Simple Javascript encryption using Libsodium.js in this sandbox demo

问题

I've spent an embarrasing number of hours trying to get Libsodium.js to work.

See my fiddle demo (and code pasted below too).

I keep getting Error: wrong secret key for the given ciphertext.

What I would prefer is to replicate this PHP example of function simpleEncrypt($message, $key) into Libsodium.js.

But as a starter, I'd be happy even getting the basic sample from the Libsodium.js repo to work.

Any hints?

Here is the code (also shown in the working fiddle):

const _sodium = require("libsodium-wrappers");
const concatTypedArray = require("concat-typed-array");
(async () => {
    await _sodium.ready;
    const sodium = _sodium;
    const utf8 = "utf-8";
    const td = new TextDecoder(utf8);
    const te = new TextEncoder(utf8);
    const nonceBytes = sodium.crypto_secretbox_NONCEBYTES;
    const macBytes = sodium.crypto_secretbox_MACBYTES;

    let key = sodium.from_hex("724b092810ec86d7e35c9d067702b31ef90bc43a7b598626749914d6a3e033ed");

    function encrypt_and_prepend_nonce(message, key) {
        let nonce = sodium.randombytes_buf(nonceBytes);
        var encrypted = sodium.crypto_secretbox_easy(message, nonce, key);
        var combined2 = concatTypedArray(Uint8Array, nonce, encrypted);
        return combined2;
    }

    function decrypt_after_extracting_nonce(nonce_and_ciphertext, key) {
        if (nonce_and_ciphertext.length < nonceBytes + macBytes) {
            throw "Short message";
        }
        let nonce = nonce_and_ciphertext.slice(0, nonceBytes);
        let ciphertext = nonce_and_ciphertext.slice(nonceBytes);
        return sodium.crypto_secretbox_open_easy(ciphertext, nonce, key);
    }

    function encrypt(message, key) {
        var x = encrypt_and_prepend_nonce(message, key);
        return td.decode(x);
    }

    function decrypt(nonce_and_ciphertext_str, key) {
        var nonce_and_ciphertext = te.encode(nonce_and_ciphertext_str);
        return decrypt_after_extracting_nonce(nonce_and_ciphertext, key);
    }

    var inputStr = "shhh this is a secret";
    var garbledStr = encrypt(inputStr, key);
    try {
        var decryptedStr = decrypt(garbledStr, key);
        console.log("Recovered input string:", decryptedStr);
        console.log("Check whether the following text matches the original:", decryptedStr === inputStr);
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    }
})();

This is what I do in https://emberclear.io :

tests: https://gitlab.com/NullVoxPopuli/emberclear/blob/master/packages/frontend/src/utils/nacl/unit-test.ts#L19

implementation: https://gitlab.com/NullVoxPopuli/emberclear/blob/master/packages/frontend/src/utils/nacl/utils.ts#L48

Snippet of implementation (in typescript):

import libsodiumWrapper, { ISodium } from 'libsodium-wrappers';

import { concat } from 'emberclear/src/utils/arrays/utils';

export async function libsodium(): Promise<ISodium> {
  const sodium = libsodiumWrapper.sodium;
  await sodium.ready;

  return sodium;
}


export async function encryptFor(
  message: Uint8Array,
  recipientPublicKey: Uint8Array,
  senderPrivateKey: Uint8Array): Promise<Uint8Array> {

  const sodium = await libsodium();
  const nonce = await generateNonce();

  const ciphertext = sodium.crypto_box_easy(
    message, nonce,
    recipientPublicKey, senderPrivateKey
  );

  return concat(nonce, ciphertext);
}

export async function decryptFrom(
  ciphertextWithNonce: Uint8Array,
  senderPublicKey: Uint8Array,
  recipientPrivateKey: Uint8Array): Promise<Uint8Array> {

  const sodium = await libsodium();

  const [nonce, ciphertext] = await splitNonceFromMessage(ciphertextWithNonce);
  const decrypted = sodium.crypto_box_open_easy(
    ciphertext, nonce,
    senderPublicKey, recipientPrivateKey
  );

  return decrypted;
}

export async function splitNonceFromMessage(messageWithNonce: Uint8Array): Promise<[Uint8Array, Uint8Array]> {
  const sodium = await libsodium();
  const bytes = sodium.crypto_box_NONCEBYTES;

  const nonce = messageWithNonce.slice(0, bytes);
  const message = messageWithNonce.slice(bytes, messageWithNonce.length);

  return [nonce, message];
}

export async function generateNonce(): Promise<Uint8Array> {
  const sodium = await libsodium();

  return await randomBytes(sodium.crypto_box_NONCEBYTES);
}

export async function randomBytes(length: number): Promise<Uint8Array> {
  const sodium = await libsodium();

  return sodium.randombytes_buf(length);
}

Snippet of tests:

import * as nacl from './utils';
import { module, test } from 'qunit';

module('Unit | Utility | nacl', function() {
  test('libsodium uses wasm', async function(assert) {
    const sodium = await nacl.libsodium();
    const isUsingWasm = sodium.libsodium.usingWasm;

    assert.ok(isUsingWasm);
  });

  test('generateAsymmetricKeys | works', async function(assert) {
    const boxKeys = await nacl.generateAsymmetricKeys();

    assert.ok(boxKeys.publicKey);
    assert.ok(boxKeys.privateKey);
  });

  test('encryptFor/decryptFrom | works with Uint8Array', async function(assert) {
    const receiver = await nacl.generateAsymmetricKeys();
    const sender = await nacl.generateAsymmetricKeys();

    const msgAsUint8 = Uint8Array.from([104, 101, 108, 108, 111]); // hello
    const ciphertext = await nacl.encryptFor(msgAsUint8, receiver.publicKey, sender.privateKey);
    const decrypted = await nacl.decryptFrom(ciphertext, sender.publicKey, receiver.privateKey);

    assert.deepEqual(msgAsUint8, decrypted);
  });

Wow, I finally got it working!

