AESContext

Inherits: RefCounted < Object

Provides access to AES encryption/decryption of raw data.

Description

This class holds the context information required for encryption and decryption operations with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). Both AES-ECB and AES-CBC modes are supported.

func _ready():
    var key = "My secret key!!!" # Key must be either 16 or 32 bytes.
    var data = "My secret text!!" # Data size must be multiple of 16 bytes, apply padding if needed.
    # Encrypt ECB
    aes.start(AESContext.MODE_ECB_ENCRYPT, key.to_utf8_buffer())
    var encrypted = aes.update(data.to_utf8_buffer())
    aes.finish()
    # Decrypt ECB
    aes.start(AESContext.MODE_ECB_DECRYPT, key.to_utf8_buffer())

Methods

Enumerations

enum Mode: 🔗

Mode MODE_ECB_ENCRYPT = 0

AES electronic codebook encryption mode.

Mode MODE_ECB_DECRYPT = 1

AES electronic codebook decryption mode.

Mode MODE_CBC_ENCRYPT = 2

AES cipher blocker chaining encryption mode.

Mode MODE_CBC_DECRYPT = 3

AES cipher blocker chaining decryption mode.

Mode MODE_MAX = 4

Maximum value for the mode enum.

Method Descriptions

void finish() 🔗

Close this AES context so it can be started again. See start.

PackedByteArray get_iv_state() 🔗

Get the current IV state for this context (IV gets updated when calling update). You normally don’t need this function.

Note: This function only makes sense when the context is started with MODE_CBC_ENCRYPT or MODE_CBC_DECRYPT.

Error start(mode: Mode, key: PackedByteArray, iv: PackedByteArray = PackedByteArray()) 🔗

Start the AES context in the given mode. A key of either 16 or 32 bytes must always be provided, while an iv (initialization vector) of exactly 16 bytes, is only needed when mode is either MODE_CBC_ENCRYPT or MODE_CBC_DECRYPT.

PackedByteArray update(src: PackedByteArray) 🔗

Run the desired operation for this AES context. Will return a PackedByteArray containing the result of encrypting (or decrypting) the given src. See start for mode of operation.

Note: The size of src must be a multiple of 16. Apply some padding if needed.
