# Salsa20 Control

The Salsa20 control can be used to encrypt and decrypt data with the XSalsa20 and Salsa20 algorithm.

## Syntax

**Salsa20**

## Remarks

The control implements XSalsa20 as well as Salsa20. The [Algorithm](#algorithm-property-salsa20-control) property specifies which algorithm to use when encrypting and decryption. In addition the 12 and 8 round variants of Salsa20 are supported.

Data may be encrypted and decrypted in its entirety by calling [Encrypt](#encrypt-method-salsa20-control) and [Decrypt](#decrypt-method-salsa20-control) or chunk by chunk by calling [EncryptBlock](#encryptblock-method-salsa20-control) and [DecryptBlock](#decryptblock-method-salsa20-control).

In all operations a [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) must be used. If [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) is not set one is automatically generated. [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control) may be set in order to automatically generate both a [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) when a method is called. The same [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control), or [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) pair are used on both sides of the operation data can be encrypted and decrypted.

## Encrypt Notes

[Encrypt](#encrypt-method-salsa20-control) will encrypt the specified data. The following properties are applicable:

- [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) (required)
- [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) (required)

**Input and Output Properties**

The control will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-salsa20-control)
- [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-salsa20-control)

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-salsa20-control)
- [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-salsa20-control): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

**Additional Notes**

The [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) property must be set to a 256 bit (32 byte) value. This is the only allowed value for ChaCha20. If [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control) is set both [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) will be automatically generated when [Encrypt](#encrypt-method-salsa20-control) is called.

The [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) must be set to a 192 bit (24 byte) value when [Algorithm](#algorithm-property-salsa20-control) is set to XSalsa. The [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) must be set to a 64 bit (8 byte) value when [Algorithm](#algorithm-property-salsa20-control) is set to Salsa.

If [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) is not set a value will automatically be generated by the control when [Encrypt](#encrypt-method-salsa20-control) is called.

During encryption the [Progress](#progress-event-salsa20-control) event will fire as data is encrypted.

**Encrypt Example**

```csharp
Salsa20 salsa = new Salsa20();

//32 Bytes
salsa.KeyB = new byte[] { 0xBB, 0x76, 0x17, 0xC9, 0x05, 0x73, 0x4A, 0x8D, 0x59, 0x9D, 0x7B, 0x0D, 0x86, 0x2A, 0x03, 0x82, 0x50, 0x6A, 0x70, 0xFB, 0xA8, 0x56, 0x47, 0x1B, 0x1E, 0x68, 0x0B, 0x2B, 0x34, 0x18, 0x0F, 0xE2 };

//24 Bytes
salsa.IVB = new byte[] { 0x0D, 0xE4, 0x43, 0x40, 0x29, 0xAD, 0x70, 0x7D, 0x7B, 0x32, 0xB5, 0xC7, 0x0D, 0xE4, 0x43, 0x40, 0x29, 0xAD, 0x70, 0x7D, 0x7B, 0x32, 0xB5, 0xC7 };

salsa.InputMessage = "hello salsa!";
salsa.Encrypt();

//salsa.OutputMessageB contains the byte[] of the encrypted data. The above code produces the following encrypted bytes.
// { 0x06, 0xF4, 0xD9, 0xB4, 0x67, 0x31, 0x1C, 0x1E, 0x8E, 0xD6, 0xB5, 0x6B }
```

## Encrypt Block Notes

[EncryptBlock](#encryptblock-method-salsa20-control) will encrypt the input data and return the encrypted block. The encrypted block will always be the same length as the decrypted data. The following properties are applicable:

- [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) (required)
- [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) (required)

*InputBuffer* specifies the input data to encrypt.

**EncryptBlock Example**

```csharp
Salsa20 salsa = new Salsa20();

//32 Bytes
salsa.KeyB = new byte[] { 0xBB, 0x76, 0x17, 0xC9, 0x05, 0x73, 0x4A, 0x8D, 0x59, 0x9D, 0x7B, 0x0D, 0x86, 0x2A, 0x03, 0x82, 0x50, 0x6A, 0x70, 0xFB, 0xA8, 0x56, 0x47, 0x1B, 0x1E, 0x68, 0x0B, 0x2B, 0x34, 0x18, 0x0F, 0xE2 };

//24 Bytes
salsa.IVB = new byte[] { 0x0D, 0xE4, 0x43, 0x40, 0x29, 0xAD, 0x70, 0x7D, 0x7B, 0x32, 0xB5, 0xC7, 0x0D, 0xE4, 0x43, 0x40, 0x29, 0xAD, 0x70, 0x7D, 0x7B, 0x32, 0xB5, 0xC7 };

byte[] tempEncryptedBlock;

//Encrypt any number of blocks of any size
tempEncryptedBlock = salsa.EncryptBlock(part1);
tempEncryptedBlock = salsa.EncryptBlock(part2);
```

