To install CryptoSwift, add it as a submodule to your project (on the top level project directory):
git submodule add https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/CryptoSwift.git
It is recommended to enable Whole-Module Optimization to gain better performance. Non-optimized build results in significantly worse performance.
Embedded frameworks require a minimum deployment target of iOS 8 or OS X Mavericks (10.9). Drag the CryptoSwift.xcodeproj
file into your Xcode project, and add appropriate framework as a dependency to your target. Now select your App and choose the General tab for the app target. Find Embedded Binaries and press "+", then select CryptoSwift.framework
(iOS, OS X, watchOS or tvOS)
Sometimes "embedded framework" option is not available. In that case, you have to add new build phase for the target
In the project, you'll find single scheme for all platforms:
- CryptoSwift
- Swift 1.2: branch swift12 version <= 0.0.13
- Swift 2.1: branch swift21 version <= 0.2.3
- Swift 2.2, 2.3: branch swift2 version <= 0.5.2
- Swift 3.1, branch swift3 version <= 0.6.9
- Swift 3.2, branch swift32 version = 0.7.0
- Swift 4.0, branch swift4 version <= 0.12.0
- Swift 4.2, branch swift42 version <= 0.15.0
- Swift 5.0, branch master
You can use CocoaPods.
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'MyApp' do
pod 'CryptoSwift'
end
or for newest version from specified branch of code:
pod 'CryptoSwift', :git => "https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/CryptoSwift", :branch => "master"
Bear in mind that CocoaPods will build CryptoSwift without Whole-Module Optimization that may impact performance. You can change it manually after installation, or use cocoapods-wholemodule plugin.
You can use Carthage. Specify in Cartfile:
github "krzyzanowskim/CryptoSwift"
Run carthage
to build the framework and drag the built CryptoSwift.framework into your Xcode project. Follow build instructions. Common issues.
You can use Accio. Specify in Package.swift:
.package(url: "https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/CryptoSwift.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "1.0.0")),
Next, add CryptoSwift
to your App targets dependencies like so:
.target(
name: "App",
dependencies: [
"CryptoSwift",
]
),
Then run accio update
.
You can use Swift Package Manager and specify dependency in Package.swift
by adding this:
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/CryptoSwift.git", .upToNextMinor(from: "1.0.0"))
]
or more strict
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/CryptoSwift.git", .exact("1.0.0"))
]

import CryptoSwift
CryptoSwift uses array of bytes aka Array<UInt8>
as a base type for all operations. Every data may be converted to a stream of bytes. You will find convenience functions that accept String
or Data
, and it will be internally converted to the array of bytes.
For your convenience, CryptoSwift provides two functions to easily convert an array of bytes to Data
or Data
to an array of bytes:
Data from bytes:
let data = Data( [0x01, 0x02, 0x03])
Data
to Array<UInt8>
let bytes = data.bytes // [1,2,3]
Hexadecimal encoding:
let bytes = Array<UInt8>(hex: "0x010203") // [1,2,3]
let hex = bytes.toHexString() // "010203"
Build bytes out of String
let bytes: Array<UInt8> = "cipherkey".bytes // Array("cipherkey".utf8)
Also... check out helpers that work with Base64 encoded data:
"aPf/i9th9iX+vf49eR7PYk2q7S5xmm3jkRLejgzHNJs=".decryptBase64ToString(cipher)
"aPf/i9th9iX+vf49eR7PYk2q7S5xmm3jkRLejgzHNJs=".decryptBase64(cipher)
bytes.toBase64()
Hashing a data or array of bytes (aka Array<UInt8>
)
/* Hash struct usage */
let bytes:Array<UInt8> = [0x01, 0x02, 0x03]
let digest = input.md5()
let digest = Digest.md5(bytes)
let data = Data( [0x01, 0x02, 0x03])
let hash = data.md5()
let hash = data.sha1()
let hash = data.sha224()
let hash = data.sha256()
let hash = data.sha384()
let hash = data.sha512()
do {
var digest = MD5()
let partial1 = try digest.update(withBytes: [0x31, 0x32])
let partial2 = try digest.update(withBytes: [0x33])
let result = try digest.finish()
} catch { }
Hashing a String and printing result
let hash = "123".md5() // "123".bytes.md5()
bytes.crc16()
data.crc16()
bytes.crc32()
data.crc32()
// Calculate Message Authentication Code (MAC) for message
let key:Array<UInt8> = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,...]
try Poly1305(key: key).authenticate(bytes)
try HMAC(key: key, variant: .sha256).authenticate(bytes)
try CMAC(key: key).authenticate(bytes)
let password: Array<UInt8> = Array("s33krit".utf8)
let salt: Array<UInt8> = Array("nacllcan".utf8)
let key = try PKCS5.PBKDF2(password: password, salt: salt, iterations: 4096, keyLength: 32, variant: .sha256).calculate()
let password: Array<UInt8> = Array("s33krit".utf8)
let salt: Array<UInt8> = Array("nacllcan".utf8)
// Scrypt implementation does not implement work parallelization, so `p` parameter will
// increase the work time even in multicore systems
let key = try Scrypt(password: password, salt: salt, dkLen: 64, N: 16384, r: 8, p: 1).calculate()
let password: Array<UInt8> = Array("s33krit".utf8)
let salt: Array<UInt8> = Array("nacllcan".utf8)
let key = try HKDF(password: password, salt: salt, variant: .sha256).calculate()
Some content-encryption algorithms assume the input length is a multiple of k
octets, where k
is greater than one. For such algorithms, the input shall be padded.
