+description: Get started with the Dapr Cryptography building block
+---
+
+{{% alert title="Alpha" color="warning" %}}
+The cryptography building block is currently in **alpha**.
+{{% /alert %}}
+
+Let's take a look at the Dapr [cryptography building block]({{< ref cryptography >}}). In this Quickstart, you'll create an application that encrypts and decrypts data using the Dapr cryptography APIs. You'll:
+
+- Encrypt and then decrypt a short string (using an RSA key), reading the result in-memory, in a Go byte slice.
+- Encrypt and then decrypt a large file (using an AES key), storing the encrypted and decrypted data to files using streams.
+
+
+
+{{% alert title="Note" color="primary" %}}
+This example uses the Dapr SDK, which leverages gRPC and is **strongly** recommended when using cryptographic APIs to encrypt and decrypt messages.
+{{% /alert %}}
+
+Currently, you can experience the cryptography API using the Go SDK.
+
+{{< tabs "Go" >}}
+
+
+{{% codetab %}}
+
+> This quickstart includes a Go application called `crypto-quickstart`.
+
+### Pre-requisites
+
+For this example, you will need:
+
+- [Dapr CLI and initialized environment](https://docs.dapr.io/getting-started).
+- [Latest version of Go](https://go.dev/dl/).
+
+- [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop)
+
+- [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/source/) available on your system
+
+### Step 1: Set up the environment
+
+Clone the [sample provided in the Quickstarts repo](https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts/tree/master/cryptography)
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts.git
+```
+
+In the terminal, from the root directory, navigate to the cryptography sample.
+
+```bash
+cd cryptography/go/sdk
+```
+
+### Step 2: Run the application with Dapr
+
+Navigate into the folder with the source code:
+
+```bash
+cd ./crypto-quickstart
+```
+
+The application code defines two required keys:
+- Private RSA key
+- A 256-bit symmetric (AES) key
+
+Generate two keys, an RSA key and and AES key using OpenSSL and write these to two files:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p keys
+# Generate a private RSA key, 4096-bit keys
+openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:4096 -out keys/rsa-private-key.pem
+# Generate a 256-bit key for AES
+openssl rand -out keys/symmetric-key-256 32
+```
+
+Run the Go service app with Dapr:
+
+```bash
+dapr run --app-id crypto-quickstart --resources-path ../../../components/ -- go run .
+```
+
+**Expected output**
+
+```
+== APP == dapr client initializing for: 127.0.0.1:52407
+== APP == Encrypted the message, got 856 bytes
+== APP == Decrypted the message, got 24 bytes
+== APP == The secret is "passw0rd"
+== APP == Wrote decrypted data to encrypted.out
+== APP == Wrote decrypted data to decrypted.out.jpg
+```
+
+### What happened?
+
+#### `local-storage.yaml`
+
+Earlier, you created a directory inside `crypto-quickstarts` called `keys`. In [the `local-storage` component YAML](https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts/tree/master/cryptography/components/local-storage.yaml), the `path` metadata maps to the newly created `keys` directory.
+
+```yml
+apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Component
+metadata:
+ name: localstorage
+spec:
+ type: crypto.dapr.localstorage
+ version: v1
+ metadata:
+ - name: path
+ # Path is relative to the folder where the example is located
+ value: ./keys
+```
+
+#### `app.go`
+
+[The application file](https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts/tree/master/cryptography/go/sdk/crypto-quickstart/app.go) encrypts and decrypts messages and files using the RSA and AES keys that you generated. The application creates a new Dapr SDK client:
+
+```go
+func main() {
+ // Create a new Dapr SDK client
+ client, err := dapr.NewClient()
+
+ //...
+
+ // Step 1: encrypt a string using the RSA key, then decrypt it and show the output in the terminal
+ encryptDecryptString(client)
+
+ // Step 2: encrypt a large file and then decrypt it, using the AES key
+ encryptDecryptFile(client)
+}
+```
+
+##### Encrypting and decrypting a string using the RSA key
+
+Once the client is created, the application encrypts a message:
+
+```go
+func encryptDecryptString(client dapr.Client) {
+ // ...
+
+ // Encrypt the message
+ encStream, err := client.Encrypt(context.Background(),
+ strings.NewReader(message),
+ dapr.EncryptOptions{
+ ComponentName: CryptoComponentName,
+ // Name of the key to use
+ // Since this is a RSA key, we specify that as key wrapping algorithm
+ KeyName: RSAKeyName,
+ KeyWrapAlgorithm: "RSA",
+ },
+ )
+
+ // ...
+
+ // The method returns a readable stream, which we read in full in memory
+ encBytes, err := io.ReadAll(encStream)
+ // ...
+
+ fmt.Printf("Encrypted the message, got %d bytes\n", len(encBytes))
+```
+
+The application then decrypts the message:
+
+```go
+ // Now, decrypt the encrypted data
+ decStream, err := client.Decrypt(context.Background(),
+ bytes.NewReader(encBytes),
+ dapr.DecryptOptions{
+ // We just need to pass the name of the component
+ ComponentName: CryptoComponentName,
+ // Passing the name of the key is optional
+ KeyName: RSAKeyName,
+ },
+ )
+
+ // ...
+
+ // The method returns a readable stream, which we read in full in memory
+ decBytes, err := io.ReadAll(decStream)
+
+ // ...
+
+ // Print the message on the console
+ fmt.Printf("Decrypted the message, got %d bytes\n", len(decBytes))
+ fmt.Println(string(decBytes))
+}
+```
+
+##### Encrypt and decrpyt a large file using the AES key
+
+Next, the application encrypts a large image file:
+
+```go
+func encryptDecryptFile(client dapr.Client) {
+ const fileName = "liuguangxi-66ouBTTs_x0-unsplash.jpg"
+
+ // Get a readable stream to the input file
+ plaintextF, err := os.Open(fileName)
+
+ // ...
+
+ defer plaintextF.Close()
+
+ // Encrypt the file
+ encStream, err := client.Encrypt(context.Background(),
+ plaintextF,
+ dapr.EncryptOptions{
+ ComponentName: CryptoComponentName,
+ // Name of the key to use
+ // Since this is a symmetric key, we specify AES as key wrapping algorithm
+ KeyName: SymmetricKeyName,
+ KeyWrapAlgorithm: "AES",
+ },
+ )
+
+ // ...
+
+ // Write the encrypted data to a file "encrypted.out"
+ encryptedF, err := os.Create("encrypted.out")
+
+ // ...
+
+ encryptedF.Close()
+
+ fmt.Println("Wrote decrypted data to encrypted.out")
+```
+
+The application then decrypts the large image file:
+
+```go
+ // Now, decrypt the encrypted data
+ // First, open the file "encrypted.out" again, this time for reading
+ encryptedF, err = os.Open("encrypted.out")
+
+ // ...
+
+ defer encryptedF.Close()
+
+ // Now, decrypt the encrypted data
+ decStream, err := client.Decrypt(context.Background(),
+ encryptedF,
+ dapr.DecryptOptions{
+ // We just need to pass the name of the component
+ ComponentName: CryptoComponentName,
+ // Passing the name of the key is optional
+ KeyName: SymmetricKeyName,
+ },
+ )
+
+ // ...
+
+ // Write the decrypted data to a file "decrypted.out.jpg"
+ decryptedF, err := os.Create("decrypted.out.jpg")
+
+ // ...
+
+ decryptedF.Close()
+
+ fmt.Println("Wrote decrypted data to decrypted.out.jpg")
+}
+```
