algName string Yes Yes Symmetric encryption and decryption parameters. Options:
- IvParamsSpec: applicable to the CBC, CTR, OFB, and CFB modes.
- GcmParamsSpec: applicable to the GCM mode.
- CcmParamsSpec: applicable to the CCM mode.

NOTE

The params parameter in init() is of the ParamsSpec type (parent class). However, a specific child class object (such as IvParamsSpec) needs to be passed in. When constructing the child class object, you need to set algName for the parent class ParamsSpec to specify the child class object in init().

IvParamsSpec

Defines the child class of ParamsSpec. It is used as the parameters of init() during symmetric encryption and decryption.

Key Conversion

  1. After getEncoded() is called for the asymmetric (RSA, ECC, or DSA) public and private keys, binary data in X.509 format and binary data in PKCS #8 format are returned, respectively. The binary data can be used for cross-application transfer or persistent storage.
  2. The public key returned by convertKey() must comply with the ASN.1 syntax, X.509 specifications, and DER encoding format, and the private key must comply with the ASN.1 syntax, PKCS #8 specifications, and DER encoding format.
  3. In convertKey(), you can pass in either pubKey or priKey, or both of them. If one of them is passed in, the returned KeyPair instance contains only the key converted from the data you passed in.

cryptoFramework.createCipher

createCipher(transformation: string): Cipher

Creates a Cipher instance based on the specified algorithm.

For details about the supported specifications, see Encryption and Decryption Specifications.

System capability: SystemCapability.Security.CryptoFramework

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
transformation string Yes Combination of the algorithm name (including the key length), encryption mode, and padding algorithm of the Cipher instance to create.
For details, see String Parameter in Encryption and Decryption Specifications.

NOTE

  1. In symmetric encryption and decryption, the implementation of PKCS #5 is the same as that of PKCS #7. PKCS #5 and PKCS #7 use the same padding length and block length. That is, data is padded with 8 bytes in 3DES and 16 bytes in AES. noPadding indicates that no padding is performed.
    You need to understand the differences between different block cipher modes and use the correct parameter specifications. For example, padding is required for ECB and CBC. Otherwise, ensure that the plaintext length is an integer multiple of the block size. No padding is recommended for other modes. In this case, the ciphertext length is the same as the plaintext length.
  2. When RSA or SM2 is used for asymmetric encryption and decryption, create a Cipher instance for encryption and decryption respectively. Do not use the same Cipher instance for encryption and decryption. For symmetric encryption and decryption, one cipher object can be used to perform both encryption and decryption as long as the algorithm specifications are the same.

Return value

Type Description
Cipher Cipher instance created.

Error codes For details about the error codes, see Crypto Framework Error Codes.

ID Error Message
401 invalid parameters.
801 this operation is not supported.

} catch (error) {
  let e: BusinessError = error as BusinessError;
  console.error(`sync error, ${e.code}, ${e.message}`);
}

Cipher

Provides APIs for cipher operations. The init(), update(), and doFinal() APIs in this class are called in sequence to implement symmetric encryption or decryption and asymmetric encryption or decryption.

For details about the complete encryption and decryption process, see Encryption and Decryption.

A complete symmetric encryption/decryption process is slightly different from the asymmetric encryption/decryption process.

  • Symmetric encryption and decryption: init() and doFinal() are mandatory. update() is optional and can be called multiple times to encrypt or decrypt big data. After doFinal() is called to complete an encryption or decryption operation, init() can be called to start a new encryption or decryption operation.
  • RSA or SM2 asymmetric encryption and decryption: init() and doFinal() are mandatory, and update() is not supported. doFinal() can be called multiple times to encrypt or decrypt big data. init() cannot be called repeatedly. If the encryption/decryption mode or padding mode is changed, a new Cipher object must be created.

Attributes

System capability: SystemCapability.Security.CryptoFramework

Name Type Readable Writable Description
algName string Yes No Algorithm.

init

init(opMode: CryptoMode, key: Key, params: ParamsSpec | null, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void

Initializes a cipher instance. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

This API can be used only after a Cipher instance is created by using createCipher.

