This example shows how to encrypt files with Tink using Streaming Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (Streaming AEAD).
It demonstrates the basic steps of using Tink, namely loading key material, obtaining a primitive, and using the primitive to do crypto.
The key material was generated with Tinkey:
tinkey create-keyset --key-template AES128_GCM_HKDF_4KB --out-format JSON \ --out streaming_aead_test_keyset.json
git clone https://github.com/google/tink cd tink/examples/java_src bazel build ...
Encrypt a file:
echo "some data" > testdata.txt ./bazel-bin/streamingaead/streamingaead_example encrypt \ ./streamingaead/streaming_aead_test_keyset.json \ testdata.txt testdata.txt.encrypted
Decrypt a file:
./bazel-bin/streamingaead/streamingaead_example decrypt \ ./streamingaead/streaming_aead_test_keyset.json \ testdata.txt.encrypted testdata.txt.decrypted diff testdata.txt testdata.txt.decrypted