The parts that really helped me were:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/43271130/470749 (function u_atob(ascii) for Uint8Array)
using const concatTypedArray = require("concat-typed-array");
using require("babel-core/register"); and require("babel-polyfill");, which I still don't understand (https://stackoverflow.com/a/33527883/470749)

Here is the working fiddle sandbox.

And in case that ever disappears, here are the important parts:

const nonceBytes = sodium.crypto_aead_xchacha20poly1305_ietf_NPUBBYTES;
let key = sodium.from_hex("724b092810ec86d7e35c9d067702b31ef90bc43a7b598626749914d6a3e033ed");
var nonceTest;

/**

 * @param {string} key
 * @returns {Uint8Array}
 */
function encrypt_and_prepend_nonce(message, key) {
    let nonce = sodium.randombytes_buf(nonceBytes);
    nonceTest = nonce.toString();
    var encrypted = sodium.crypto_aead_xchacha20poly1305_ietf_encrypt(message, null, nonce, nonce, key);
    var nonce_and_ciphertext = concatTypedArray(Uint8Array, nonce, encrypted); //https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.js/issues/130#issuecomment-361399594     
    return nonce_and_ciphertext;
}

/**

 */
function decrypt_after_extracting_nonce(nonce_and_ciphertext, key) {
    let nonce = nonce_and_ciphertext.slice(0, nonceBytes); //https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray/slice      
    let ciphertext = nonce_and_ciphertext.slice(nonceBytes);
    var result = sodium.crypto_aead_xchacha20poly1305_ietf_decrypt(nonce, ciphertext, null, nonce, key, "text");
    return result;
}

/**
 * @param {string} message
 * @param {string} key
 * @returns {string}
 */
function encrypt(message, key) {
    var uint8ArrayMsg = encrypt_and_prepend_nonce(message, key);
    return u_btoa(uint8ArrayMsg); //returns ascii string of garbled text
}

/**
 * @param {string} nonce_and_ciphertext_str
 * @param {string} key
 * @returns {string}
 */
function decrypt(nonce_and_ciphertext_str, key) {
    var nonce_and_ciphertext = u_atob(nonce_and_ciphertext_str); //converts ascii string of garbled text into binary
    return decrypt_after_extracting_nonce(nonce_and_ciphertext, key);
}

function u_atob(ascii) {        //https://stackoverflow.com/a/43271130/
    return Uint8Array.from(atob(ascii), c => c.charCodeAt(0));
}

function u_btoa(buffer) {       //https://stackoverflow.com/a/43271130/
    var binary = [];
    var bytes = new Uint8Array(buffer);
    for (var i = 0, il = bytes.byteLength; i < il; i++) {
        binary.push(String.fromCharCode(bytes[i]));
    }
    return btoa(binary.join(""));
}

I think you're making this harder than it needs to be. For your typescript encryption for example, all you need to do is this:

private async encrypt(obj: any): Promise<string> {
    await Sodium.ready;

    const json = JSON.stringify(obj);
    const key = Sodium.from_hex(this.hexKey);

    const nonce = Sodium.randombytes_buf(Sodium.crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_NPUBBYTES);
    const encrypted = Sodium.crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_encrypt(json, '', null, nonce, key);

    // Merge the two together
    const nonceAndCipherText = new Uint8Array(Sodium.crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_NPUBBYTES + encrypted.byteLength);
    nonceAndCipherText.set(nonce);
    nonceAndCipherText.set(encrypted, Sodium.crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_NPUBBYTES);

    return btoa(String.fromCharCode(...nonceAndCipherText));
}

You don't need all the extra libraries you're using. And on your PHP side, to decrypt you'd just do this:

function decode($encrypted, $key)
{
    $decoded = base64_decode($encrypted); // Should be using sodium_base642bin?
    if ($decoded === false) {
        throw new Exception('Scream bloody murder, the decoding failed');
    }

    $nonce = mb_substr($decoded, 0, SODIUM_CRYPTO_AEAD_CHACHA20POLY1305_IETF_NPUBBYTES, '8bit');
    $ciphertext = mb_substr($decoded, SODIUM_CRYPTO_AEAD_CHACHA20POLY1305_IETF_NPUBBYTES, null, '8bit');

    $plain = sodium_crypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_ietf_decrypt($ciphertext, '', $nonce, sodium_hex2bin($key));

    sodium_memzero($ciphertext);
    sodium_memzero($key);

    if ($plain === false) {
        throw new Exception('the message was tampered with in transit');
    }

    return $plain;
}

You don't need to set the nonce multiple times. That second parameter to the encryption is the "additional data" parameter, and it can just be an empty string if it's an empty string on the decryption side as well.
