var_expand_crypt plugin
=======================

This plugins provides generic encrypt/decrypt facility for var_expand. It
requires functional lib-dcrypt backend. For dovecot-auth process this plugin is
automatically usable.

Syntax
------

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
args=encrypted_value=%{encrypt;key=value,iv=value,noiv=yes,algo=algorithm,format=base64|hex:field}
args=decrypted_value=%{decrypt;key=value,iv=value,noiv=yes,algo=algorithm,format=base64|hex:field}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * key - hex-encoded value
 * iv  - hex-encoded value
 * noiv - whether iv is included in return value
 * algo - algorithm name (defaults to aes-256-cbc)
 * format - return format

decrypt expects input in base64 or hex format.

NOTE: It is usually best to leave iv management to dovecot, and not use iv and
noiv options at all.

Return formats
--------------

Without noiv encrypt returns iv$encrypted$. With noiv, just encrypted data is
returned. Field(s) are encoded using format.

key and iv must be the length required by the given algorithm.

Example
-------

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
%{encrypt;key=f1f2f3f4f5f6f7f8f1f2f3f4f5f6f7f8f1f2f3f4f5f6f7f8f1f2f3f4f5f6f7f8:password}

%{decrypt;key=f1f2f3f4f5f6f7f8f1f2f3f4f5f6f7f8f1f2f3f4f5f6f7f8f1f2f3f4f5f6f7f8:encrypted}
= pass
