DPAPI
Native module to encrypt/decrypt data on Windows with DPAPI.
This native module is prebuilt for Node.JS running on Windows. It provides the win32-x64 N-API module.
Based on the port to N-API made by Microsoft in @msal-node-extension from the work of Brad Hughes.
This package is part of the Primno framework.
Why this package?
Other similar packages require to build the native module on the target machine during the installation. This means that you must have Python and Visual C++ installed, production environment included.
This package is prebuilt, so you don't need to have build tools installed on the target machine.
Install
The win32-x64 prebuilt module will be installed with the following command.
npm install @primno/dpapi
Definition
function protectData(
userData: Uint8Array,
optionalEntropy: Uint8Array | null,
scope: "CurrentUser" | "LocalMachine"
): Uint8Array;
function unprotectData(
encryptedData: Uint8Array,
optionalEntropy: Uint8Array | null,
scope: "CurrentUser" | "LocalMachine"
): Uint8Array;
Usage
import { Dpapi } from "@primno/dpapi";
const buffer = Buffer.from("Hello world", "utf-8");
const encrypted = Dpapi.protectData(buffer, null, "CurrentUser");
const decrypted = Dpapi.unprotectData(encrypted, null, "CurrentUser");
