vlang / libsodium Goto Github PK

When I want to generate a new verify key I call this method new_signing_key and then it will generate a new signing key containing verify_key and public_key inside it.

    verify_key: libsodium.VerifyKey{
        public_key: [3,21,......]
    }
}

What i want to access this public_key, I did

 verify_key.public_key

and because this is not public I can't access it and got this error

 error: field `libsodium.VerifyKey.public_key` is not public

so there is any way to do it or i can edit it and make a pull request?
thanks

Hi,
I've followed official libsodium docs and implemented typesafe abstractions over those functions. Goal was to prevent abuse and get better error checking.
It depends on PR #11
You can find them in following branch https://github.com/d-p-y/libsodium/tree/extensions
Question: would you be interested in upstreaming those changes into vlang/libsodium in some form?

sign with private key
use public key to test the signature

e.g. https://pynacl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/signing/#example

Hi,
can you please specify license for this repo? I would like to contribute but lack of license causes uncertainty.
Thank you

Great to see libsodium support for V! I am finding a way to securely store user passwords, is there any plan to support crypto_pwhash?

Edit

Currently trying to giving a try to contribute with the few C skill I have 😅

in all example priv key is being generated
we need a way how to import a key

eg.
https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/secret-key_cryptography/encrypted-messages

maybe we need to make some nicer vlang wrapper for it if possible

python version, good to see how they made it easy from python
https://pynacl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/secret/#example

I can't use private key encryption because nonce is different for the client and the server. Is there a way to use libsodium to encrypt and decrypt with the same private key on the client and on the server ?
Thanks per advance 😄

think https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/public-key_cryptography/authenticated_encryption can be used as example

in python there are good examples as well
https://pynacl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/public/#nacl-public-box

purpose is to encrypt with public key of destination
destination person uses private key to decrypt

Curve25519 should be the std

I use currently use smallstep cli for secretbox encryption and I thought it would be nice to rewrite the command in V.
The code was very easy to write. However, current V secretbox implementation does not expose the nonce so it is not possible to inter-operate with smallstep cli, or even with another V process.

My workaround was to to make nonce pub mut in smallstep.v, and change the type from current [24]byte to []byte. I now pass the nonce on the command line to both smallstep and my sbox cli.

Thank you for porting libsodium to V!
