sodium-react-native

A port of Frank Denis' libsodium cryptography library for React Native. This library is intended to be a drop-in replacement for pre-existing NodeJs and JavaScript ports.

Only a subset of the functions have been exposed, however, contributions are most welcome.

Notes

The goal of this project is to be thin, stable, unopionated wrapper around libsodium.

All methods exposed are more or less a direct translation of the libsodium C API. This means that most data types are buffers and you have to manage allocating return values and passing them in as arguments instead of receiving them as return values.

This makes this API harder to use than other libsodium wrappers out there, but also means that you'll be able to get a lot of performance / memory improvements as you can do stuff like inline encryption / decryption, re-use buffers etc.

Installation

npm install sodium-react-native-direct

Usage

import sodium from "sodium-react-native-direct";

const key = sodium_malloc(sodium.crypto_kdf_KEYBYTES)
const subkey = sodium_malloc(sodium.crypto_kdf_BYTES_MAX)
const ctx = sodium_malloc(sodium.crypto_kdf_CONTEXTBYTES

sodium.crypto_kdf_keygen(key);
sodium.crypto_kdf_derive_from_key(subkey, 1, ctx, key)

Use as a drop-in for sodium-universal

In your metro.config.js add a mapping to resolve modules:

...

const config = {
  resolver: {
    extraNodeModules: {
      'sodium-universal': path.resolve(__dirname, './node_modules/sodium-react-native-direct'),
    },
    blacklistRE: exclusionList([
      /\/node_modules\/sodium-universal\/.*/,
    ]),
  },
};

Clamping involves clearing the lowest 3 bits of the result, ensuring the result lies on the main subgroup of the curve. However, this breaks point inversion which is undesireable for some protcocols. See here for a more detailed explanation.
