Inspired by MaxLaumeister/PageCrypt, but rewritten to use native Web Crypto API and greatly improve UX + security. Thanks for sharing an excellent starting point to create this tool!

Get started

There are 3 different ways to use pagecrypt:

1. CLI

Encrypt a single HTML-file with one command:

npx pagecrypt <src> <dest> [password] [options]

Encrypt using a generate password with given length:

npx pagecrypt <src> <dest> -g <length>

1.1. CLI Help

  Description
    Encrypt the <src> HTML file with [password] and save the result in the <dest> HTML file.

  Usage
    $ pagecrypt <src> <dest> [password] [options]

  Options
    -g, --generate-password    Generate a random password with given length. Must be a number if used.
    -v, --version              Displays current version
    -h, --help                 Displays this message

  Examples
    $ pagecrypt index.html encrypted.html password
    $ pagecrypt index.html encrypted.html --generate-password 64
    $ pagecrypt index.html encrypted.html -g 64

2. Automate `pagecrypt` in your build process

This allows automated encrypted builds for single page applications

npm i -D pagecrypt

package.json:

{
    "devDependencies": {
        "pagecrypt": "^3.0.0"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "build": "...",
        "postbuild": "pagecrypt index.html encrypted.html password"
    }
}

3. Node.js API

You can also use pagecrypt in your Node.js scripts:

`encrypt(inputFile: string, outputFile: string, password: string): Promise<void>`

import { encrypt } from 'pagecrypt'

// Encrypt a HTML file and write to the filesystem
await encrypt('index.html', 'encrypted.html', 'password')

`encryptHTML(inputHTML: string, password: string): Promise<string>`

import { encryptHTML } from 'pagecrypt'

// Encrypt a HTML string and return an encrypted HTML string.
// Write it to a file or send as an HTTPS response.
const encryptedHTML = await encryptHTML(
    `<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
        <head>
            <meta charset="UTF-8">
        </head>
        <body>
            Secret
        </body>
    </html>
`,
    'password',
)

`generatePassword(length: number): string`

import { generatePassword, encrypt, encryptHTML } from 'pagecrypt'

// Generate a random password without any external dependencies
const pass = generatePassword(64)

// Works with both JS API:s
await encrypt('index.html', 'encrypted.html', pass)
const encryptedHTML = await encryptHTML('html string', pass)

Development

The project consists of four parts:

/web - Web frontend for public webpage (decrypt-template.html). Built using Vite & Tailwind CSS.
/index.js - pagecrypt main library.
/cli.js - pagecrypt CLI.
/test - testing setup

Setup a local development environment

Install Node.js >= 15.0.0
Run npm install in project root.
Install and use mkcert to generate local certificates to enable HTTPS for the development server. For example mkcert localhost 192.168.1.32 to generate a two files ending with *.pem.
Update vite.config.js to load the generated *.pem files in the https section.
To use npm run serve, also update to the correct *.pem filenames in the npm script.

Testing

npm test will run basic tests for JS API and CLI. Verify test results by opening the test/out-*.html files in your browser.

4.0.0 - 2021-04-29

Major UX and performance improvements!

This version uses document.write() to show the encrypted payload instead of using an <iframe> like pagecrypt < v4 did. Since this means browsers won't have to create a separate DOM instance, this brings good performance improvements.

Features

feature(UX): Major UX improvement - save CryptoKey to sessionStorage to gain massive UX + performance improvement on repeat visits.
feature(UX): Show results faster by removing the <iframe> and show content directly in the top-level document instead.
feature(DX): By removing the <iframe>, we also now allow embedded apps and webpages to use the full top-level document. Unlocks many new possible features that wouldn't work in pagecrypt < v4.
feature(UX): Show a loading state when loading large encrypted payloads.
feature(UX): Show loading spinner when decrypting for better UX.
feature(UX): Improve perceived loading performance by not blocking the main thread on page load.
- This was achieved in part by the loading state, but also by moving the encrypted payload from a render-blocking inline <script> into a <pre> that only contains the raw data.
- This way, the browser can do more work in parallel, which speeds up the initial page load.
feature(UX): Remove the success message and 1s timeout after successful decryption to improved perceived loading performance.
feature(build): Improve code transformations applied at build time to optimize decrypt-template.html
feature(UX): Add autofocus to password input when pageload has completed.

Fixes

fix(build): Remove old iframe solution that's no longer relevant
fix(docs): Fix invalid docstring for encryptHTML()
