Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Eid library

This library is created to get a simpel way to interact with the belgian eid middelware for nodejs.

Installation

npm i --save eid-lib

Basic usage

    // beidpkcs11.dll is the name of the module aka the library you need to interact with
    const CardReader = require("eid-lib");
    const cardReader = new CardReader("beidpkcs11.dll");
    try {
        /**
         * your code
         */
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    } finally {
        // needs to be call before ending program!!
        cardReader.Finalize();
    }

Getting data

    const CardReader = require("eid-lib");
    const cardReader = new CardReader("beidpkcs11.dll");
    try {
        if(cardReader.HasCard()) {
            const firstname = cardReader.GetFirstName();
        } else {
            console.log("No card detected")
        }
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    } finally {
        // needs to be call before ending program!!
        cardReader.Finalize();
    }

Getting files

Every on the card is stored in files.

    const CardReader = require("eid-lib");
    const cardReader = new CardReader("beidpkcs11.dll");
    try {
        const photoBuffer = cardReader.GetPhotoFile();
        //photoBuffer will contain a Buffer of a png image of the image on the card
        //you can write it to a file photo.png for example
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    } finally {
        // needs to be call before ending program!!
        cardReader.Finalize();
    }

Getting public certificate

    const CardReader = require("eid-lib");
    const cardReader = new CardReader("beidpkcs11.dll");
    try {
        const authPubKey = cardReader.GetCertificateAuthenticationFile();
        //this is the public key of the authentication key it will return a der formated file
        const pemCert = cardReader._derToPem(authPubKey);
        //PemCert will contain a string that is the pem format of the der format. 
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    } finally {
        // needs to be call before ending program!!
        cardReader.Finalize();
    }

Sign and Verify data

You can sign data with your cards private key and then verifing it with the public key.

    const Assert = require('assert').strict;
    const CardReader = require("eid-lib");
    const cardReader = new CardReader("beidpkcs11.dll");
    try {
        if(cardReader.HasCard()) {
            // Sign
            const testdata = Buffer.from(["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8" ]);
            // after calling this the middelware will ask you your pin code
            let signeddata = cardReader.SignWithCard(testdata, "Authentication");

            Assert.notStrictEqual(signeddata, null);
            // Verification
            Assert.strictEqual(cardReader.Verify(testdata, signeddata, cardReader.GetCertificateAuthenticationFile()), true);

            // Sign and Verify a file on the card
            const idFile = cardReader.GetIdFile();
            const idSignatureFile = cardReader.GetIdSignatureFile();
            const certificateRRN = cardReader.GetCertificateRNFile();
            Assert.strictEqual(cardReader.Verify(idFile, idSignatureFile, certificateRRN), true);
        } else {
            console.log("No card detected")
        }
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    } finally {
        cardReader.Finalize();
    }

Encrypted and Decrypted data

You can encrypted data with your cards and then decrypte it.

    const CardReader = require("eid-lib");
    const cardReader = new CardReader("beidpkcs11.dll");
    try {
        const testdata = Buffer.from(["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8" ]);
        if(cardReader.HasCard()) {
            // after calling this the middelware will ask you your pin code
            const data = cardReader.EncrypteData(testdata);
            console.log(data);
            console.log();
            //output: ☺☻♥♦♣♠
            console.log(cardReader.DecrypteData(data).toString());
        } else {
            console.log("No card detected");
        }
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    } finally {
        cardReader.Finalize();
    }