## Decrypt Notes

[Decrypt](#decrypt-method-salsa20-control) will decrypt the specified data. The following properties are applicable:

- [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) (required)
- [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) (required)

**Input and Output Properties**

The control will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-salsa20-control)
- [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-salsa20-control)

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-salsa20-control)
- [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-salsa20-control): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

**Additional Notes**

The [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) property must be set to the 256 bit (32 byte) value originally used to encrypt the data. [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) must be set to the original IV value used to encrypt the data.

If using a password, [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control) must be set to the same [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control) used when encrypting the data. This will automatically generate both [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) when [Decrypt](#decrypt-method-salsa20-control) is called.

During decryption the [Progress](#progress-event-salsa20-control) event will fire as data is decrypted.

**Decrypt Example**

```csharp
Salsa20 salsa = new Salsa20();

//32 Bytes
salsa.KeyB = new byte[] { 0xBB, 0x76, 0x17, 0xC9, 0x05, 0x73, 0x4A, 0x8D, 0x59, 0x9D, 0x7B, 0x0D, 0x86, 0x2A, 0x03, 0x82, 0x50, 0x6A, 0x70, 0xFB, 0xA8, 0x56, 0x47, 0x1B, 0x1E, 0x68, 0x0B, 0x2B, 0x34, 0x18, 0x0F, 0xE2 };

salsa.InputMessageB = new byte[] { 0x06, 0xF4, 0xD9, 0xB4, 0x67, 0x31, 0x1C, 0x1E, 0x8E, 0xD6, 0xB5, 0x6B };
salsa.Decrypt();

Console.WriteLine(salsa.OutputMessage); //outputs "hello salsa!"
```

## Decrypt Block Notes

[DecryptBlock](#decryptblock-method-salsa20-control) will decrypt the input data and return the decrypted block. The decrypted block will always be the same length as the encrypted data. The following properties are applicable:

- [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) (required)
- [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) (required)

*InputBuffer* specifies the input data to decrypt.

## Data Type

Boolean

# UseHex Property ([Salsa20](#salsa20-control) Control)

Whether input or output is hex encoded.

## Syntax

```text
salsa20control.UseHex[=boolean]
```

## Default Value

False

## Remarks

This property specifies whether the encrypted data is hex encoded.

If set to True, when [Encrypt](#encrypt-method-salsa20-control) is called the control will perform the encryption as normal and then hex encode the output. [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-salsa20-control) or [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-salsa20-control) will hold hex encoded data.

If set to True, when [Decrypt](#decrypt-method-salsa20-control) is called the control will expect [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-salsa20-control) or [InputFile](#inputfile-property-salsa20-control) to hold hex encoded data. The control will then hex decode the data and perform decryption as normal.

## Data Type

Boolean

# Config Method ([Salsa20](#salsa20-control) Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

```text
salsa20control.Config ConfigurationString
```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-salsa20-control) for the control.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-salsa20-control), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# Decrypt Method ([Salsa20](#salsa20-control) Control)

Decrypts the data.

## Syntax

```text
salsa20control.Decrypt
```

## Remarks

Decrypt will decrypt the specified data. The following properties are applicable:

- [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) (required)
- [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) (required)

**Input and Output Properties**

The control will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-salsa20-control)
- [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-salsa20-control)

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-salsa20-control)
- [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-salsa20-control): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

**Additional Notes**

The [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) property must be set to the 256 bit (32 byte) value originally used to encrypt the data. [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) must be set to the original IV value used to encrypt the data.

If using a password, [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control) must be set to the same [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control) used when encrypting the data. This will automatically generate both [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) when Decrypt is called.

During decryption the [Progress](#progress-event-salsa20-control) event will fire as data is decrypted.