System capability: SystemCapability.Security.CryptoFramework

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
opMode CryptoMode Yes Operation (encryption or decryption) to perform.
key Key Yes Key for encryption or decryption.
params ParamsSpec | null10+ Yes Parameters for encryption or decryption. For algorithm modes without parameters (such as ECB), null can be passed in. In versions earlier than API version 10, only ParamsSpec is supported. Since API version 10, null is also supported.
callback AsyncCallback<void> Yes Callback invoked to return the result. If the operation is successful, err is undefined. Otherwise, err is an error object.

System capability: SystemCapability.Security.CryptoFramework

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
opMode CryptoMode Yes Operation (encryption or decryption) to perform.
key Key Yes Key for encryption or decryption.

    // Perform subsequent operations such as update.
  }, (error: BusinessError) => {
    console.error(`Failed to init cipher, ${error.code}, ${error.message}`);
  })

update

update(data: DataBlob, callback: AsyncCallback<DataBlob>): void

Updates the data to encrypt or decrypt by segment. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the encrypted or decrypted data.

This API can be called only after the Cipher instance is initialized by using init().

NOTE

  1. The update() and doFinal() operation results vary with the block mode used. If you are not familiar with the block modes for symmetric encryption and decryption, add a judgment to determine whether the result of each update() and doFinal() is null. If the result is not null, obtain the data to concatenate the complete ciphertext or plaintext.
    For example, in ECB and CBC modes, data is encrypted or decrypted by block no matter whether the data passed in by update() is an integer multiple of the block length, and the encrypted/decrypted block data generated by this update() is output.
    That is, encrypted/decrypted data is returned as long as the data passed in by update() reaches the size of a block. Otherwise, null is returned and the data will be retained until a block is formed in the next update()/doFinal().
    When doFinal() is called, the data that has not been encrypted or decrypted will be padded based on the padding mode set in createCipher to an integer multiple of the block length, and then encrypted or decrypted.
    For a mode in which a block cipher can be converted into a stream cipher, the length of the ciphertext may be the same as that of the plaintext.
  2. You can use update() multiple times or do not use it (use doFinal() after init()), depending on the size of the data. The algorithm library does not set a limit on the amount of data that can be passed in by updated() (once or accumulatively). For symmetric encryption and decryption of a large amount of data, you are advised to call update() multiple times to pass in the data by segment.
    For details about the sample code for calling update() multiple times in AES, see Encryption and Decryption.
  3. RSA or SM2 asymmetric encryption and decryption do not support update().

  }
})

update

update(data: DataBlob): Promise<DataBlob>

Updates the data to encrypt or decrypt by segment. This API uses a promise to return the encrypted or decrypted data.

This API can be called only after the Cipher instance is initialized by using init().

NOTE

  1. The update() and doFinal() operation results vary with the block mode used. If you are not familiar with the block modes for symmetric encryption and decryption, add a judgment to determine whether the result of each update() and doFinal() is null. If the result is not null, obtain the data to concatenate the complete ciphertext or plaintext.
    For example, in ECB and CBC modes, data is encrypted or decrypted by block no matter whether the data passed in by update() is an integer multiple of the block length, and the encrypted/decrypted block data generated by this update() is output.
    That is, encrypted/decrypted data is returned as long as the data passed in by update() reaches the size of a block. Otherwise, null is returned and the data will be retained until a block is formed in the next update()/doFinal().
    When doFinal() is called, the data that has not been encrypted or decrypted will be padded based on the padding mode set in createCipher to an integer multiple of the block length, and then encrypted or decrypted.
    For a mode in which a block cipher can be converted into a stream cipher, the length of the ciphertext may be the same as that of the plaintext.
  2. You can use update() multiple times or do not use it (use doFinal() after init()), depending on the size of the data.
    The algorithm library does not set a limit on the amount of data that can be passed in by updated() (once or accumulatively). For symmetric encryption and decryption of a large amount of data, you are advised to call update() multiple times to pass in the data by segment.
    For details about the sample code for calling update() multiple times in AES, see Encryption and Decryption.
  3. RSA or SM2 asymmetric encryption and decryption do not support update().

