Simple Encryption in Ruby without external gems

问题


I need a simple encryption for some text strings. I want to create coupon codes and make them look cool so subsequently created code should look very different. (And besides looking cool, it shouldn't be easy to guess a code.) But I want to be able to decrypt them again. So the algorithm must be reversible.

I alread tried some stuff with moving bits around so they look kind of random already. But two subsequent codes (just one bit different) of course look very similar.

Any suggestions? I would like to do that without using external gems.

You could use OpenSSL::Cypher

# for more info, see http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/openssl/rdoc/OpenSSL/Cipher.html

require 'openssl'
require 'digest/sha1'

# create the cipher for encrypting
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new("aes-256-cbc")
cipher.encrypt

# you will need to store these for later, in order to decrypt your data
key = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("yourpass")
iv = cipher.random_iv

# load them into the cipher
cipher.key = key
cipher.iv = iv

# encrypt the message
encrypted = cipher.update('This is a secure message, meet at the clock-tower at dawn.')
encrypted << cipher.final
puts "encrypted: #{encrypted}\n"

# now we create a sipher for decrypting
cipher = OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher.new("aes-256-cbc")
cipher.decrypt
cipher.key = key
cipher.iv = iv

# and decrypt it
decrypted = cipher.update(encrypted)
decrypted << cipher.final
puts "decrypted: #{decrypted}\n"

But the intermediate form doesn't lend itself well to printing


Given your thought that it would be nice if the intermediate form was the same length, you might just use a simple map of one char to another.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT SECURE

You can easily brute force the key, but it seems to be congruent with your requirements.

class Cipher

  def initialize(shuffled)
    normal = ('a'..'z').to_a + ('A'..'Z').to_a + ('0'..'9').to_a + [' ']
    @map = normal.zip(shuffled).inject(:encrypt => {} , :decrypt => {}) do |hash,(a,b)|
      hash[:encrypt][a] = b
      hash[:decrypt][b] = a
      hash
    end
  end

  def encrypt(str)
    str.split(//).map { |char| @map[:encrypt][char] }.join
  end

  def decrypt(str)
    str.split(//).map { |char| @map[:decrypt][char] }.join
  end

end

# pass the shuffled version to the cipher
cipher = Cipher.new ["K", "D", "w", "X", "H", "3", "e", "1", "S", "B", "g", "a", "y", "v", "I", "6", "u", "W", "C", "0", "9", "b", "z", "T", "A", "q", "U", "4", "O", "o", "E", "N", "r", "n", "m", "d", "k", "x", "P", "t", "R", "s", "J", "L", "f", "h", "Z", "j", "Y", "5", "7", "l", "p", "c", "2", "8", "M", "V", "G", "i", " ", "Q", "F"]

msg = "howdy pardner"

crypted = cipher.encrypt msg
crypted # => "1IzXAF6KWXvHW"

decrypted = cipher.decrypt crypted
decrypted # => "howdy pardner"

If you don't need real encryption, you can use a simple cipher. (This can be used when you don't need security, or to encrypt short random/one-off strings.)

ALPHABET = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"

#generated with ALPHABET.split('').shuffle.join
ENCODING = "MOhqm0PnycUZeLdK8YvDCgNfb7FJtiHT52BrxoAkas9RWlXpEujSGI64VzQ31w"

def encode(text)
  text.tr(ALPHABET, ENCODING)
end

def decode(text)
  text.tr(ENCODING, ALPHABET)
end



回答3:


For basic encoding/decode purpose I guess ruby's inbuilt Base64 library can be handy:

2.2.1 :001 > require 'base64'
 => true 
2.2.1 :002 > str = "abc@example.com"
 => "abc@example.com" 
2.2.1 :003 > Base64.encode64(str)
 => "YWJjQGV4YW1wbGUuY29t\n" 

It also has the urlsafe version methods in case the encoded strings are to be used in urls.

Optional method for encryption and decryption

gem 'activesupport'

require 'active_support'

key = SecureRandom.random_bytes(32)
crypt = ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor.new(key)
encrypted_data = crypt.encrypt_and_sign("your password")
password = crypt.decrypt_and_verify(encrypted_data)

I can recommend you uuencode and uudecode utils you can use them wuth standart ruby function pack:

str = "\007\007\002\abcde"
new_string = [str].pack("u")
original = new_string.unpack("u")

(sample from Hal Fulton's Ruby Way)

Do you really want to trust the user to give you back the right value? If you trust what the client gives you back and the user figures out your encryption scheme you'll be using data they provide. That sounds like a very bad idea.

It's not clear to me why you don't want to give them a key into a database that maps a random numbers, perhaps with some error correction properties, to the coupon discounts. That way you have control of the final result. They provide you a key, you look up the associated coupon and apply the coupon. In this way you're only using your own data and if you want to remove a coupon it's all on the server side.

If you keep all the key-codes you can also check that new codes are different from previously released ones.




回答7:


The solution is kind of from scratch but based on this: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/9508/looking-for-a-bijective-discrete-function-that-behaves-as-chaotically-as-possib

The simplest way presented is using a * x + b (mod 2^n)

Obviously this is no real encryption and really only useful if you want to create sequential coupon codes without using much code.

So to implement this, you first need to pick a, b and n. (a must be odd) For example a=17, b=37 and n=27. Also we need to find "a^(-1)" on "mod 2^n". It's possible to do this on https://www.wolframalpha.com using the ExtendedGcd function:

So the inverse of a is therefore 15790321. Putting all this together:

A=17
B=37
A_INV=15790321

def encrypt(x)
  (A*x+B)%(2**27)
end

def decrypt(y)
  ((y-B)*A_INV)%(2**27)
end

And now you can do:

irb(main):038:0> encrypt(4)
=> 105
irb(main):039:0> decrypt(105)
=> 4

Obviously we want the coupon codes to look cool. So 2 extra things are needed: start the sequence at 4000 or so, so the codes are longer. Also convert them into something alpha-numeric, that's also an easy one with Ruby:

irb(main):050:0> decrypt("1ghx".to_i(36))
=> 4000
irb(main):051:0> encrypt(4000).to_s(36)
=> "1ghx"

One nice additional property is that consecutive numbers are different enough that guessing is practically impossible. Of course we assume that the users are not crypto analysts and if someone indeed guesses a valid number, it's not the end of the world: :-)

irb(main):053:0> encrypt(4001).to_s(36)
=> "1gie"
irb(main):054:0> decrypt("1gie".to_i(36))
=> 4001

Let's try to naively "hack" it by counting from 1gie to 1gif:

irb(main):059:0* decrypt("1gif".to_i(36))
=> 15794322

That's completely out of range, there are just 2000 or so coupons anyways - not a million. :-) Also if I remember correctly one can experiment a bit with the parameters, so subsequent numbers look more chaotic.

(Pick a larger n for longer codes and vice-versa. Base 36 means 6 bits are needed for each character ("Math.log(36, 2)"). So n=27 allows for up to 5 characters.)

You can check all different ways of encryption/decryption using ruby in this gist: https://gist.github.com/iufuenza/183a45c601a5c157a5372c5f1cfb9e3e

If you don't want to use a gem, I would totally recommend Openssl as the most secure which is also very easy to implement as it has very good Ruby support.




回答9:


I know that you are looking for a no-gem encryption, but still want to offer to those who are here and don't worry about using external gems. Try glogin (I'm the author):

require 'glogin/codec'
codec = GLogin:Codec.new('the secret')
encrypted = codec.encrypt('Hello, world!')
decrypted = codec.decrypt(encrypted)

It's based on OpenSSL and Base58.
