(Objective-C) Example for both AES-128 and ChaCha20 to Encrypt Binary Data

Demonstrates the use of the new EncryptBd and DecryptBd methods introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.67 to encrypt/decrypt binary bytes.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Load a small JPG file to be encrypted/decrypted.
CkoBinData *jpgBytes = [[CkoBinData alloc] init];
BOOL success = [jpgBytes LoadFile: @"qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",@"Failed to load JPG file.");
    return;
}

// Show the unencrypted JPG bytes in Base64 format.
// (The "base64_mime" encoding was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.67.
// The "base64" encoding emits a single line of base64, whereas
// "base64_mime" will emit multi-line base64 as it would appear
// in MIME.)
NSLog(@"%@",[jpgBytes GetEncoded: @"base64_mime"]);

// Sample base64_mime JPG data:

// To do chacha20 encryption, just change the settings:

crypt.CryptAlgorithm = @"chacha20";
crypt.KeyLength = [NSNumber numberWithInt:256];

// It can be any integer, but must be set to the same when decrypting.

success = [crypt EncryptBd: jpgBytes];
// jpgBytes now contains chacha20 encrypted bytes.

success = [crypt DecryptBd: jpgBytes];
// jpgBytes is now restored back to the original unencrypted by bytes.

// Save the bytes to a file..
success = [jpgBytes WriteFile: @"qa_output/starfish.jpg"];

NSLog(@"%@",@"Success.");