Example

import { BusinessError } from '@ohos.base';

function stringToUint8Array(str: string) {
  let arr = new Uint8Array(str.length);
  for (let i = 0, j = str.length; i < j; ++i) {
    arr[i] = str.charCodeAt(i);
  }
  return arr;
}

let cipher: cryptoFramework.Cipher;        // The process of creating a Cipher instance is omitted here.
// The init() process is omitted here.
let plainText: cryptoFramework.DataBlob = {data: stringToUint8Array('this is test!')};

  .then((output) => {
    console.info(`Update cipher success.`);
    if (output != null) {
      // Concatenate output.data to the ciphertext.
    }
    // Perform subsequent operations such as doFinal().
  }, (error: BusinessError) => {
    console.info(`Update cipher failed.`);
  })

doFinal

doFinal(data: DataBlob | null, callback: AsyncCallback<DataBlob>): void

(1) Encrypts or decrypts the remaining data (generated by the block cipher mode) and the data passed in by doFinal() to finish the symmetric encryption or decryption. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the encrypted or decrypted data.
If a small amount of data needs to be encrypted or decrypted, you can use doFinal() to pass in data without using update(). If all the data has been passed in by update(), you can pass in null in data of doFinal().
The output of doFinal() varies with the symmetric encryption/decryption mode in use.

  • Symmetric encryption in GCM and CCM mode: The result consists of the ciphertext and authTag (the last 16 bytes for GCM and the last 12 bytes for CCM). If null is passed in by data of doFinal(), the result of doFinal() is authTag.
    authTag must be GcmParamsSpec or CcmParamsSpec used for decryption. The ciphertext is the data passed in for decryption.
  • Symmetric encryption and decryption in other modes and symmetric decryption in GCM and CCM modes: The result is the complete plaintext/ciphertext.

(2) Encrypts or decrypts the input data for RSA or SM2 asymmetric encryption/decryption. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result. If a large amount of data needs to be encrypted/decrypted, call doFinal() multiple times and concatenate the result of each doFinal() to obtain the complete plaintext/ciphertext.

NOTE

  1. In symmetric encryption or decryption, calling doFinal() means the end of an encryption or decryption process, and the Cipher instance state will be cleared. To start a new encryption or decryption operation, you must call init() to pass in a complete parameter list for initialization. For example, if the same symmetric key is used for a Cipher instance to perform encryption and then decryption. After the encryption is complete, the params in init for decryption must be set instead of being null.
  2. If a decryption fails, check whether the data to be encrypted and decrypted matches the parameters in init(). For the GCM mode, check whether the authTag obtained after encryption is obtained from the GcmParamsSpec for decryption.
  3. The result of doFinal() may be null. To avoid exceptions, determine whether the result is null before using the .data field to access the doFinal() result.
  4. For details about the sample code for calling doFinal() multiple times during RSA or SM2 asymmetric encryption and decryption, see Encryption and Decryption.

Sign

Provides APIs for signing. Before using any API of the Sign class, you must create a Sign instance by using createSign(algName: string): Sign. Invoke init(), update(), and sign() in this class in sequence to complete the signing operation. For details about the sample code, see Signing and Signature Verification.

The Sign class does not support repeated initialization. When a new key is used for signing, you must create a new Sign object and call init() for initialization.

The signing mode is determined in createSign(), and the key is set by init().

If the data to be signed is short, you can directly call sign() to pass in the original data for signing after init(). That is, you do not need to use update().

If the data to be signed is long, you can use update() to pass in the data by segment, and then use sign() to sign the entire data.

When update() is used, the sign() API supports only DataBlob in versions earlier than API version 10 and starts to support null since API version 10. After all the data is passed in by using update(), sign() can be called to sign the data.

Verify

Provides APIs for signature verification. Before using any API of the Verify class, you must create a Verify instance by using createVerify(algName: string): Verify. Invoke init(), update(), and sign() in this class in sequence to complete the signature verification. For details about the sample code, see Signing and Signature Verification.

The Verify class does not support repeated initialization. When a new key is used for signature verification, you must create a new Verify object and call init() for initialization.

The signature verification mode is determined in createVerify(), and key is set by init().

