Using Threshold Decryption

There are several schemes available for the user. They follow a naming convention of <NETWORK>-<M>-of-<N>, where M is the threshold required, and N is the total size of the cohort. NETWORK is either mainnet or ibex.

An encrypter can be created by:

import { makeTDecEncrypter } from '@nucypher/nucypher-ts'

const encrypter = await makeTDecEncrypter("ibex-2-of-3");

The equivalent decrypter can be created by:

import { makeTDecDecrypter } from '@nucypher/nucypher-ts'

// you can specify your own porter url here
const decrypter = await makeTDecDecrypter("ibex-2-of-3", "https://porter-ibex.nucypher.community")

Please note, the schemes for the encrypter and decrypter must match.

Encryption and decryption is then as simple as:

const plaintext = toBytes('plaintext-message');
const encryptedMessageKit = encrypter.encryptMessage(plaintext);

const decryptedPlaintext = await decrypter.retrieveAndDecrypt([encryptedMessageKit]);
