DescriptionΒΆ

The Crypto class provides access to advanced cryptographic functionalities.

Currently, this includes asymmetric key encryption/decryption, signing/verification, and generating cryptographically secure random bytes, RSA keys, HMAC digests, and self-signed X509Certificates.

var crypto = Crypto.new()

# Generate new RSA key.
var key = crypto.generate_rsa(4096)

# Generate new self-signed certificate with the given key.
var cert = crypto.generate_self_signed_certificate(key, "CN=mydomain.com,O=My Game Company,C=IT")

# Save key and certificate in the user folder.
key.save("user://generated.key")
cert.save("user://generated.crt")

# Encryption
var data = "Some data"
var encrypted = crypto.encrypt(key, data.to_utf8_buffer())

# Decryption
var decrypted = crypto.decrypt(key, encrypted)

# Signing
var signature = crypto.sign(HashingContext.HASH_SHA256, data.sha256_buffer(), key)

# Verifying
var verified = crypto.verify(HashingContext.HASH_SHA256, data.sha256_buffer(), signature, key)

# Checks
assert(verified)
assert(data.to_utf8_buffer() == decrypted)

Method DescriptionsΒΆ

bool constant_time_compare(trusted: PackedByteArray, received: PackedByteArray) πŸ”—

Compares two PackedByteArrays for equality without leaking timing information in order to prevent timing attacks.

See this blog post for more information.


PackedByteArray decrypt(key: CryptoKey, ciphertext: PackedByteArray) πŸ”—

Decrypt the given ciphertext with the provided private key.

Note: The maximum size of accepted ciphertext is limited by the key size.


PackedByteArray encrypt(key: CryptoKey, plaintext: PackedByteArray) πŸ”—

Encrypt the given plaintext with the provided public key.

Note: The maximum size of accepted plaintext is limited by the key size.


PackedByteArray generate_random_bytes(size: int) πŸ”—

Generates a PackedByteArray of cryptographically secure random bytes with given size.


CryptoKey generate_rsa(size: int) πŸ”—

Generates an RSA CryptoKey that can be used for creating self-signed certificates and passed to StreamPeerTLS.accept_stream.


X509Certificate generate_self_signed_certificate(key: CryptoKey, issuer_name: String = "CN=myserver,O=myorganisation,C=IT", not_before: String = "20140101000000", not_after: String = "20340101000000") πŸ”—

Generates a self-signed X509Certificate from the given CryptoKey and issuer_name. The certificate validity will be defined by not_before and not_after (first valid date and last valid date). The issuer_name must contain at least "CN=" (common name, i.e. the domain name), "O=" (organization, i.e. your company name), "C=" (country, i.e. 2 lettered ISO-3166 code of the country the organization is based in).

A small example to generate an RSA key and an X509 self-signed certificate.

var crypto = Crypto.new()
# Generate 4096 bits RSA key.
var key = crypto.generate_rsa(4096)
# Generate self-signed certificate using the given key.
var cert = crypto.generate_self_signed_certificate(key, "CN=example.com,O=A Game Company,C=IT")

PackedByteArray hmac_digest(hash_type: HashType, key: PackedByteArray, msg: PackedByteArray) πŸ”—

Generates an HMAC digest of msg using key. The hash_type parameter is the hashing algorithm that is used for the inner and outer hashes.

Currently, only HashingContext.HASH_SHA256 and HashingContext.HASH_SHA1 are supported.


PackedByteArray sign(hash_type: HashType, hash: PackedByteArray, key: CryptoKey) πŸ”—

Sign a given hash of type hash_type with the provided private key.


bool verify(hash_type: HashType, hash: PackedByteArray, signature: PackedByteArray, key: CryptoKey) πŸ”—

Verify that a given signature for hash of type hash_type against the provided public key.
