Advanced tools
Encrypt/decrypt data using AES-128-GCM easily
npm install @clubedaentrega/cipher --save
// `key` is either a Buffer with 16 bytes or a hex-encoded-string
var key = '<a 128 bit key = 32 hex-chars>'
var cipher = require('@clubedaentrega/cipher')(key)
var cipherText = cipher.encrypt('some data')
var plainText = cipher.decrypt(cipherText) // 'some data'
var invalid = cipher.decrypt('invalid cipher text') // undefined
Create your encryption key with something like crypto.randomBytes(16)
