Lazy Decipheriv
createDecipheriv
, but setAuthTag
later.
Problem: In Node, it's required to decipher.setAuthTag()
before beginning a decipher stream.
Usage
const createLazyDecipheriv = require('@transcend-io/lazydecipheriv');
const decipher = createLazyDecipheriv('aes-256-gcm', key, iv);
await pipeline(
readable,
decipher,
writable,
);
decipher.setAuthTag(authTag);
console.log(decipher.isAuthenticated); // => true
Error handling invalid authentications tags
An invalid authTag passed to decipher.setAuthTag()
will throw the same error that decipher.final()
would. If the authTag is set before the decipher is finished, then the stream will throw when it is done. You can also check decipher.isAuthenticated
to see if the integrity check has passed yet.
