@types/crypto-js

What is @types/crypto-js?

The @types/crypto-js package provides TypeScript type definitions for the crypto-js library, which is a collection of cryptographic algorithms implemented in JavaScript. It allows developers to work with crypto-js in TypeScript projects by offering type checking and IntelliSense support for the various cryptographic functions provided by crypto-js.

What are @types/crypto-js's main functionalities?

Hashing

This feature allows for the generation of cryptographic hashes using various algorithms like SHA256. The code sample demonstrates how to create a SHA256 hash of a message.

import CryptoJS from 'crypto-js';
const message = 'hello';
const hash = CryptoJS.SHA256(message).toString();
console.log(hash);

Encryption/Decryption

This feature enables the encryption and decryption of messages using symmetric-key algorithms like AES. The code sample shows how to encrypt and then decrypt a message using AES with a secret key.

import CryptoJS from 'crypto-js';
const message = 'secret message';
const key = 'secret key';
const encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(message, key).toString();
const decrypted = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(encrypted, key).toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);
console.log(decrypted);

HMAC

This feature provides the ability to generate Hash-based Message Authentication Codes (HMAC) using various hash functions. The code sample illustrates generating an HMAC using the SHA256 hash function and a secret key.

import CryptoJS from 'crypto-js';
const message = 'message';
const key = 'secret';
const hmac = CryptoJS.HmacSHA256(message, key).toString();
console.log(hmac);

Other packages similar to @types/crypto-js

bcryptjs

bcryptjs is a JavaScript library for hashing and salting passwords using the bcrypt hashing function. It is similar to @types/crypto-js in providing cryptographic functionalities but is specifically focused on secure password hashing.

node-forge

node-forge is a native JavaScript implementation of various networking and cryptographic algorithms including TLS, SSH, and various ciphers. It offers a broader range of cryptographic operations compared to @types/crypto-js, including certificate management and TLS.

libsodium-wrappers

libsodium-wrappers provides a high-level API for libsodium, a modern, easy-to-use software library for encryption, decryption, signatures, password hashing, and more. It covers a wider range of cryptographic primitives than @types/crypto-js, with a focus on high security.
