flutter_security_provider #

A comprehensive Flutter package for secure data handling, providing AES encryption (GCM and CBC modes), key generation, HMAC-based authentication, and cryptographic utilities.

Features #

• AES-GCM Encryption: Encrypt and decrypt JSON data using AES-GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) with authenticated encryption
• AES-CBC Encryption: Encrypt and decrypt JSON data using AES-CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) mode
• Key Generation: Generate secure encryption keys using SHA-256 hashing and substitution cipher techniques
• Time-based HMAC: Create time-based HMAC signatures for API authentication and request validation
• Login Security: Generate secure login tokens with time-slot based password mixing
• Cryptographic Utilities: Generate secure random IVs and handle cryptographic operations

Installation #

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  flutter_security_provider: ^1.0.0

Then run:

flutter pub get

Usage #

Import the package:

import 'package:flutter_security_provider/flutter_security_provider.dart';

Or import specific modules:

import 'package:flutter_security_provider/encriptar_modelo_gcm.dart';
import 'package:flutter_security_provider/encriptar_modelo_cbc.dart';
// etc...

AES-GCM Encryption #

import 'package:flutter_security_provider/flutter_security_provider.dart';

// Create an encryptor with a 32-character key
final encryptor = JsonAesGcmEncryptor(
  stringKey: 'your-32-character-secret-key!!'
);

// Encrypt JSON data
final jsonData = {'username': 'john', 'password': 'secret123'};
final encrypted = encryptor.encryptJson(jsonData);
print('Encrypted: $encrypted');

// Decrypt data
final decrypted = encryptor.decryptJson(encrypted);
print('Decrypted: $decrypted');

// Use alternative key for specific operations
final encryptedAlt = encryptor.encryptJson(
  jsonData,
  'another-32-character-secret-!!'
);

AES-CBC Encryption #

import 'package:flutter_security_provider/flutter_security_provider.dart';

// Create encryptor with 16, 24, or 32 byte key
final encryptor = JsonAesCbcEncryptor(
  stringKey: '16-byte-key-here'
);

// Encrypt and decrypt JSON
final encrypted = encryptor.encryptJson({'data': 'sensitive'});
final decrypted = encryptor.decryptJson(encrypted);

Key Generation #

import 'package:flutter_security_provider/flutter_security_provider.dart';

// Generate obfuscated key using substitution cipher
final obfuscatedKey = GeneradorClave.cifrarConSustitucion('myPassword123');

// Generate 16-byte hash from string
final keyBytes = GeneradorClave.hashTo16Bytes('mySecretKey');

Time-based HMAC for API Security #

import 'package:flutter_security_provider/flutter_security_provider.dart';

// Create time-based HMAC signature
final hmac = UtilFlutterSecurityProvider.createTimeBasedHMAC(
  body: {'userId': 123, 'action': 'update'},
  key: 'your-hmac-secret-key',
  timeToSync: '0',           // Time offset in milliseconds
  validityInSeconds: '3600'  // HMAC validity window (1 hour)
);

print('HMAC: $hmac');

Login Token Generation #

import 'package:flutter_security_provider/flutter_security_provider.dart';

// Calculate current time slot
final timeSlot = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch ~/ 1000;

// Mix password with time slot for added security
final mixedPassword = GeneradorLoginPost.mezclarPalabra(
  'userPassword',
  timeSlot
);

// Generate SHA-256 hash
final hashedToken = GeneradorLoginPost.calcularHashSha256(mixedPassword);

Generate Random IV #

import 'package:flutter_security_provider/flutter_security_provider.dart';

// Generate 16-byte IV for AES encryption
final iv = UtilFlutterSecurityProvider.generateRandomIV(16);

Security Considerations #

• Key Length: Use appropriate key lengths:
  • AES-GCM: 32 bytes (256-bit)
  • AES-CBC: 16, 24, or 32 bytes (128, 192, or 256-bit)
• Key Storage: Never hardcode keys in your app. Use secure storage solutions like flutter_secure_storage
• IV Generation: IVs are automatically generated using secure random generation
• HMAC Validation: Implement server-side HMAC validation with matching time windows
• Time Synchronization: Ensure device time is synchronized for time-based operations

Dependencies #

This package relies on:

• pointycastle: ^4.0.0 - Dart implementation of cryptographic algorithms
• crypto: ^3.0.6 - Cryptographic hashing functions
• flutter_models_provider: ^1.0.2 - Model handling utilities