**Decrypt Example**

```csharp
Salsa20 salsa = new Salsa20();

//32 Bytes
salsa.KeyB = new byte[] { 0xBB, 0x76, 0x17, 0xC9, 0x05, 0x73, 0x4A, 0x8D, 0x59, 0x9D, 0x7B, 0x0D, 0x86, 0x2A, 0x03, 0x82, 0x50, 0x6A, 0x70, 0xFB, 0xA8, 0x56, 0x47, 0x1B, 0x1E, 0x68, 0x0B, 0x2B, 0x34, 0x18, 0x0F, 0xE2 };

# Encrypt Method ([Salsa20](#salsa20-control) Control)

Encrypts the data.

## Syntax

```text
salsa20control.Encrypt
```

## Remarks

Encrypt will encrypt the specified data. The following properties are applicable:

- [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) (required)
- [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) (required)

**Input and Output Properties**

The control will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.

The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:

- [InputFile](#inputfile-property-salsa20-control)
- [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-salsa20-control)

When a valid source is found, the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:

- [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-salsa20-control)
- [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-salsa20-control): The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.

**Additional Notes**

The [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) property must be set to a 256 bit (32 byte) value. This is the only allowed value for ChaCha20. If [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control) is set both [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) will be automatically generated when Encrypt is called.

The [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) must be set to a 192 bit (24 byte) value when [Algorithm](#algorithm-property-salsa20-control) is set to XSalsa. The [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) must be set to a 64 bit (8 byte) value when [Algorithm](#algorithm-property-salsa20-control) is set to Salsa.

If [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) is not set a value will automatically be generated by the control when Encrypt is called.

During encryption the [Progress](#progress-event-salsa20-control) event will fire as data is encrypted.

**Encrypt Example**

```csharp
Salsa20 salsa = new Salsa20();

//32 Bytes
salsa.KeyB = new byte[] { 0xBB, 0x76, 0x17, 0xC9, 0x05, 0x73, 0x4A, 0x8D, 0x59, 0x9D, 0x7B, 0x0D, 0x86, 0x2A, 0x03, 0x82, 0x50, 0x6A, 0x70, 0xFB, 0xA8, 0x56, 0x47, 0x1B, 0x1E, 0x68, 0x0B, 0x2B, 0x34, 0x18, 0x0F, 0xE2 };

//24 Bytes
salsa.IVB = new byte[] { 0x0D, 0xE4, 0x43, 0x40, 0x29, 0xAD, 0x70, 0x7D, 0x7B, 0x32, 0xB5, 0xC7, 0x0D, 0xE4, 0x43, 0x40, 0x29, 0xAD, 0x70, 0x7D, 0x7B, 0x32, 0xB5, 0xC7 };

salsa.InputMessage = "hello salsa!";
salsa.Encrypt();

//salsa.OutputMessageB contains the byte[] of the encrypted data. The above code produces the following encrypted bytes.
// { 0x06, 0xF4, 0xD9, 0xB4, 0x67, 0x31, 0x1C, 0x1E, 0x8E, 0xD6, 0xB5, 0x6B }
```

# EncryptBlock Method ([Salsa20](#salsa20-control) Control)

Encrypts data and returns the encrypted block.

## Syntax

```text
salsa20control.EncryptBlock InputBuffer
```

## Remarks

EncryptBlock will encrypt the input data and return the encrypted block. The encrypted block will always be the same length as the decrypted data. The following properties are applicable:

- [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) (required)
- [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) (required)

*InputBuffer* specifies the input data to encrypt.

**EncryptBlock Example**

```csharp
Salsa20 salsa = new Salsa20();

//32 Bytes
salsa.KeyB = new byte[] { 0xBB, 0x76, 0x17, 0xC9, 0x05, 0x73, 0x4A, 0x8D, 0x59, 0x9D, 0x7B, 0x0D, 0x86, 0x2A, 0x03, 0x82, 0x50, 0x6A, 0x70, 0xFB, 0xA8, 0x56, 0x47, 0x1B, 0x1E, 0x68, 0x0B, 0x2B, 0x34, 0x18, 0x0F, 0xE2 };

//24 Bytes
salsa.IVB = new byte[] { 0x0D, 0xE4, 0x43, 0x40, 0x29, 0xAD, 0x70, 0x7D, 0x7B, 0x32, 0xB5, 0xC7, 0x0D, 0xE4, 0x43, 0x40, 0x29, 0xAD, 0x70, 0x7D, 0x7B, 0x32, 0xB5, 0xC7 };

byte[] tempEncryptedBlock;

