This is an arduino compatible string encryption library. I started working on this to add encryption to PJON communications bus system. It is really easy to use but limited by the computational power of the ATmega chip. I am now working to bring it compatible with ESP8266 and other Arduino compatible boards.
Cape uses a private key, stream chipher algorithm and a masked initialization vector.
Instantiate Cape passing as first parameter the encryption key, and as second, its length. MAX_LENGTH
constant in Cape.h
limits maximum string length, rise to a higher value if necessary. Consider that a long encryption key, leads to a longer computation time:
Cape cape("YOUR-ENCRYPTION-KEY", 19);
To encrypt a string:
cape.encrypt("CRYPTMEPLEASE", 13);
Inside cape.result
you find the crypted version of your string, with an additional byte at the end, use to encrypt data, called initialization vector:
for(uint8_t i = 0; i < 14; i++)
Serial.print(cape.result[i]);
If you want to come back from the encrypted data to the original string:
cape.decrypt(cape.result, 14);
Print the original string as before to check all is working and to get back "CRYPTMEPLEASE" string:
for(uint8_t i = 0; i < 13; i++)
Serial.print(cape.result[i]);
