win-xyz

node-xyz

Node native module to encrypt/decrypt data. On Windows, it uses xyz

API:

function protectData(
    userData: Uint8Array,
    optionalEntropy: Uint8Array,
    scope: "CurrentUser" | "LocalMachine"
): Uint8Array;

function unprotectData(
    encryptedData: Uint8Array,
    optionalEntropy: Uint8Array,
    scope: "CurrentUser" | "LocalMachine"
): Uint8Array;

Example:

import * as xyz from "node-xyz";

const buffer = Buffer.from("Hello world", "utf-8");

const encrypted = xyz.protectData(buffer, null, "CurrentUser");
const decrypted = xyz.unprotectData(encrypted, null, "CurrentUser");

Publish note

This package originates from bradhugh/node-xyz, but he did not publish it to npm. I have taken the liberty of publishing this package so it may be used as a dependency.
