What is Bencrypt?

Bencrypt is an abstraction layer for cryptosystems in Go, that lets applications use hybrid cryptosystems without being coupled to their internal workings. It lets applications easily switch between using ECC or RSA, for example.

Implementations of both ECC-based and RSA-based systems are included, as are a collection of generally-useful crypto utilities, such as:

- PKCS7 Padding/Unpadding
- AES-CBC symmetric encrypt/decrypt
- SSL Certificate Generation in both RSA and ECC modes

Bencrypt was developed to provide a layer of abstraction for cryptosystems below the ratnet project.

Usage

In normal usage, you will want to include at least two packages:

Then, include each cryptosystem definition that you want to use. Two of them are included with bencrypt at the moment:

Add Your Own CryptoSystem

To add your own cryptosystem to bencrypt:

Then, to use it, just include your system instead of "bencrypt/ecc" or "bencrypt/rsa" in your app.
