Asynchronous C Client for Couchbase
Encryption

Detailed Description

Register crypto-providers and working with encrypted fields of the documents.

These routines contain functionality to define and hook crypto providers, as well as functions which should be used for portable (cross SDK) encoding of encrypted fields.

Function Documentation

◆ lcbcrypto_register()

void lcbcrypto_register ( lcb_t  instance,
const char *  name,
lcbcrypto_PROVIDER provider 
)

Register crypto-provider for specified alias.

See full example in example/crypto/openssl_symmetric_provider.c

Parameters
instancethe handle
nameprovider alias, this will be recorded in JSON.
providerimplementation of the crypto-provider
Register provider as "AES-256-HMAC-SHA256".
lcbcrypto_PROVIDER *provider = calloc(1, sizeof(lcbcrypto_PROVIDER));
provider->version = 1;
provider->destructor = osp_free;
provider->v.v1.release_bytes = osp_release_bytes;
provider->v.v1.generate_iv = osp_generate_iv;
provider->v.v1.sign = osp_sign;
provider->v.v1.verify_signature = osp_verify_signature;
provider->v.v1.encrypt = osp_encrypt;
provider->v.v1.decrypt = osp_decrypt;
provider->v.v1.get_key_id = osp_get_key_id;
lcbcrypto_register(instance, "AES-256-HMAC-SHA256", provider);

◆ lcbcrypto_unregister()

void lcbcrypto_unregister ( lcb_t  instance,
const char *  name 
)

Unregister crypto-provider for specified alias.

See full example in example/crypto/openssl_symmetric_provider.c

Parameters
instancethe handle
nameprovider alias.

◆ lcbcrypto_ref()

void lcbcrypto_ref ( lcbcrypto_PROVIDER provider)

Increment reference counter for crypto-provider.

Parameters
providerprovider instance

◆ lcbcrypto_unref()

void lcbcrypto_unref ( lcbcrypto_PROVIDER provider)

Decrement reference counter for crypto-provider.

It calls destructor once counter reaches zero. The provider instance should not be used after calling this function.

Parameters
providerprovider instance

◆ lcbcrypto_encrypt_fields()

lcb_error_t lcbcrypto_encrypt_fields ( lcb_t  instance,
lcbcrypto_CMDENCRYPT cmd 
)

Encrypt all specified fields in the JSON encoded object.

The function will remove original content of the field, and rename it using LCBCRYPTO_DEFAULT_FIELD_PREFIX, or custom prefix, specified in the command.

See full example in example/crypto/openssl_symmetric_encrypt.c

Parameters
instancethe handle
cmdthe command structure
Returns
LCB_SUCCESS if successful, an error code otherwise
Encrypt field "message" in the document using provider registered as "AES-256-HMAC-SHA256"
cmd.version = 0;
cmd.prefix = NULL;
cmd.doc = "{\"message\":\"hello world\"}";
cmd.ndoc = strlen(cmd.doc);
cmd.nfields = 1;
cmd.fields = &field;
field.name = "message";
field.alg = "AES-256-HMAC-SHA256";
err = lcbcrypto_encrypt_fields(instance, &cmd);

)

Decrypt all specified fields in the JSON encoded object.

The function will remove original content of the field, and rename it using LCBCRYPTO_DEFAULT_FIELD_PREFIX, or custom prefix, specified in the command.

See full example in example/crypto/openssl_symmetric_decrypt.c
