What is RNCryptor?

Cross-language AES Encryptor/Decryptor data format.

The primary targets are Swift and Objective-C, but implementations are available in C, C++, C#, Erlang, Go, Haskell, Java, PHP, Python, Javascript, and Ruby.

The data format includes all the metadata required to securely implement AES encryption, as described in “Properly encrypting with AES with CommonCrypto,” and iOS 6 Programming Pushing the Limits, Chapter 15. Specifically, it includes:

  • AES-256 encryption
  • CBC mode
  • Password stretching with PBKDF2
  • Password salting
  • Random IV
  • Encrypt-then-hash HMAC
