Encryption Messages

Message interface

MsgEncryptionRequest RequestEncrypt

type RequestEncrypt :=
  mkRequestEncrypt@{
    data : Plaintext;
    externalIdentity : ExternalIdentity;
    useReadsFor : Bool;
  };

An RequestEncrypt instructs the Encryption Engine to encrypt data to a particular external identity, possibly using known reads_for relationships.

Arguments
data:
The data to encrypt.
externalIdentity:
The external identity requesting encryption.
useReadsFor:
Whether to use known reads_for relationships or not.

MsgEncryptionResponse ResponseEncrypt

type ResponseEncrypt :=
  mkResponseEncrypt@{
    ciphertext : Ciphertext;
    err : Option String;
  };

An ResponseEncrypt contains the data encrypted by the Encryption Engine in response to an RequestEncrypt.

Arguments
ciphertext:
The encrypted data.
err:
An error message if encryption failed.

EncryptionMsg

type EncryptionMsg :=
  | MsgEncryptionRequest RequestEncrypt
  | MsgEncryptionResponse ResponseEncrypt;
