❔ Examples

DSA Example

from kryptoon.quantum.dsa import Algorithm, KeyPair

# Step 1: Generate a new key pair (secret key and public key) using the MLDSA87 algorithm.
alicesk, alicepk = KeyPair(Algorithm.MLDSA.MLDSA87)

# Step 2: Restore (import) the secret key from its raw bytes.
# This simulates loading a saved secret key from storage.
secretkey = KeyPair(Algorithm.MLDSA.MLDSA87, secretkey=alicesk.secretkey)

# Step 3: Restore (import) the public key from its raw bytes.
# This simulates loading a saved public key from storage.
publickey = KeyPair(Algorithm.MLDSA.MLDSA87, publickey=alicepk.publickey)

# --- Alternative: Combined Key Import ---
# You can also restore both keys at once using a single call.
# This is useful when both the secret and public keys are available together.
secretkey, publickey = KeyPair(
    Algorithm.MLDSA.MLDSA87,
    secretkey=alicesk.secretkey,
    publickey=alicepk.publickey
)

# Step 4: Prepare the message to be signed (convert string to bytes).
message = "Hello".encode()

# Step 5: Sign the message using the secret key.
signature = secretkey.sign(message=message)

# Step 6: Verify the signature using the public key.
valid = publickey.verify(signature=signature, message=message)

# Step 7: Ensure that the signature is valid.
# If the verification fails, the program will raise an error.
assert valid, "Signature verification failed!"

# Step 8: Display the original message (decoded back to string).
print(f"Message:   [{message.decode()}]")

# Display the last 64 hex characters
print(f"Signature: [{signature.hex()[-64:]}]")
print(f"SecretKey: [{alicesk.secretkey.hex()[-64:]}]")
print(f"PublicKey: [{alicepk.publickey.hex()[-64:]}]")

KEM Example

from kryptoon.quantum.kem import Algorithm, KeyPair

# Step 1: Generate key pairs for Alice and Bob using MLKEM1024 algorithm
alicesk, alicepk = KeyPair(Algorithm.MLKEM.MLKEM1024)
_bobsk, _bobpk = KeyPair(Algorithm.MLKEM.MLKEM1024)

# --- Key Export ---
# Export Alice's keys as bytes (simulate saving keys)
alice_secret_bytes = alicesk.secretkey
alice_public_bytes = alicepk.publickey

# Export Bob's keys as bytes (simulate saving keys)
bob_secret_bytes = _bobsk.secretkey
bob_public_bytes = _bobpk.publickey

# --- Key Import ---
# Re-import Alice's keys from bytes
alicesk_restored = KeyPair(Algorithm.MLKEM.MLKEM1024, secretkey=alice_secret_bytes)
alicepk_restored = KeyPair(Algorithm.MLKEM.MLKEM1024, publickey=alice_public_bytes)

# Re-import Bob's keys from bytes
bobsk_restored = KeyPair(Algorithm.MLKEM.MLKEM1024, secretkey=bob_secret_bytes)
bobpk_restored = KeyPair(Algorithm.MLKEM.MLKEM1024, publickey=bob_public_bytes)

# Step 2: Bob encapsulates a shared secret using Alice's public key
bobss, bobct = alicepk_restored.encapsulate()

# Step 3: Alice decapsulates the ciphertext using her secret key to recover the shared secret
alicess = alicesk_restored.decapsulate(bobct)

# Step 4: Verify that both shared secrets match
assert alicess == bobss, "Shared secrets do not match!"

# Step 5: Print results
print(f"Alice's Shared Secret: [{alicess.hex()}]")
print(f"Bob's   Shared Secret: [{bobss.hex()}]")

# Display the last 64 hex characters
print(f"SecretKey:             [{alicesk_restored.secretkey.hex()[-64:]}]")
print(f"PublicKey:             [{alicepk_restored.publickey.hex()[-64:]}]")