Padding.pkcs7.add(to: bytes, blockSize: AES.blockSize)
let encrypted = try ChaCha20(key: key, iv: iv).encrypt(message)
let decrypted = try ChaCha20(key: key, iv: iv).decrypt(encrypted)
let encrypted = try Rabbit(key: key, iv: iv).encrypt(message)
let decrypted = try Rabbit(key: key, iv: iv).decrypt(encrypted)
let encrypted = try Blowfish(key: key, blockMode: CBC(iv: iv), padding: .pkcs7).encrypt(message)
let decrypted = try Blowfish(key: key, blockMode: CBC(iv: iv), padding: .pkcs7).decrypt(encrypted)
Notice regarding padding: Manual padding of data is optional, and CryptoSwift is using PKCS7 padding by default. If you need to manually disable/enable padding, you can do this by setting parameter for AES class
Variant of AES encryption (AES-128, AES-192, AES-256) depends on given key length:
- AES-128 = 16 bytes
- AES-192 = 24 bytes
- AES-256 = 32 bytes
AES-256 example
try AES(key: [1,2,3,...,32], blockMode: CBC(iv: [1,2,3,...,16]), padding: .pkcs7)
do {
let aes = try AES(key: "keykeykeykeykeyk", iv: "drowssapdrowssap") // aes128
let ciphertext = try aes.encrypt(Array("Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo.".utf8))
} catch { }
Incremental operations use instance of Cryptor and encrypt/decrypt one part at a time, this way you can save on memory for large files.
do {
var encryptor = try AES(key: "keykeykeykeykeyk", iv: "drowssapdrowssap").makeEncryptor()
var ciphertext = Array<UInt8>()
// aggregate partial results
ciphertext += try encryptor.update(withBytes: Array("Nullam quis risus ".utf8))
ciphertext += try encryptor.update(withBytes: Array("eget urna mollis ".utf8))
ciphertext += try encryptor.update(withBytes: Array("ornare vel eu leo.".utf8))
// finish at the end
ciphertext += try encryptor.finish()
print(ciphertext.toHexString())
} catch {
print(error)
}
See Playground for sample code that work with stream.
let input: Array<UInt8> = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
let key: Array<UInt8> = [0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00]
let iv: Array<UInt8> = AES.randomIV(AES.blockSize)
do {
let encrypted = try AES(key: key, blockMode: CBC(iv: iv), padding: .pkcs7).encrypt(input)
let decrypted = try AES(key: key, blockMode: CBC(iv: iv), padding: .pkcs7).decrypt(encrypted)
} catch {
print(error)
}
AES without data padding
let input: Array<UInt8> = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
let encrypted: Array<UInt8> = try! AES(key: Array("secret0key000000".utf8), blockMode: CBC(iv: Array("0123456789012345".utf8)), padding: .noPadding).encrypt(input)
Using convenience extensions
let plain = Data( [0x01, 0x02, 0x03])
let encrypted = try! plain.encrypt(ChaCha20(key: key, iv: iv))
let decrypted = try! encrypted.decrypt(ChaCha20(key: key, iv: iv))
The result of Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) encryption is ciphertext and authentication tag, that is later used to decryption.
encryption
do {
// In combined mode, the authentication tag is directly appended to the encrypted message. This is usually what you want.
let gcm = GCM(iv: iv, mode: .combined)
let aes = try AES(key: key, blockMode: gcm, padding: .noPadding)
let encrypted = try aes.encrypt(plaintext)
let tag = gcm.authenticationTag
catch {
// failed
}
decryption
do {
// In combined mode, the authentication tag is appended to the encrypted message. This is usually what you want.
let gcm = GCM(iv: iv, mode: .combined)
let aes = try AES(key: key, blockMode: gcm, padding: .noPadding)
return try aes.decrypt(encrypted)
} catch {
// failed
}
Note: GCM instance is not intended to be reused. So you can't use the same GCM
instance from encoding to also perform decoding.
The result of Counter with Cipher Block Chaining-Message Authentication Code encryption is ciphertext and authentication tag, that is later used to decryption.
do {
// The authentication tag is appended to the encrypted message.
let tagLength = 8
let ccm = CCM(iv: iv, tagLength: tagLength, messageLength: ciphertext.count - tagLength, additionalAuthenticatedData: data)
let aes = try AES(key: key, blockMode: ccm, padding: .noPadding)
return try aes.decrypt(encrypted)
} catch {
// failed
}
Check documentation or CCM specification for valid parameters for CCM.
let encrypt = try AEADChaCha20Poly1305.encrypt(plaintext, key: key, iv: nonce, authenticationHeader: header)
let decrypt = try AEADChaCha20Poly1305.decrypt(ciphertext, key: key, iv: nonce, authenticationHeader: header, authenticationTag: tagArr: tag)
