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

React Native Secure Element provides functionality to use on-device and hardware-based secure encryption and decryption.

Both native modules are also usable without React Native via gradle and cocoa pods. Thus, they also benefit from being tested by E2E tests.

The Android side uses the android.security.keystore API and requires a minimum SDK version of 23, due to availability of the hardware-backed security.

The iOS side uses the CommonCrypto and LocalAuthentication APIs. It saves the key pairs in the keychain or secure enclave if available.

npm GitHub Android iOS

See examples in src/examples.

// React Hooks example
import { useSecureElement } from 'react-native-secure-element';

const Example = () => {
  const { encrypt } = useSecureElement();
  const [encryptedBase64Text, setEncryptedBase64Text] = useState('');

  useEffect(
    async () => {
      try {
        const val = await encrypt('someKey', 'toEncrypt');
        setEncryptedBase64Text(val);
      } catch (e) {
        console.warn(e);
        setEncryptedBase64Text(e.message);
      }
    },
    []
  )

  <View>
    <Text>{encryptedBase64Text}</Text>
  </View>
}

Automated E2E (UI) Tests Preview

With Github Actions, each commit automatically triggers a full build cycle. This includes running End-to-End (E2E) or UI tests on an iOS Simulator and Android Emulator. This has the benefit of having only tested and not breaking code merged into the master branch.

E2E Tests

Features

  • Full TypeScript support
  • Automatically deployed and tested (CI/CD) via Github Actions
  • Extremely secure iOS encryption and decryption via secure enclave, keychain and elliptic curves. No third party dependencies
  • Very secure Android encryption and decryption via Android KeyStore
  • Natively (without React Native) available implementation

Why / Purpose

The purpose of this repository is to provide a secure way to decrypt and encrypt values. Such values could consist of sensitive user data or authentication secrets (TOTP, ...).

API

See types definition in src/typescript.

Installation

To install react-native-secure-element, do either

npm install --save react-native-secure-element

or

yarn add react-native-secure-element

Note that this requires a react-native version of at least 0.60.0, to use its auto linking feature.

Native Android Dependency

Via gradle/maven dependency:

implementation 'com.android.secureelement:android:+'

Native iOS Dependency

Via cocoapods dependency:

pod 'SecureElement'
