bignumber

node-bignumber

A pure JavaScript implementation of large-integer math, capable of performing useful-sized (512-bit, 1024-bit) RSA encryption. Packaged to also be used in a node environment.

This library is a packaging of the original code from Tom Wu. The original files are available in the original/ folder or on his site.

Install

If you are using npm (the node packet manager), installing is as easy as: npm install bignumber

Usage

For help on using this in node.js, have a look at the tests. Here is a simple example on how to generate a new key and use it to encrypt/decrypt a message.

var rsa = require("bigint");
var key = new rsa.Key();

var message = "All your bases are belong to us.";
console.log("Message:\n"+message+"\n");

// Generate a key
key.generate(1024, "10001");
console.log("Key:\n");
console.log("n:" + key.n.toString(16));
console.log("e:" + key.e.toString(16));
console.log("d:" + key.d.toString(16));
console.log("\n");

// Encrypt
var encrypted = key.encrypt(message);
console.log("Encrypted:\n" + rsa.linebrk(encrypted, 64) + "\n" );

// Decrypt
var decrypted = key.decrypt(encrypted);
console.log("Decrypted:" + rsa.linebrk(decrypted, 64) + "\n");