If the signed message is short, you can call verify() to pass in the signed message and signature (signatureData) for signature verification after init(). That is, you do not need to use update().

If the signed message is too long, you can call update() multiple times to pass in the signed message by segment, and then call verify() to verify the full text of the message. In versions earlier than API version 10, the input parameter data of verify() supports only DataBlob. Since API version 10, data also supports null. After all the data is passed in by using update(), verify() can be called to verify the signature data.

Provides APIs for computing random numbers and setting seeds. Before using any API of the Random class, you must create a Random instance by using createRandom.

Attributes

System capability: SystemCapability.Security.CryptoFramework

Name Type Readable Writable Description
algName10+ string Yes No Algorithm used to generate the random number. Currently, only CTR_DRBG is supported.

generateRandom

generateRandom(len: number, callback: AsyncCallback<DataBlob>): void

Generates a random number of the specified length. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.Security.CryptoFramework

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
len number Yes Length of the random number to generate, in bytes. The value range is [1, INT_MAX].
callback AsyncCallback<DataBlob> Yes Callback invoked to return a DataBlob object.

Error codes For details about the error codes, see Crypto Framework Error Codes.

ID Error Message
401 invalid parameters.
17620001 memory error.
17630001 crypto operation error.

Example

import { BusinessError } from '@ohos.base';

let rand = cryptoFramework.createRandom();
rand.generateRandom(12, (err, randData) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error("[Callback] err: " + err.code);
  } else {
    console.error("[Callback]: generate random result: " + randData.data);
  }
});

generateRandom

generateRandom(len: number): Promise<DataBlob>

Generates a random number of the specified length. This API uses a promise to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.Security.CryptoFramework

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
len number Yes Length of the random number to generate, in bytes. The value range is [1, INT_MAX].

Return value

Type Description
Promise<DataBlob> Promise used to return a DataBlob object.

Error codes For details about the error codes, see Crypto Framework Error Codes.

ID Error Message
401 invalid parameters.
17620001 memory error.
17630001 crypto operation error.

Example

import { BusinessError } from '@ohos.base';

let rand = cryptoFramework.createRandom();
let promiseGenerateRand = rand.generateRandom(12);
promiseGenerateRand.then(randData => {
  console.error("[Promise]: rand result: " + randData.data);
}).catch((error: BusinessError) => {
  console.error("[Promise]: error: " + error.message);
});

generateRandomSync10+

generateRandomSync(len: number): DataBlob

Generates a random number of the specified length. This API returns the result synchronously.

System capability: SystemCapability.Security.CryptoFramework

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
len number Yes Length of the random number to generate, in bytes. The value range is [1, INT_MAX].

Return value

Type Description
DataBlob Returns the generated random number.

Error codes For details about the error codes, see Crypto Framework Error Codes.

ID Error Message
401 invalid parameters.
17620001 memory error.
17630001 crypto operation error.

Example

import { BusinessError } from '@ohos.base';

let rand = cryptoFramework.createRandom();
try {
  let randData = rand.generateRandomSync(12);
  if (randData != null) {
    console.info("[Sync]: rand result: " + randData.data);
  } else {
    console.error("[Sync]: get rand result fail!");
  }
} catch (error) {
  let e: BusinessError = error as BusinessError;
  console.error(`sync error, ${e.code}, ${e.message}`);
}

setSeed

setSeed(seed: DataBlob): void

Sets a seed.

System capability: SystemCapability.Security.CryptoFramework

Name Type Mandatory Description
seed DataBlob Yes Seed to set.

Error codes For details about the error codes, see Crypto Framework Error Codes.

ID Error Message
17620001 memory error.

Example

import { BusinessError } from '@ohos.base';

let rand = cryptoFramework.createRandom();
rand.generateRandom(12, (err, randData) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error("[Callback] err: " + err.code);
  } else {
    console.info("[Callback]: generate random result: " + randData.data);
    try {
      rand.setSeed(randData);
    } catch (error) {
      let e: BusinessError = error as BusinessError;
      console.error(`sync error, ${e.code}, ${e.message}`);
    }
  }
});
