Crypto
======

**Inherits:** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Access to advanced cryptographic functionalities.

Description
-----------

The Crypto class allows you to access some more advanced cryptographic functionalities in Godot.

For now, this includes generating cryptographically secure random bytes, and RSA keys and self-signed X509 certificates generation. More functionalities are planned for future releases.

::

    extends Node
    
    var crypto = Crypto.new()
    var key = CryptoKey.new()
    var cert = X509Certificate.new()
    
    func _ready():
        # Generate new RSA key.
        key = crypto.generate_rsa(4096)
        # Generate new self-signed certificate with the given key.
        cert = crypto.generate_self_signed_certificate(key, "CN=mydomain.com,O=My Game Company,C=IT")
        # Save key and certificate in the user folder.
        key.save("user://generated.key")
        cert.save("user://generated.crt")

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_Crypto_method_generate_random_bytes:

- :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` **generate_random_bytes** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` size **)**

Generates a :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` of cryptographically secure random bytes with given ``size``.

----

.. _class_Crypto_method_generate_rsa:

- :ref:`CryptoKey<class_CryptoKey>` **generate_rsa** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` size **)**

Generates an RSA :ref:`CryptoKey<class_CryptoKey>` that can be used for creating self-signed certificates and passed to :ref:`StreamPeerSSL.accept_stream<class_StreamPeerSSL_method_accept_stream>`.

----

.. _class_Crypto_method_generate_self_signed_certificate:

- :ref:`X509Certificate<class_X509Certificate>` **generate_self_signed_certificate** **(** :ref:`CryptoKey<class_CryptoKey>` key, :ref:`String<class_String>` issuer_name="CN=myserver,O=myorganisation,C=IT", :ref:`String<class_String>` not_before="20140101000000", :ref:`String<class_String>` not_after="20340101000000" **)**

Generates a self-signed :ref:`X509Certificate<class_X509Certificate>` from the given :ref:`CryptoKey<class_CryptoKey>` and ``issuer_name``. The certificate validity will be defined by ``not_before`` and ``not_after`` (first valid date and last valid date). The ``issuer_name`` must contain at least "CN=" (common name, i.e. the domain name), "O=" (organization, i.e. your company name), "C=" (country, i.e. 2 lettered ISO-3166 code of the country the organization is based in).

A small example to generate an RSA key and a X509 self-signed certificate.

::

    var crypto = Crypto.new()
    # Generate 4096 bits RSA key.
    var key = crypto.generate_rsa(4096)
    # Generate self-signed certificate using the given key.
    var cert = crypto.generate_self_signed_certificate(key, "CN=example.com,O=A Game Company,C=IT")
