LuaCrypto
A Lua frontend to OpenSSL

## Example

Below is a sample displaying the basic use of the library.

    local crypto = require("crypto")

    assert(io.input(some_file))
    local md5_of_some_file = crypto.digest("md5", io.read("*all"))

    assert(io.input(some_file))
    local hmac_of_some_file = crypto.hmac("sha1", io.read("*all"), "hmackey")

And here is a sample of the object interface to the code.

    require("crypto")

    local evp = crypto.digest.new("md5")
    for line in io.lines(some_file) do
        evp:update(line)
    end
    local md5_of_some_file = evp:final()

A quick encryption/decryption example. Uses the Blowfish algorithm. You pass the key and source file from command line, following the operation. If no file is given, uses standard input.

    require("crypto")
    assert(#arg >= 2, "Usage: lua crypt.lua <encrypt/decrypt> <key> [file]")
    cmd = arg[1]
    key = arg[2]
    file = #arg>2 and assert(io.open(arg[3], "rb")) or io.stdin
    content = file:read("*a")
    if cmd == "encrypt" then
      result = crypto.encrypt("blowfish", content, key)
    else
      result = crypto.decrypt("blowfish", content, key)
    end
    io.write(result)
