About
iron is a cryptographic utility for sealing a JSON object using symmetric key encryption with message integrity verification. Or in other words,
it lets you encrypt an object, send it around (in cookies, authentication credentials, etc.), then receive it back and
decrypt it. The algorithm ensures that the message was not tampered with, and also provides a simple mechanism for
password rotation.
Current version: 4.x
Note: the wire protocol has not changed since 1.x (the version increments reflected a change in
the internal error format used by the module and by the node API as well as other node API changes).
