BosonWare.Runtime

A lightweight .NET cryptography and encoding utility library providing essential functionality for secure data handling.

Features

Base58 Encoding/Decoding
- Standard Base58 implementation
- Configurable encoding/decoding pipeline
Cryptography Services
- AES encryption/decryption
- RSA encryption with PEM support
- Ephemeral key generation
- PBKDF2 key derivation
Binary Parsing
- Integer parsing (16/32/64 bit)
- Floating point parsing (32/64 bit)
Text User Interface (TUI) Utilities
- Rich console output with ANSI color markup (e.g., [GREEN], [RED], [DIM])
- Thread-safe console writing and reading
- Animated console output for enhanced user feedback
- Secure password input with optional confirmation
- Built-in logging helpers for info, warning, and error messages

Installation

This package targets .NET 8.0+.

dotnet add package BosonWare.Runtime

Usage Examples

Encryption

// Base58 encoding
var data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello, World!");
var encoded = Base58.EncodeData(data);

// AES encryption
var key = EphemeralKeys.Get("sessionKey");
using var aes = new AesEncryptionService(key);
var encrypted = aes.Encrypt(data);

TUI

// Write a message with ANSI markup.
SmartConsole.WriteLine("[red]This text is red[/]\n[green]This text is green[/]");

// Converting markup to raw ANSI text.
var txt = AnsiCodes.ProcessMarkup("[bright]This is a test of the[/] [red]ANSI[/] codes in [green]BosonWare.Runtime[/].");

Console.WriteLine(txt);

Release Notes

Add memory-optimized Base58 encoding implementation

Introduces a new optimized Base58 encoder/decoder that uses unsafe memory operations for better performance.

Implementation includes:

Memory-efficient encoding and decoding using UnsafeMemory
Leading zero handling and whitespace trimming
Proper error handling for invalid Base58 data

Adds supporting JetBrains annotation attributes for better code analysis and documentation.
