Braintree iOS Encryption

This library is for use with Braintree's payment gateway in concert with one of the supported client libraries. It encrypts sensitive payment information using the public key of an asymmetric key pair.

Getting Started

A drop-in static library is provided as a simple way to integrate Braintree with your iOS applications. The Downloads section contains a pre-compiled universal arm6/arm7/i386 library.

To use the static library follow these steps:

1. Download and unzip the latest version of libBraintreeEncryption
2. Add the BraintreeEncryption folder to your Xcode project
3. Make sure the header search path includes the BraintreeEncryption folder
4. Make sure to link against our library as well as any other frameworks you might need

If instead you want to use the library from the source files then follow these steps:

1. Clone this repo
2. Right-click on the Navigation pane in XCode and 'Add Files to "MyProject..."'
3. Select the recently cloned Braintree encryption folder
4. Make sure that the "Copy Items Into Destination Groups Folder" option is checked, then select "Add"

Here's a quick example.

Configure the library to use your public key.

  BraintreeEncryption * braintree = [[BraintreeEncryption alloc]
      initWithPublicKey:@"YOUR_CLIENT_SIDE_PUBLIC_ENCRYPTION_KEY"];

And call the encrypt method passing in the data you wish to be encrypted.

NSString* encryptedValue = [braintree encryptString: @"sensitiveValue"];

Because we are using asymmetric encryption, you will be unable to decrypt the data you have encrypted using your public encryption key. Only the Braintree Gateway will be able to decrypt these encrypted values. This means that encryptedValue is now safe to pass through your servers to be used in the Server-to-Server API of one of our client libraries.

Retrieving your Encryption Key

When Client-Side encryption is enabled for your Braintree Gateway account, a key pair is generated and you are given a specially formatted version of the public key.

Encrypting Values from UITextFields

The normal use case for this library is to encrypt a credit card number and CVV code before data is submitted to your servers. A simple example of a UIViewController might look something like this:

//MainViewController.h
@interface MainViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource> {
  UITableView * formTable;
  UITableViewCell * ccNumberCell;
  UITableViewCell * ccExpirationCell;
  UITextField * ccNumberField;
  UITextField * ccExpirationField;
  NSDictionary * cells;
}

extern NSString * const PUBLIC_KEY;

// outlets
@property(nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView * formTable;
@property(nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableViewCell * ccNumberCell;
@property(nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableViewCell * ccExpirationCell;
@property(nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField * ccNumberField;
@property(nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField * ccExpirationField;

// internal data
@property(nonatomic, retain) NSDictionary * cells;

// methods
-(IBAction) formSubmitted:(id) sender;
-(void) showAlertWithMessage:(NSString*) message;
-(NSDictionary*) getFormData;
-(NSDictionary*) encryptFormData:(NSDictionary*) formData;

@end

//MainViewController.m
#import "MainViewController.h"
#import "BraintreeEncryption.h"
#import "HTTPClient.h"
#import "JSONKit.h"


@implementation MainViewController

NSString * const PUBLIC_KEY = @"your-client-side-encryption-key";

@synthesize formTable, ccNumberField, ccExpirationField, ccNumberCell, ccExpirationCell, cells;

- (IBAction) formSubmitted:(id) sender {
  HTTPClient * http = [[[HTTPClient alloc] init] autorelease];

  [http postPath: @"/" parameters: [self encryptFormData: [self getFormData]]
    success: ^(AFHTTPRequestOperation * operation, id responseObject) {
      NSDictionary * response = [[JSONDecoder decoder] objectWithData: responseObject];
      [self showAlertWithMessage: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", response]];
    }
    failure: ^(AFHTTPRequestOperation * operation, NSError * error) {
      [self showAlertWithMessage: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", error]];
  }];
}

-(void) showAlertWithMessage: (NSString*) message {
  [[[[  UIAlertView alloc]
      initWithTitle: @"Submitted!"
      message: message
      delegate: self
      cancelButtonTitle: @"Ok! Thanks!"
      otherButtonTitles: nil]
    autorelease]
  show];
}

-(NSDictionary*) encryptFormData:(NSDictionary*) formData {
  BraintreeEncryption * braintree = [[[BraintreeEncryption alloc] initWithPublicKey: PUBLIC_KEY] autorelease];
  NSMutableDictionary * encryptedParams = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init] autorelease];

  [formData enumerateKeysAndObjectsUsingBlock:^(id key, id object, BOOL * stop) {
    [encryptedParams setObject: [braintree encryptString: object] forKey: key];
  }];

  return encryptedParams;
}

-(NSDictionary*) getFormData {
  NSMutableDictionary * formData = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init] autorelease];
  [formData setObject: ccNumberField.text     forKey: @"cc_number"];
  [formData setObject: ccExpirationField.text forKey: @"cc_exp_date"];
  return formData;
}
