Open Attestation (Encryption)

The Open Attestation (Encryption) repository is the codebase for the npm module that allows you to encrypt documents in order to share and store them safely.

This module does not provide the following functionality:

• Programmatic wrapping of OA documents (refer to Open Attestation)
• Programmatic verification of OA documents (refer to Open Attestation (Verify))
• Programmatic issuance/revocation of document on the Ethereum blockchain

This library is used for encrypting OpenAttestation files in transit

Installation

npm i @govtechsg/oa-encryption

Usage

Encrypting a document

const { encryptString } = require("@govtechsg/oa-encryption");

const document = {
  version: "https://schema.openattestation.com/2.0/schema.json",
  data: {
    issuers: [
      {
        documentStore: "5924d910-8916-446a-b1c3-55e2f86dd8f3:string:0xabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcd",
        name: "0f737b20-9e5e-4ec4-bffd-c63002616bfd:string:University of Blockchain",
        identityProof: {
          type: "5fc379dd-cd24-4c91-a4c7-cf76f9c96d8d:string:DNS-TXT",
          location: "62e1c6c3-09a9-4e52-aaf6-9daf24d43657:string:example.com",
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  privacy: { obfuscatedData: [] },
  signature: {
    type: "SHA3MerkleProof",
    targetHash: "956e27c86d4893a971600d328e235ede886f1c00b183257a822667b69886fced",
    proof: [],
    merkleRoot: "956e27c86d4893a971600d328e235ede886f1c00b183257a822667b69886fced",
  },
};

const encryptedDocument = encryptString(JSON.stringify(document));
console.log(encryptedDocument);

Will display something like (when you will run it, the values will be different) :

{
  cipherText:
   'S7jca6lGDvN3ZDsPX4xc+6zLCkvRN1b1g6b0LL/IHiWn9c4JmIdmfg7fMd98fehkPMlkvScYn1/XI9ZoYA6NRjf61Kpam2A0Dx7kBR866TW+Stzbbb4AAqoXm0GX3BBvPgjhQCoGS9vJBkD0coK+DCO0Vrcdptuo2io3/zbBD6GbE5zLhnqizLrLO+RffnCeJ6LFYSUbAwBvSJv+OnNJjf+99ejaT3zKZNLB+NSu1WNG23nyzJoeYgEqg/E7i5jhD5+pZ8FvGsVQ2hM4zrnw5CvC8AfnRkR5KUEpJ4A0XJly3gQnCBN2HtIEHRmxBgPOnM2Mcm/mNVct2tqogrfyksXrLqS2YvYAEP9uGmSu3/iP2aTzS5xqiBg0UedFVQcc3cEjzaI4lXWa5t+cjzS08pssN2lT55WHsLo/XqVSTMx4/nekDl1SVm6wpfHl2htvhxvGiUF9F1tS7VpoE/+OMS7fCPkncmPKMpuUmWN79KhZS+/R0wM1sB7+HYTulYIZ3Z/vxX1YuNFSR0V6lCsVavl4tV9IhA9PvQPvmKDSyJyrD+v4AUrtEgnvyEPttfHW2MqJGGK6w9sUB3It2OvHQVXmAtVJgqpuP6cZwMlswQWfJfcjkfxWnQGCJtsCXhc7qePwxuL3C74QTFkKQcrGLGoMNcSTV5xhPxtg7zBocVs689RJkbjirhBOJajlY4NwplFga7qgyNA6yYI2BamX4fRaMq1XEuYRo8+d2kiJXSQSTEaUNQuIIsO3Nd+u8p/Dapw0xZBeyqj1Ys1N4aPFlx26OigiabXpwQNxH+ioaceU4LUsjCmF+MsPuxi3L0HLIsnvqy1LgffOswih+hqaqjHdpOMlpLcwQziD47HSOmW83jPezEEaWwiSH5eYYy4JwgsatCc+hCJEB8A8PXG1aSdRTRg+nqZQlJ4ONs+C55Svdj+6K+mdtK21qpQBIOOZjxMztubv/0/BETbPp8HDtaZdS80uLwXSNWAaf2dnbaNQkAW3idHYTgi8375FRr63/TUIeoo9Wh4YHTyjlEay/+CBokN0zREGQMaXKS/TEGxsdOIjsJjR8URyPBVFIhHNXcN1RQnxcD0WU+JvsheaoFLs/x1ITc7E',

}

The key from the encrypted document can be extracted out and the rest of the document can be stored anywhere. To decrypt the document, the key will be needed, hence the content of your document is safe.

Decrypting a document

const { decryptString } = require("@govtechsg/oa-encryption");

const encryptedDocument = {

  type: "OPEN-ATTESTATION-TYPE-1",
};
const decryptedDocument = decryptString(encryptedDocument);
console.log(JSON.parse(decryptedDocument));

The content of your document is retrieved.

Dont forget to put back the key in the object passed to decryptString function, when you separate the key from the encrypted document.
