What is @hapi/iron?

The @hapi/iron package is designed for encapsulated tokens (Sealed objects) creation and management. It provides a robust suite of tools for encrypting and decrypting data, creating tamper-proof, time-limited tokens that can securely transmit information between parties. This is particularly useful for creating authentication tokens, secure cookies, and other forms of secure data exchange in web applications.

What are @hapi/iron's main functionalities?

Data Sealing

This feature allows you to encrypt an object, turning it into a sealed string. This string can then be safely transmitted or stored, with the assurance that it cannot be tampered with without detection.

const Iron = require('@hapi/iron');

async function sealData() {
  const object = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 };
  const password = 'some-not-very-secret-password';
  const sealed = await Iron.seal(object, password, Iron.defaults);
  console.log(sealed);
}

sealData();

Data Unsealing

This feature allows you to decrypt a previously sealed string, returning it to its original object form. This is crucial for accessing the data in a secure manner after it has been transmitted or stored.

const Iron = require('@hapi/iron');

async function unsealData(sealed) {
  const password = 'some-not-very-secret-password';
  const unsealed = await Iron.unseal(sealed, password, Iron.defaults);
  console.log(unsealed);
}

// Assume 'sealed' is obtained from the sealData function
// unsealData(sealed);
