Advanced tools
Cryptic is a thin wrapper around Web Crypto and sets sane defaults to allow quickly implementing encryption in your application.
Install crypticstorage via NPM
npm install crypticstorage
// Simple example
// import '../node_modules/crypticstorage/cryptic.js';
import { Cryptic } from 'crypticstorage';
const salt = Cryptic.bufferToHex(Cryptic.randomBytes(32))
const iv = Cryptic.bufferToHex(Cryptic.randomBytes(16))
const cryptic = Cryptic.create(
decryptPass,
salt,
)
let encryptedText = await cryptic.encrypt(
'text to encrypt',
iv,
);
console.log('Encrypted Text', encryptedText)
let decryptedText = await cryptic.decrypt(
encryptedText,
iv,
);
console.log('Decrypted Text', decryptedText)
Deprecation warning: Cryptic.encryptString renamed to Cryptic.create
Breaking Change: Cryptic.encryptString now expects salt in HEX format instead of a string. If stored as plain string, convert with the example below.
const cryptic = Cryptic.create(
encryptPass,
Cryptic.bufferToHex(
Cryptic.stringToBuffer(salt)
)
)
