Chaskey is a lightweight 128-bit encryption algorithm
(please follow this link for details http://mouha.be/chaskey/)
This project provides C++ and JavaScript implementations of Chaskey algorithm with two modes of operations: CBC and MAC.
Design of both C++ and JavaScript versions follows high-granular decomposition on the following abstractions:
In C++ primitives are implemented as templates, so that a cipher instance ultimately appears as Cbc<Cipher<N>,Formatter>
or Mac<Cipher<N>,Formatter>
, where N is a number of transformation rounds, set equal to 8 in Chaskey8 class.
In JavaScript same primitives are implemented as objects . Online demo is available on http://hutorny.in.ua/chaskey/

// MAC
crypto::chaskey::Cipher8::Mac mac; // instantiate a cipher in MAC mode
mac.set(key); // set the key
mac.init(); // init cipher if instance is reused
mac.update(message,length,false); // make as many calls as needed with any message length
mac.update(message,length,true); // make one final call
mac.write(ouput); // write signature to the output or
mac.verify(tag); // verify against a signature
// CBC
crypto::chaskey::Cipher8::Cbc cbc; // instantiate a cipher in CBC mode
cbc.set(key); // set the key
cbc.init(nonce, strlen(nonce)); // init cipher with a nonce
while(in) {
char msg[chunk_size];
size_t len = in.read(msg,sizeof(msg)).gcount(); // read input by chunks
cbc.encrypt(out, (const uint8_t*)msg, len, in.eof()); // and encrypt or
//cbc.encrypt(out, (const uint8_t*)msg, len, in.eof()); // decrypt data
}
// CLOC
crypto::chaskey::Cipher8::Cloc cloc; // instantiate a cipher in CLOC mode
cloc.set(key); // set the key
cloc.init(); // inity before reusing instance
cloc.update(ad, length, false); // feed AD by chunks
cloc.update(ad, length, true); // feed last AD chunk
cloc.nonce(nonce, length); // apply noce
cloc.encrypt(out, datachunk, false); // feed data by chunks
cloc.encrypt(out, lastdatachunk, true); // feed last data chunk
// MAC
var mac = new ChaskeyCipher.Mac(); // instantiate a cipher in MAC mode
mac.set(key); // set the key
var cif = mac.sign(message); // sign the message
// CBC
var cbc = new ChaskeyCipher.Cbc(); // instantiate a cipher in CBC mode
cbc.set(key); // set the key
cbc.init(nonce); // init cipher with a nonce
var cif = cbc.encrypt(message); // encrypt the message
