Installation

This gem needs libsodium library. To install libsodium, see https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'noise-ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install noise-ruby

If you use Ed448 as DH function, you must install libgoldilocks.

After installing, define an environment variable as follows:

  • on macOS

    $ export LIBGOLDILOCKS=/usr/local/lib/libgoldilocks.dylib
    
  • on Linux(Ubuntu)

    $ export LIBGOLDILOCKS=/usr/local/lib/libgoldilocks.so
    

If you use Secp256k1, you must install libsecp256k1.

$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1
$ cd secp256k1
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --enable-module-recovery --enable-experimental --enable-module-ecdh
$ make
$ sudo make install

and, add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'secp256k1-ruby'

If you use BLAKE3, you must install Rust and Cargo. And add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'blake3'

Usage

Followings shows handshake protocol with "Noise_NN_25519_ChaChaPoly_BLAKE2b"

Handshake

initiator

initiator = Noise::Connection::Initiator.new("Noise_NN_25519_ChaChaPoly_BLAKE2b")
initiator.prologue = "test" # => "test"
initiator.start_handshake # => true
cipher = initiator.write_message("") # => "\xB6\xF7gmxi\xAB\xBCY|t\xF0\x9D\x01A\ad\x92\xBBvp\x80ZNU\f=\x83\x81^\xFD\x15"

then initiator sends cipher to the responder.

responder

The responder receives cipher from the initiator. The responder responds messages to the initiator.

responder = Noise::Connection::Responder.new("Noise_NN_25519_ChaChaPoly_BLAKE2b")
responder.prologue = "test" # => "test"
responder.start_handshake # => true
plain = responder.read_message(cipher) # => ""
cipher = responder.write_message("") # => "\v\xD9\x97'\xC0\xB1\xC9\xFFD\x8C\x7F\x18L\xB0\xF2\x14\xB0\x11\xC0\x90\xAAZ\xE1\x03\x17z)\xB81/5L\x16\xE3\xD1\xBE<{\xB8\xBB\xD6\xF1\x00\x10]\x99=\xD7"

initiator

plain = initiator.read_message(cipher) # => ""

Transport (after handshake finished)

Send transport message

cipher = initiator.encrypt("Hello, World!") # => "\xDA\xC7\xD7as\v\xFA\xCC,\xB3\xC7\xD0/xL\xE8I,\xD9\n\xEExh\x8F\xFA\xD6\x01\x99W"

Receive transport message

plain = responder.decrypt(cipher) # => "Hello, World!"

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
