Re: [aerogear-dev] iOS Crypto questions

Hello All I've just updated the crypto iOS API documentation https://github.com/corinnekrych/aerogear.org/blob/77ab01e16bd385c7d8a507d... I would like to discuss with you the actual symmetric encryption method in the API. Atm, we have: => Java: cryptoBox.encrypt(IV, message); => objective-C NSData* encryptedData = [cryptoBox encrypt:dataToEncrypt IV:encryptionSalt]; => JavaScript AeroGear.encrypt( options ); I think JavaScript grouping everything (key, IV, data to encrypt) in options is not the best approach but I like the encrypt method with only one argument. I rather have options containing key/IV information and have a separate method encrypt that takes the message to encrypt. Something like: => Java: CryptoBox cryptoBox = new CryptoBox(new PrivateKey(SOME_SECRET_KEY), IV); cryptoBox.encrypt(message); => objective-C cryptoBox = [[AGCryptoBox alloc] initWithKey:key salt:encryptionSalt initializationVector:vector]]; NSData* encryptedData = [cryptoBox encrypt:dataToEncrypt]; => JavaScript var options = { IV: superRandomInitializationVector, AAD: "whateverAuthenticatedData", key: generatedKey }; AeroGear.setOptions(options); AeroGear.encrypt(message); wdyt?
