Advanced tools
a cryptographic utility for sealing-unsealing a JSON object using symmetric key encryption with message integrity verification
This module is a replacement for @hapi/iron,
written using the
Web Crypto API
that makes it compatible with browser and edge environments.
Check out vvo/iron-session to see this module in use!
To use this module, run:
npm add iron-webcrypto
npm remove @hapi/iron
and update imports.
Then modify function calls to pass a Web Crypto implementation as the first param. For example:
Iron.seal(obj, password, Iron.defaults)
becomes:
Iron.seal(_crypto, obj, password, Iron.defaults)
where _crypto is your Web Crypto implementation. Generally, this will
available in your context (for example, globalThis.crypto in browsers, edge
runtimes, Deno, and Node.js v19+; require('crypto').webcrypto in Node.js
v15+). However, you may also need to polyfill this for older Node.js versions.
We recommend using
@peculiar/webcrypto for
that.
