(Swift 2) ChaCha20 Encryption

Demonstrates ChaCha20 encryption and decryption. (Introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.55) This example duplicates the results of Test Vector #3 for ChaCha20 Encryption in RFC 7539.

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

    let crypt = CkoCrypt2()

    // Set the encryption algorithm to chacha20
    // chacha20 is a stream cipher, and therefore no cipher mode applies.
    crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "chacha20"

    // The key length for chacha20 is always 256-bits.
    crypt.KeyLength = 256

    // Note: "padding" only applies to block encryption algorithmns.
    // Since chacha20 is a stream cipher, there is no padding and the output
    // number of bytes is exactly equal to the input.

    // EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the output for
    // encryption, and the input for decryption.
    // Valid modes are (case insensitive) "Base64", "modBase64", "Base32", "Base58", "UU", 
    // "QP" (for quoted-printable), "URL" (for url-encoding), "Hex", 
    // "Q", "B", "url_oauth", "url_rfc1738", "url_rfc2396", and "url_rfc3986".
    crypt.EncodingMode = "hex"

    // The inputs to ChaCha20 encryption, specified by RFC 7539, are:
    // 1) A 256-bit secret key.
    // 2) A 96-bit nonce.
    // 3) A 32-bit initial count.
    // The IV property is used to specify the chacha20 nonce.
    // For a 96-bit nonce, the IV should be 12 bytes in length.
    // 
    // Note: Some implementations of chacha20, such as that used internally by SSH,
    // use a 64-bit nonce and 64-bit count.  To do chacha20 encryption in this way,
    // simply provide 8 bytes for the IV instead of 12 bytes.  Chilkat will then automatically
    // use 8 bytes (64-bits) for the count. 

    // This example duplicates Test Vector #3 (for ChaCha20 encryption) from RFC 7539.
    var ivHex: String? = "000000000000000000000002"
    crypt.SetEncodedIV(ivHex, encoding: "hex")

    crypt.InitialCount = 42

    var keyHex: String? = "1c9240a5eb55d38af333888604f6b5f0473917c1402b80099dca5cbc207075c0"
    crypt.SetEncodedKey(keyHex, encoding: "hex")

    var plainText: String? = "'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves\nDid gyre and gimble in the wabe:\nAll mimsy were the borogoves,\nAnd the mome raths outgrabe."

    var encStr: String? = crypt.EncryptStringENC(plainText)
    print("\(encStr!)")

    // Now decrypt:
    var decStr: String? = crypt.DecryptStringENC(encStr)
    print("\(decStr!)")
