# INadvisable EXperimental Asymmetric Crypto Tool #
|
||||
|
||||
Inexact is an experimental cryptographic tools, multi-platform, scriptable
|
||||
complying with the KISS principle (Keep it simple and stupid).
|
||||
|
||||
The main features are as follow:
|
||||
|
||||
- Asymmetric encryption.
|
||||
- Symmetric encryption.
|
||||
- Variable length of encrypted messages for the same input message.
|
||||
- Authenticated encrypted messages.
|
||||
- Shell redirection compliant (using pipe).
|
||||
- Base64 or modified base64 encoding output compatible with a URL path, DNS entry, or file name.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
** WARNING : Inexact uses recent algorithms not approved nor by NIST or NSA ! **
|
||||
|
||||
## Encryption principles
|
||||
|
||||
Inexact implements the following algorithms:
|
||||
|
||||
- Norx 256bits
|
||||
- Diffie-Hellman X25219
|
||||
- SHA3-256
|
||||
- DRNG chacha20
|
||||
- Argon2
|
||||
|
||||
An encrypted message is split into two parts:
|
||||
|
||||
- The first one containing the parameters of the second part.
|
||||
- The encrypted message.
|
||||
|
||||
Rest of protocol:
|
||||
|
||||
- The asymmetric encryption is achieved by using Diffie-Hellman with a 25519
|
||||
elliptical curve shared secret.
|
||||
- A random buffer (rand1) with random size is generated from the chacha20
|
||||
algorithm.
|
||||
- The shared secret from the Diffie-Hellman is hashed with rand1 buffer using
|
||||
SHA3-256 and then used as a key for the Norx algorithm.
|
||||
- The nonce for the Norx function of the second part is a SHA3-256 hash of
|
||||
parameters of the first part and rand1 buffer.
|
||||
- Argon2 is used as a challenge for the password of the private key.
|
||||
- The symmetric encryption is based on ian asymmetric encryption by adding argon2
|
||||
challenge nonce and public key in the encrypted message.
|
||||
|
||||
Schematic:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
| <encrypted 0 with len(tag) = 4> | tag0[4] | <rand> | <encrypted 1 with len(tag) = Y> | tag1[Y] |
|
||||
| header[8]: len(part 0 + part 1) | | len(rand) = X | header: params | |
|
||||
| key: sha3-256(nonce0+shared_secret) | | X >= 8 | key1: sha3-256(nonce1+shared_secret) | |
|
||||
| nonce0: sha3-256 (rand+encrypted1) | | | nonce1: sha3-256(params+rand) | |
|
||||
| message[5]=params:len(nonce1)=X len(tag1)=Y | | | message: data | |
|
||||
|------------------ part 0 [9] --------------------------- |------------------------ part 1 -------------------------------------- |

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## How to build
|
||||
|
||||
For GNU/Linux and Mac OS X:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd inexact
|
||||
make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For Microsoft Windows using cross compilation on GNU/Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd inexact
|
||||
make windows
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Asymmetric encryption:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
./inexact --no-password -g -k alices.key -p alicep.key
|
||||
./inexact --no-password -g -k bobs.key -p bobp.key
|
||||
echo "coucou alice" | ./inexact -e -k bobs.key -p alicep.key
|
||||

|
||||
bobp.key
|
||||
coucou alice
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Symmetric encryption:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
echo "my secret" | ./inexact -e -s
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Base64 output:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cat Makefile | ./inexact -e -k bobs.key -p alicep.key --base64 | base64 -d | xz -z > crypted_compressed
|
||||
cat crypted_compressed | xz -d | base64 | ./inexact -d -k alices.key -p bobp.key
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Variable encrypted message size (smallest):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
echo "coucou Bob" | ./inexact -e -k alices.key -p bobp.key -w
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Variable encrypted message size (400 chars):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
echo "coucou Bob" | ./inexact -e -k alices.key -p bobp.key -c 400
|
||||
```