//Encrypt any number of blocks of any size
tempEncryptedBlock = salsa.EncryptBlock(part1);
tempEncryptedBlock = salsa.EncryptBlock(part2);
```

# Reset Method ([Salsa20](#salsa20-control) Control)

Resets the control.

## Syntax

```text
salsa20control.Reset
```

## Remarks

When called, the control will reset all of its properties to their default values.

# Error Event ([Salsa20](#salsa20-control) Control)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

## Syntax

```text
Sub salsa20control_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)
```

## Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.

The *ErrorCode* parameter contains an error code, and the *Description* parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-salsa20-control) section.

# Progress Event ([Salsa20](#salsa20-control) Control)

Fired as progress is made.

## Syntax

```text
Sub salsa20control_Progress(BytesProcessed As Long64, PercentProcessed As Integer)
```

## Remarks

This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the control.

The *PercentProcessed* parameter indicates the current status of the operation.

The *BytesProcessed* parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.

# Config Settings ([Salsa20](#salsa20-control) Control)

 The control accepts one or more of the following *configuration settings*. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [Config](#config-method-salsa20-control) method.

### XSalsa20 Config Settings

**EncryptedDataEncoding**: The encoding of the encrypted input or output data.This configuration setting specifies how the encrypted data is encoded (if at all).

When [Encrypt](#encrypt-method-salsa20-control) is called the control will perform the encryption as normal and then encode the output as specified here. [OutputMessage](#outputmessage-property-salsa20-control) or [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-salsa20-control) will hold the encoded data.

When [Decrypt](#decrypt-method-salsa20-control) is called the control will expect [InputMessage](#inputmessage-property-salsa20-control) or [InputFile](#inputfile-property-salsa20-control) to hold the encoded data as specified here. The control will then decode the data and perform decryption as normal.

Possible values are:

- 0 (none - default)
- 1 (Base64)
- 2 (Hex)
- 3 (Base64URL)

**IncludeIV**: Whether to prepend the IV to the output data and read the IV from the input data.If this config is true, the IV will be automatically prepended to the output data when calling [Encrypt](#encrypt-method-salsa20-control). When calling [Decrypt](#decrypt-method-salsa20-control) and this setting is True, the IV is automatically extracted form the ciphertext. The default value is False.

**KeyPasswordAlgorithm**: The hash algorithm used to derive the Key and IV from the KeyPassword property.This configuration setting specifies which hash algorithm will be used when deriving the [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control) from [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control). The default value is "MD5". Possible values are:

- "SHA1"
- "MD2"
- "MD5" (default)
- "HMAC-SHA1"
- "HMAC-SHA224"
- "HMAC-SHA256"
- "HMAC-SHA384"
- "HMAC-SHA512"
- "HMAC-MD5"
- "HMAC-RIPEMD160"

When using any HMAC algorithm the PBKDF#2 method from RFC 2898 is used. Any other algorithm uses PBKDF#1 from the same RFC.

**KeyPasswordIterations**: The number of iterations performed when using KeyPassword to derive the Key and IV.This configuration setting specifies the number of iterations performed when using [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control) to calculate values for [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control). When using PBKDF#2 the default number of iterations is 10,000. When using PBKDF#1 the default number is 10.

**KeyPasswordSalt**: The salt value used in conjunction with the KeyPassword to derive the Key and IV.This configuration setting specifies the hex encoded salt value to be used along with the [KeyPassword](#keypassword-property-salsa20-control) when calculating values for [Key](#key-property-salsa20-control) and [IV](#iv-property-salsa20-control).

**SalsaRounds**: The number of rounds to perform.This setting specifies the number of rounds to perform. The default value is 20. The control also supports 12 and 8 round variants which offer better performance but reduce overall security. This setting is only applicable when [Algorithm](#algorithm-property-salsa20-control) is set to *saSALSA20*. Possible values are:

- 20 (default - recommended)
- 12
- 8

### Base Config Settings

**CodePage**: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

**MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *True* to mask sensitive data. The default is *True*.

**UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *False*, the control will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to *True* tells the control to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

 This setting is set to *False* by default on all platforms.
