What's new

Tink is a multi-language, cross-platform library that provides simple and misuse-proof APIs for common cryptographic tasks. This is Tink 1.6.0. To get started using Tink, see [the installation instructions](https://developers.google.com/tink/install-tink). # What's new The complete list of changes since 1.5.0 can be found [here](https://github.com/google/tink/compare/v1.5.0...v1.6.0). ## New documentation website We've launched a new home for Tink documentation at https://developers.google.com/tink. The site brings together content currently spread across the HOW-TOs and other markdown files throughout the project repository. Initially, we've populated the site with instructions and code snippets for the Java and Python implementations. Moving forward, expect additional content covering other language implementations, additional critical path overviews, and more. ## Java ### Key templates API Introduced the [KeyTemplates](https://google.github.io/tink/javadoc/tink/1.6.0/com/google/crypto/tink/KeyTemplates.html) class. It has a `get(name)` method that facilitates getting any registered key template. A list of currently registered key templates can be obtained by calling [`Registry.keyTemplates()`](https://google.github.io/tink/javadoc/tink/1.6.0/com/google/crypto/tink/Registry.html#keyTemplates--) ### Custom key manager method removals The following methods have been removed. Except where noted, the methods had been annotated as being deprecated. * Registry * ```public static PrimitiveSet getPrimitives(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager customManager, Class primitiveClass)``` * **not deprecated** * ```public static PrimitiveSet getPrimitives(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, Class primitiveClass)``` * **not deprecated** * ```public static PrimitiveSet getPrimitives(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager customManager)``` * ```public static PrimitiveSet getPrimitives(KeysetHandle keysetHandle)``` * KeysetHandle * ```public P getPrimitive(KeyManager customKeyManager, Class targetClassObject)``` * MacFactory * ```public static Mac getPrimitive(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager keyManager)``` * HybridDecryptFactory * ```public static HybridDecrypt getPrimitive(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager keyManager)``` * AeadFactory * ```public static Aead getPrimitive(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager keyManager)``` * PublicKeyVerifyFactory * ```public static PublicKeyVerify getPrimitive(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager keyManager)``` * PublicKeySignFactory * ```public static PublicKeySign getPrimitive(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager keyManager)``` * DeterministicAeadFactory * ```public static DeterministicAead getPrimitive(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager keyManager)``` * StreamingAeadFactory * ```public static StreamingAead getPrimitive(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager keyManager)``` * **not deprecated** * HybridEncryptFactory * ```public static HybridEncrypt getPrimitive(KeysetHandle keysetHandle, final KeyManager keyManager)``` ### Dependency updates #### org.json to GSON The project has migrated to [GSON](https://github.com/google/gson) for JSON serialization/deserialization functionality. Due to this change, the Java implementation is no longer producing HTML-safe encoding by default. This behavior aligns the Java implementation with the other language implementations of Tink. ## C++ ### FIPS only mode https://github.com/google/tink/blob/1.6/docs/FIPS.md ## Obj-C ### Support for serializing keys with non-secret key material Implemented the serializedKeysetNoSecret method on TINKKeysetHandle. This facilitates exporting public keys. # Known issues * Tink for Obj-C still does not build with Bazel. However, you can still use it in your apps by installing our prebuilt package. # Hall of Fame This release includes contributions from the following community members: - [saavan251](https://github.com/saavan251) - [iambrosie](https://github.com/iambrosie) - [gemfield](https://github.com/gemfield) - Steve Weis
