Overview of safez-CryptX

safez-CryptX is a versatile encryption and decryption library designed for both Node.js and browser environments. It supports various encryption modes, allowing developers to encrypt entire objects, specific fields within objects, or simple values. This document provides a comprehensive guide on how to integrate and use safez-CryptX in your projects.

Installation

Add safez-cryptx to your project using the following command:

npm install @safez/safez-cryptx
# or
yarn add @safez/safez-cryptx

Setup and Configuration

To use safez-CryptX, import it into your project and configure it with your encryption settings. This setup will automatically encrypt and decrypt data based on the specified configurations.

Import in commonjs frameworks

const { encryptValue, decryptValue } = require('@safez/safez-cryptx');

Import in module frameworks

import * as cryptx from '@safez/safez-cryptx';

Usage

Basic Encryption and Decryption

Encrypt and decrypt values simply and effectively with safez-CryptX.

let encrypted = encryptValue('Hello World!', 'dummysecretkey');
console.log(encrypted); // Encrypted data
let decrypted = decryptValue(encrypted, 'dummysecretkey');
console.log(decrypted); // Hello World!

Object Encryption and Decryption

Manage encryption and decryption of entire objects or specific fields within objects.

Cryptx in Entire Object

const data = {
 name: 'SafeZ',
 type: 'security'
};
const encrypted = cryptx.encryptData(data, 'dummykey', 'full');
const decrypted = cryptx.decryptData(encrypted, 'dummykey', 'full');
console.log(encrypted); // Encrypted string
console.log(decrypted); // {name: "SafeZ", type: "security"}

Cryptx in Object Values

const data = {
 name: 'SafeZ',
 type: 'security'
};
const encrypted = cryptx.encryptData(data, 'dummykey', 'field');
const decrypted = cryptx.decryptData(encrypted, 'dummykey', 'field');
console.log(encrypted); // {name: "encrypted string", type: "encrypted string"}
console.log(decrypted); // {name: "SafeZ", type: "security"}

Best Practices

• Encryption Secret Management: Keep your encryption secret key secure and avoid exposing it in client-side code.
• Optimize Encryption Use: Use encryption selectively, balancing security needs with performance.

Troubleshooting

• Usage Failures: Check that the package is installed, secret key is correctly configured.
