Usage

import { decrypt, encrypt } from "krip";

const SECRET = "MY_SPECIAL_KEY";

const test = async value => {
  const encrypted = await encrypt(value, SECRET);

  console.log("encrypted: ", encrypted);

  const decrypted = await decrypt(encrypted, SECRET);

  console.log("decrypted: ", decrypted);
};

test("my secret value");
// encrypted: 4439AA90B8374AA440BE3F816ADF0EA3501B61DE699264D5CAD89C381E595DD2337DCD00E7AE33F37A87C38CED
// decrypted: my secret value

API

encrypt

encrypt(value: any, secret: any, options: Object): string

Encrypt a value based on the passed secret and options. The value can be any serializable value, as can the secret (if not a string, under the hood they will be stringified).

const SECRET = {some: 'special key'};

const result = await encrypt({some: 'data'}, SECRET);

console.log(result);
// FD3740F30AEF1B25588C7227+96800272F06DCD73749802EB6FF7052614C876D30ED7398B4579295CE90FC8

options is an object of the following possible values:

{
  // charset to use when encoding / decoding text
  charset: string = 'utf-8',
  // size of the TypedArray used for the crypto iv
  ivSize: number = 12,
  // the parser used to deserialize the encrypted value
  parse: function = JSON.parse,
  // the stringifier used to serialize the secret / value to encrypt
  stringify: function = JSON.stringify,
}

decrypt

decrypt(encryptedValue: string, secret: any, options: Object): string

Decrypt the encryptedValue based on the passed secret and options. The secret must be equal in value as the one used in the encrypt method.

const SECRET = {some: 'special key'};

const encrypted = await encrypt({some: 'data'}, SECRET);

console.log(encrypted);
// FD3740F30AEF1B25588C722796800272F06DCD73749802EB6FF7052614C876D30ED7398B4579295CE90FC8

const result = await decrypt(encrypted, SECRET);

console.log(result);
// {some: 'data'}

options is an object of the following possible values:

{
  // charset to use when encoding / decoding text
  charset: string = 'utf-8',
  // size of the TypedArray used for the crypto iv
  ivSize: number = 12,
  // the parser used to deserialize the encrypted value
  parse: function = JSON.parse,
  // the stringifier used to serialize the secret
  stringify: function = JSON.stringify,
}

generateSecret

generateSecret(options: Object): CryptoKey

Generate a dynamic secret to use in encrypt or decrypt.

const SECRET = await generateSecret();

console.log(SECRET);
// CryptoKey {...}

options is an object of the following possible values:

{
  // the length of the key used when generating a key
  keyLength: number = 256,
}

hash

hash(value: any[, algorithm: string, options: Object]): string

Generate a unique SHA-based one-way hash.

const hashed = await hash('foo', 'SHA-1');

console.log(hashed);
// 0beec7b5ea3f0fdbc95d0dd47f3c5bc275da8a33

algorithm is a string of the following possible values:

• SHA-1
• SHA-256 (default)
• SHA-384
• SHA-512

options is an object of the following possible values:

{
  // charset to use when encoding / decoding text
  charset: string = 'utf-8',
  // the stringifier used to serialize the value to hash
  stringify: function = JSON.stringify,
}

Development

Standard stuff, clone the repo and npm install dependencies. The npm scripts available:

• build => run rollup to build browser and node versions
  • standard versions to top-level directory, minified versions to dist folder
• clean:dist => run rimraf on dist folder
• dev => run webpack dev server to run example app / playground
• dist => run clean:dist, build
• lint => run eslint against all files in the src folder
• lint:fix => run lint, fixing issues when possible
• prepublish => runs prepublish:compile when publishing
• prepublish:compile => run lint, test:coverage, build
• start => run dev
• test => run AVA test functions with NODE_ENV=test
• test:coverage => run test but with nyc for coverage checker
• test:watch => run test, but with persistent watcher
