[Aerogear-users] AeroGear Crypto API on iOS with AES-GCM

[Niko - Whitebox.one]

Hi, 

I am interested in your crypto API specially on iOS and via
the cordova plugin. 

The docs at


https://aerogear.org/docs/specs/aerogear-crypto/ 

clearly state that
on iOS the GCM mode for symmetric AES encryption is not supported
(because iOS CommonCrypto itself does not provide it as a public
interface) 

And reading the latest code in the corresponding cordova
plugin tells me the same. 

Nevertheless, the docs of the cordova plugin
at


https://aerogear.org/docs/specs/aerogear-cordova/AeroGear.Crypto.html


and


https://github.com/edewit/aerogear-crypto-cordova/blob/master/README.md


state the contrary: it seemslike GCM is supported both on iOS and
android. 

So my 2 questions are: 

- Is GCM mode for AES encryption
supported on iOS aerogear crypto module (and the cordova plugin) ? (my
bet is no) 

- If not, how difficult would it be to use the private API
in iOS CommonCrypto ? I didnt try it myself, i have just been reading
the code.... 

Thanks in advance :) 

Niko
