Get Involed with Perfect!

Swift 5.2 Platforms OS X | Linux License Apache

Digest, cipher and encoding support for Perfect.

Building

Add this project as a dependency in your Package.swift file.

.package(url: "https://github.com/PerfectlySoft/Perfect-Crypto.git", from: "4.0.0")

Linux Build Notes

Ensure that you have installed libssl-dev. OpenSSL 1.0.2+ is required for this package. On Ubuntu 14 or some Debian distributions you will need to update your OpenSSL before this package will build.

sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev

Overview

This package wraps up some of the functionality provided by OpenSSL and adds a Swift layer on top of it. The main features are:

  • Extensions for String, [UInt8] and UnsafeRawBufferPointer that provide simple encode, decode, digest and cipher operations.
  • JWT (JSON Web Token) generation and validation.
  • Generation of arbitrary amounts of random data.
  • Swift wrappers around OpenSSL BIOs, providing chainable, filterable byte IO sinks and sources.
  • Convenience functions for creating Strings given non-null terminated UTF8 containing UnsafeRawBufferPointer or [UInt8] objects.

Usage Examples

Encode/Decode Hex

let testStr = "Hello, world!"
guard let hexBytes = testStr.encode(.hex) else {
	return
}

String(validatingUTF8: hexBytes) == "48656c6c6f2c20776f726c6421"

guard let unHex = hexBytes.decode(.hex) else {
	return
}

String(validatingUTF8: unHex) == testStr

Encode/Decode Base 64

let testStr = "Hello, world!"
guard let baseBytes = testStr.encode(.base64) else {
	return
}

String(validatingUTF8: baseBytes) == "SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ=="

guard let unBase = baseBytes.decode(.base64) else {
	return
}

String(validatingUTF8: unBase) == testStr

Digest

let testStr = "Hello, world!"
let testAnswer = "315f5bdb76d078c43b8ac0064e4a0164612b1fce77c869345bfc94c75894edd3"
guard let enc = testStr.digest(.sha256)?.encode(.hex) else {
	return
}

String(validatingUTF8: enc) == testAnswer

HMAC Sign/Verify

The following snippet will HMAC-SHA1 sign, encode as base64, then decode, and verify a data string. Replace usages of .sha1 or .base64 depending on your requirements.

let password = "this is a good pw"
let data = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
	
if let signed = data.sign(.sha1, key: HMACKey(password))?.encode(.base64),
	let base64Str = String(validatingUTF8: signed),
	
	let reRawData = base64Str.decode(.base64) {
	
	let verifyResult = data.verify(.sha1, signature: reRawData, key: HMACKey(password))
	XCTAssert(verifyResult)
} else {
	XCTAssert(false, "Failed signing")
}

JSON Web Tokens (JWT)

This crypto package provides an means for creating new JWT tokens and validating existing tokens.

JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. JWTs can be signed using a secret (with the HMAC algorithm) or a public/private key pair using RSA. Source: JWT.

New JWT tokens are created through the JWTCreator object.

/// Creates and signs new JWT tokens.
public struct JWTCreator {
	/// Creates a new JWT token given a payload.
	/// The payload can then be signed to generate a JWT token string.
	public init?(payload: [String:Any])
	/// Sign and return a new JWT token string using an HMAC key.
	/// Additional headers can be optionally provided.
	/// Throws a JWT.Error.signingError if there is a problem generating the token string.
	public func sign(alg: JWT.Alg, key: String, headers: [String:Any] = [:]) throws -> String
	/// Sign and return a new JWT token string using the given key.
	/// Additional headers can be optionally provided.
	/// The key type must be compatible with the indicated `algo`.
	/// Throws a JWT.Error.signingError if there is a problem generating the token string.
	public func sign(alg: JWT.Alg, key: Key, headers: [String:Any] = [:]) throws -> String
}

Existing JWT tokens can be validated through the JWTVerifier object.

/// Accepts a JWT token string and verifies its structural validity and signature.
public struct JWTVerifier {
	/// The headers obtained from the token.
	public var header: [String:Any]
	/// The payload carried by the token.
	public var payload: [String:Any]
	/// Create a JWTVerifier given a source string in the "aaaa.bbbb.cccc" format.
	/// Returns nil if the given string is not a valid JWT.
	/// *Does not perform verification in this step.* Call `verify` with your key to validate.
	/// If verification succeeds then the `.headers` and `.payload` properties can be safely accessed.
	public init?(_ jwt: String)
	/// Verify the token based on the indicated algorithm and HMAC key.
	/// Throws a JWT.Error.verificationError if any aspect of the token is incongruent.
	/// Returns without any error if the token was able to be verified.
	/// The parameter `algo` must match the token's "alg" header.
	public func verify(algo: JWT.Alg, key: String) throws
	/// Verify the token based on the indicated algorithm and key.
	/// Throws a JWT.Error.verificationError if any aspect of the token is incongruent.
	/// Returns without any error if the token was able to be verified.
	/// The parameter `algo` must match the token's "alg" header.
	/// The key type must be compatible with the indicated `algo`.
	public func verify(algo: JWT.Alg, key: Key) throws
}

The following example will create and then verify a token using the "HS256" alg scheme.

let name = "John Doe"
let tstPayload = ["sub": "1234567890", "name": name, "admin": true] as [String : Any]
let secret = "secret"
guard let jwt1 = JWTCreator(payload: tstPayload) else {
	return // fatal error
}
let token = try jwt1.sign(alg: .hs256, key: secret)
guard let jwt = JWTVerifier(token) else {
  return // fatal error
}
try jwt.verify(algo: .hs256, key: HMACKey(secret))
let fndName = jwt.payload["name"] as? String
// name == fndName!

It's important to note that the JWTVerifier will verify that the token is cryptographically sound, but it does not validate payload claims such as iss(uer) or exp(iration). You can obtain these from the payload dictionary and validate according to the needs of your application.
