Bindings for the crypto_auth API. See the libsodium crypto_auth docs for more information.

Constants

Buffer lengths (integer)

• crypto_auth_BYTES
• crypto_auth_KEYBYTES

String constants (string)

• crypto_auth_PRIMITIVE

crypto_auth

sodium.crypto_auth(out, in, k)

Creates an authentication token.

• out should be a buffer of length crypto_auth_BYTES
• in should be a buffer of any size
• k should be a buffer of length crypto_auth_KEYBYTES

The generated token is stored in out.

crypto_auth_verify

var bool = sodium.crypto_auth_verify(out, in, k)

Verifies a token.

• out should be a buffer of length crypto_auth_BYTES
• in should be a buffer of any size
• k should be a buffer of length crypto_auth_KEYBYTES

Returns true if the token could be verified. Otherwise false.
