Cryptum Example

This example demonstrates the core functionality of the Cryptum package for secure message encryption and decryption.

Features Demonstrated

• Key pair generation
• Message encryption and decryption
• Message format handling
• Error handling for format mismatches
• Tamper detection

Code Walkthrough

The example simulates a secure message exchange between two parties (Alice and Bob):

1. Initialize Cryptum Instances

final alice = Cryptum();
final bob = Cryptum();

2. Generate Key Pairs

final aliceKeys = await alice.generateKey();
final bobKeys = await bob.generateKey();

3. Create and Format Message

final message = 'Hello, this is a secret message!';
final messageBytes = Uint8List.fromList(utf8.encode(message));

4. Generate Message Formats

final aliceFormat = MessageFormat.generateRandom();
final bobFormat = MessageFormat.generateRandom();

5. Encrypt Message

final encrypted = await alice.encryptBlob(
  messageBytes,
  bobKeys['public']!,
  format: aliceFormat,
);

6. Decrypt Message

final decrypted = await bob.decryptBlob(
  encrypted,
  bobKeys['private']!,
  format: aliceFormat,
);

The example also includes error handling demonstrations for:

• Using mismatched message formats
• Attempting to decrypt messages with incorrect keys

Running the Example
