Hey everyone,
It should be possible to wrap /usr/bin/openssl and /usr/bin/base64 from Kotlin Native, no? I'm trying to wrap these to generate JWT tokens. Anyone has a good example I could look at?

[ephemient]

why not do it in-process?

[simon.vergauwen]

So not wrapping it like this? https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-app-with-c-and-libcurl.html#create-a-definition-file

Do you have any examples I could look at?

[ephemient]

that would be in-process (e.g. using libssl not the openssl command)

[ephemient]

although if all you need is HMAC-SHA256 and similar, Okio supports that itself on multiplatform so you don't even need additional native dependencies

[Christian Würthenr]

There is also this lib that wraps all the platform implementations: diglol/crypto: Diglol Crypto for Kotlin Multiplatform. (github.com)

[Christian Würthenr]

Comes with Hmac and base64 as well

[simon.vergauwen]

Oh great. I wasn't aware of that library. I tried googling... I need a better way of exploring Kotlin MPP eco-system. Thanks @Christian Würthenr! I think that was exactly what I was looking for.

@ephemient I looked at Okio as well but not sure what you mean with "in-process".

Thanks all for sharing ☺️ Think I have enough to solve my use-case.

[simon.vergauwen]

Ah, diglol is missing linux target. Only mac and relying on Apple Framework. Smart solution though!

Try searching for the term "crypto" with your target filters on kamp.petuska.dev

I didn't know about that site 😮 This is great!
