can be of any length, 16 and 32 are common */
#define KEY_LENGTH 16

/* Define our */
byte key[KEY_LENGTH] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15};

/* Create the HMAC instance with our key */
SHA256HMAC hmac(key, KEY_LENGTH);

/* Update the HMAC with just a plain string (null terminated) */
hmac.doUpdate("Hello World");

/* And or with a string and length */
const char *goodbye = "GoodBye World";
hmac.doUpdate(goodbye, strlen(goodbye));

/* And or with a binary message */
byte message[10] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
hmac.doUpdate(message, sizeof(message));

/* Finish the HMAC calculation and return the authentication code */
byte authCode[SHA256HMAC_SIZE];
hmac.doFinal(authCode);

/* authCode now contains our 32 byte authentication code */
for (byte i; i < SHA256HMAC_SIZE; i++)
{
    Serial.print(authCode[i], HEX);
}

SHA256

The following snippet demonstrates how to compute the SHA256 hash of a message.

/* Create a SHA256 hash */
SHA256 hasher;

/* Update the hash with your message, as many times as you like */
const char *hello = "Hello World";
hasher.doUpdate(hello, strlen(hello));

/* Update the hash with just a plain string*/
hasher.doUpdate("Goodbye World");

/* Update the hash with a binary message */
byte message[10] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
hasher.doUpdate(message, sizeof(message));

/* Compute the final hash */
byte hash[SHA256_SIZE];
hasher.doFinal(hash);

/* hash now contains our 32 byte hash */
for (byte i; i < SHA256_SIZE; i++)
{
    Serial.print(hash[i], HEX);
}

AES-128

#include <Crypto.h>
#include <base64.hpp>

#define BLOCK_SIZE 16

uint8_t key[BLOCK_SIZE] = { 0x1C,0x3E,0x4B,0xAF,0x13,0x4A,0x89,0xC3,0xF3,0x87,0x4F,0xBC,0xD7,0xF3, 0x31, 0x31 };
uint8_t iv[BLOCK_SIZE] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

void bufferSize(char* text, int &length)
{
  int i = strlen(text);
  int buf = round(i / BLOCK_SIZE) * BLOCK_SIZE;
  length = (buf <= i) ? buf + BLOCK_SIZE : length = buf;
}
    
void encrypt(char* plain_text, char* output, int length)
{
  byte enciphered[length];
  RNG::fill(iv, BLOCK_SIZE); 
  AES aesEncryptor(key, iv, AES::AES_MODE_128, AES::CIPHER_ENCRYPT);
  aesEncryptor.process((uint8_t*)plain_text, enciphered, length);
  int encrypted_size = sizeof(enciphered);
  char encoded[encrypted_size];
  encode_base64(enciphered, encrypted_size, (unsigned char*)encoded);
  strcpy(output, encoded);
}

void decrypt(char* enciphered, char* output, int length)
{
  length = length + 1; //re-adjust
  char decoded[length];
  decode_base64((unsigned char*)enciphered, (unsigned char*)decoded);
  bufferSize(enciphered, length);
  byte deciphered[length];
  AES aesDecryptor(key, iv, AES::AES_MODE_128, AES::CIPHER_DECRYPT);
  aesDecryptor.process((uint8_t*)decoded, deciphered, length);
  strcpy(output, (char*)deciphered);
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; //wait
  }
}

void loop() {
  char plain_text[] = "1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF";
  
  // encrypt
  int length = 0;
  bufferSize(plain_text, length);
  char encrypted[length];
  encrypt(plain_text, encrypted, length);

  Serial.println("");
  Serial.print("Encrypted: ");
  Serial.println(encrypted); 

  // decrypt
  length = strlen(encrypted);
  char decrypted[length];
  decrypt(encrypted, decrypted, length);

  Serial.print("Decrypted: ");
  Serial.println(decrypted);

  delay(5000);
}
