Stream operations:
Utils:
Encrypt and decrypt files
const octosecret = require('octosecret-crypto')
// Encrypt "octocat.gif" to "octocat.gif.octosecret" using "public.key"
await octosecret.file.encrypt(`octocat.gif`, `octocat.gif.octosecret`, ['public.key'])
// Decrypt "octocat.gif.octosecret" to "octocat.gif" using "id_rsa" key
await octosecret.file.decrypt(`octocat.gif.octosecret`, `octocat.gif`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`)
Encrypt and decrypt streams
const octosecret = require('octosecret-crypto')
// Example data
const dataToEncrypt = "Super secret message"
// Encrypt
const encrypted = await octosecret.stream.encrypt(dataToEncrypt, ['public.key'])
// Decrypt
const decrypted = await octosecret.stream.decrypt(encrypted, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`)
// Convert Buffer to String
const decryptedText = decrypted.toString()
// "Super secret message"
