NOS-Crypto

A crypto module for IBI Data's Node Starter

• Crypto can be used to encrypt and decrypt inputs (strings, numbers, etc...).

• Crypto Uses the node crypto API built into node. More information can be found on their Node API

• Algorithms are based on OpenSSL, examples are 'aes192', etc. On recent OpenSSL releases, openssl list-cipher-algorithms will display the available cipher algorithms. OPEN SSL Algorithms

To Setup

• In the Config.js set your wanted algorithm and password for the hash

//CRYPTO SETTINGS
config.crypto = {};
config.crypto.algorithm = 'AES-256-CBC-HMAC-SHA256';
config.crypto.hashPass = 'PICK-A-PASSWORD';

To Call the Function

• Call the function with nos, if the function fails a decrypt, it will return false in a try catch block, so handle this accordingly.

// Encrypt Text
nos.crypto.encrypt(input);

// Decrypt Text
nos.crypto.decrypt(input);

There is also a handlebars helper to encrypt / decrypt with the same base settings.
