StreamReader in Go
StreamReader wraps a Stream into an io.Reader. It calls XORKeyStream to process each slice of data which passes through.
package main
import (
"bytes"
"crypto/aes"
"crypto/cipher"
"encoding/hex"
"io"
"os"
)
func main() {
// Load your secret key from a safe place and reuse it across multiple
// NewCipher calls. (Obviously don't use this example key for anything
// real.) If you want to convert a passphrase to a key, use a suitable
// package like bcrypt or scrypt.
key, _ := hex.DecodeString("6368616e676520746869732070617373")
encrypted, _ := hex.DecodeString("cf0495cc6f75dafc23948538e79904a9")
bReader := bytes.NewReader(encrypted)
block, err := aes.NewCipher(key)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// If the key is unique for each ciphertext, then it's ok to use a zero
// IV.
var iv [aes.BlockSize]byte
stream := cipher.NewOFB(block, iv[:])
reader := &cipher.StreamReader{S: stream, R: bReader}
// Copy the input to the output stream, decrypting as we go.
if _, err := io.Copy(os.Stdout, reader); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Note that this example is simplistic in that it omits any
// authentication of the encrypted data. If you were actually to use
// StreamReader in this manner, an attacker could flip arbitrary bits in
// the output.
