CISA Rebuffs Funding Concerns as CVE Foundation Draws Criticism
CISA denies CVE funding issues amid backlash over a new CVE foundation formed by board members, raising concerns about transparency and program governance.
browserify-des
Advanced tools
The browserify-des package is a module that allows you to use DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption and decryption in your Browserify projects. It is a browser-friendly version of the DES algorithm, which is a symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of electronic data.
DES Encryption
This feature allows you to encrypt data using the DES algorithm. The code sample demonstrates how to create a DES cipher in ECB mode, encrypt a text message, and output the encrypted data in hexadecimal format.
const crypto = require('crypto');
const browserifyDES = require('browserify-des');
const key = Buffer.from('0123456789abcdef', 'hex');
const data = Buffer.from('Hello, World!');
const cipher = browserifyDES.createCipheriv('des-ecb', key, null);
let encrypted = cipher.update(data, 'utf8', 'hex');
encrypted += cipher.final('hex');
console.log('Encrypted:', encrypted);
DES Decryption
This feature allows you to decrypt data that was previously encrypted using the DES algorithm. The code sample shows how to create a DES decipher in ECB mode, decrypt the encrypted hexadecimal data, and output the original text message.
const crypto = require('crypto');
const browserifyDES = require('browserify-des');
const key = Buffer.from('0123456789abcdef', 'hex');
const encryptedData = 'e5fa44f2b31c1fb553b6021e7360d07d';
const decipher = browserifyDES.createDecipheriv('des-ecb', key, null);
let decrypted = decipher.update(encryptedData, 'hex', 'utf8');
decrypted += decipher.final('utf8');
console.log('Decrypted:', decrypted);
Crypto-js is a package with a collection of cryptographic algorithms implemented in JavaScript. It supports various encryption standards, including AES, DES, Triple DES, Rabbit, and more. It is more versatile than browserify-des as it provides a wider range of cryptographic functions.
Node-forge is a native JavaScript implementation of networking and cryptographic functions. It includes support for many cryptographic operations, including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and is more comprehensive than browserify-des, which focuses solely on DES.
Bcryptjs is a JavaScript implementation of the bcrypt password hashing function. While it is not used for general-purpose encryption like browserify-des, it is commonly used for securely storing passwords, showcasing a different aspect of cryptography.
