Recrypt WebAssembly Binding

This repository contains bindings to allow Recrypt to be used as a WebAssembly module within the browser. It depends on recrypt-rs as a dependency and contains shims both in Rust and JS to marshal data between WebAssembly and JavaScript. The bindings are generated using wasm-bindgen.

Install

npm install @ironcorelabs/recrypt-wasm-binding

Examples

The following examples show how to use this library from a browser-based web application. This library will need to be loaded with a module bundler such as webpack in order to correctly handle importing of ES6 modules and to properly load and instantiate the WebAssembly module. This module will also need to be loaded asynchronously if used via webpack. Refer to the webpack.config.js file which shows how this module is loaded for benchmarks and unit tests which are both run within the browser.

Basic Encrypt/Decrypt Example

import * as Recrypt from "@ironcorelabs/recrypt-wasm-binding";

//Create a new Recrypt API instance
const Api256 = new Recrypt.Api256();

//Generate both a user key pair and a signing key pair
const keys = Api256.generateKeyPair();
const signingKeys = Api256.generateEd25519KeyPair();

//Generate a plaintext to encrypt
const plaintext = Api256.generatePlaintext();

//Encrypt the data to the public key and then attempt to decrypt with the private key
const encryptedValue = Api256.encrypt(plaintext, keys.publicKey, signingKeys.privateKey);
const decryptedValue = Api256.decrypt(encryptedValue, keys.privateKey);

decryptedValue === plaintext; //true

Single-hop Transform Encryption Example

import * as Recrypt from "@ironcorelabs/recrypt-wasm-binding";

//Create a new Recrypt API instance
const Api256 = new Recrypt.Api256();

//Generate both a user key pair and a signing key pair
const userKeys = Api256.generateKeyPair();
const signingKeys = Api256.generateEd25519KeyPair();

//Generate a plaintext to encrypt
const plaintext = Api256.generatePlaintext();

//Encrypt the data to the user public key
const encryptedValue = Api256.encrypt(plaintext, userKeys.publicKey, signingKeys.privateKey);

//Generate a second public/private key pair as the target of the transform. This will allow the encrypted data to be
//transformed to this second key pair and allow it to be decrypted.
const deviceKeys = Api256.generateKeyPair();

//Generate a transform key from the user private key to the device public key
const userToDeviceTransformKey = Api256.generateTransformKey(userKeys.privateKey, deviceKeys.publicKey, signingKeys.privateKey);

//Transform the encrypted data (without decrypting it!) so that it can be decrypted with the second key pair
const transformedEncryptedValue = Api256.transform(encryptedValue, userToDeviceTransformKey, signingKeys.privateKey);

//Decrypt the data using the second private key
const decryptedValue = Api256.decrypt(transformedEncryptedValue, deviceKeys.privateKey);

decryptedValue === plaintext; //true

Types

This library contains a TypeScript definitions file which shows the available classes and methods.

Local Environment Setup

A few things are required as dependencies locally before you're able to run the benchmarks and unit tests for this library.

Install Rust. You must have Rust installed in order to compile the Rust bindings to WASM
Proper Rust target: Run rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown to add the wasm32-unknown-unknown target to Rust which is required to compile to WASM.
Install wasm-bindgen via cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli.
Run yarn from the root of this repo to install all JS dependencies.

Compiling WebAssembly Module

Run the yarn compile to compile the Rust code and generate a WASM module. The resulting .wasm file and wasm-bindgen shim will be generated in the target directory. By default we compile in release mode. Compiling is required before running either the unit tests or benchmarks below.

Benchmarks

Make sure you run yarn compile first.

In order to run the benchmarks in the browser you can run yarn benchmark. This will startup a webpack server at http://localhost:8080 which when opened will automatically start running the unit tests and display the results to the screen and developer console.

Unit Tests

Make sure you run yarn compile first.

Unit tests can be run in two ways

yarn test will run the tests via the command line via Chrome Headless and report the results at the end.
yarn testInBrowser will startup a webpack server at http://localhost:8080 which you can visit to see the results of the test within the browser directly.
