DataBridges C# NaCl wrapper for databridges library.

Databridges C# NaCl Wrapper Library

Databridges NACL wrapper gives you a simple write and read function using implementation of the secretbox encryption standard defined in NaCl.

Databridges NACL wrapper is available for

• JavaScript
• NodeJS
• C#
• Python
• Java for Android
• iOS Swift

The above wrappers can be used to send encrypted messages between them.

The Databridges NACL wrapper for C# Language binding uses NaCl.Net to deliver implementation of the secretbox encryption standard defined in NaCl.

Installation

You can use any visual studio package manager.

Install-Package Databridges.NaCl.Wrapper

Initialization

using Databridges.NaCl.Wrapper; 
DataBridges_NaCl_Wrapper secretData = new DataBridges_NaCl_Wrapper();

Global Configuration

Required

The following is the required properties before using to dataBridges NaCl wrapper.

secretData.secret = '32 char alphanumeric string';

Properties	Description
secret	(string) 32 char alpha numeric string. NaCl encryption secret.

Encrypt data

To encrypt data using NaCl, databridges wrapper exposes a method named write, This will return encrypted data if successful else it will throw error.

write()

try {
    string encData = secretData.write("Your Data..");
    Console.WriteLine('Encrypted: {0}', encData);
} catch (dbnwError err) {
    console.log('Errors : {0} {1} {2}', err.source, err.code, err.message);
}

Parameter	Description
data	(string) data to be encrypted.

Return Values	Description
string	Encrypted string.

Exceptions:

Source	Code	Description
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	INVALID_SECRET	secret is not set with the wrapper instance.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	INVALID_DATA	If data is not passed to the function.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	NACL_EXCEPTION	Exceptions generated by NaCl library.

Decrypt data

To decrypt data using NaCl, databridges wrapper exposes a method named read, This will return decrypted data if successful else it will throw error.

read()

try {
    string decData = secretData.read("<Encrypted data.>");
    console.log('Decrypted: {0}', decData);
} catch (dbnwError err) {
    console.log('Errors : {0} {1} {2}', err.source, err.code, err.message);
}

Parameter	Description
data	(string) data to be encrypted.

Return Values	Description
string	Encrypted string.

Exceptions:

Source	Code	Description
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	INVALID_SECRET	secret is not set with the wrapper instance.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	INVALID_DATA	If data is not passed to the function OR data is not a valid encrypted string.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	NACL_EXCEPTION	Exceptions generated by NaCl library.
DBLIB_NACL_WRAPPER	NACL_DECRYPT_FAILED	If decryption fails due to invalid secret or manipulated data.

How to use with Databridges C# Library

Below code shows how to integrate the NaCl wrapper with the Databridges library. After initialize you can use the wrapper library to encrypt and decrypt the data when publishing and receiving events.

// Initialize both databridges-sio-client-lib and databridges-nacl-wrapper
using dBridges;
using Databridges.NaCl.Wrapper;

dBridges.dBridges dbridge = new dBridges.dBridges();
DataBridges_NaCl_Wrapper secretData = new DataBridges_NaCl_Wrapper(); 
secretData.secret = "Your32 char secret.";

// .... Your databridges code comes here.

// On Subscription success event.
 Action<object, object> subscribesuccess;
subscribedChannel.bind("dbridges:subscribe.success", subscribesuccess = (payload, metadata) => {
    bool mflag = false;
	string encData = "";
    try {
		// Encrypt data to publish
    	encData = secretData.write("Your Data..");
        mflag = true;
    } catch(dbnwError err) {
        Console.WriteLine("Error:  {0} {1} {2}", err.source, err.code, err.message);
    }
    if (mflag) {
        subscribedChannel.publish("eventName", encData, "1");
    }
});

// On payload Received event.
Action<object, object> on_eventrecd;
subscribedChannel.bind("eventName", on_eventrecd = (payload, metadata) => {
    try {
        // Decrypt data received in the event.
        string decData = secretData.read(payload as string);
        Console.WriteLine("Decrypted: {0}", decData);
    } catch (dbnwError err) {
        Console.WriteLine("Error: {0} {1} {2}", err.source, err.code, err.message);
    }

});
