This commit introduces a new `enchantrix` package that provides a flexible and powerful way to transform data using a "Sigil" interface. The package includes implementations for various encoding types (hex, base64, gzip, json) and a comprehensive set of cryptographic hash functions.
The `trix` package has been refactored to use the new `enchantrix` package, and its API has been simplified to use string identifiers for Sigils, making it easier to use and decoupling it from the implementation details of the `enchantrix` package.
All new functionality is fully tested, and the existing tests have been updated to reflect the API changes.
This commit enhances the Trix container with two new features for improved data integrity and flexibility:
1. **Configurable Checksums:**
- The `Trix` struct now has a `ChecksumAlgo` field to specify a hash algorithm.
- If set, `Encode` computes a checksum of the payload and adds it to the header.
- `Decode` verifies this checksum, returning an error if it doesn't match, ensuring data integrity during transit.
2. **Asymmetrical Sigils:**
- The `Sigils` field has been replaced with `InSigils` and `OutSigils` to support different transformation chains for packing and unpacking.
- If `OutSigils` is not set, `Unpack` defaults to using the `InSigils` chain to maintain the previous symmetrical behavior.
These features make the `Trix` container a more robust and self-verifying format for internal data transfer.
This commit introduces a new, generic `.trix` file format, which is decoupled from any specific encryption algorithm.
The format is defined in `docs/trix_format.md` and consists of a magic number, version, a flexible JSON header, and a raw data payload.
A new `trix` Go package is implemented to handle the encoding and decoding of this format. Unit tests are included to verify the implementation.
An example file, `examples/main.go`, is also added to demonstrate how to use the `.trix` container to store data encrypted with the `chachapoly` package, showcasing the intended decoupled design.
