safe-cookies
Wrap the cookie libraries with a safer encrypt - decrypt function - should work with most libraries.
The encrypt
, decrypt
function wraps a normal setter (encrypt)
and getter (decrypt)
functions with crypto functions that help create safer value storage options for procedures
like localStorage
, cookies
, password storage in database
etc.
Do take a look at the architectural concept here
You can find the demos here
USAGE ONE:
import pkg from "safecookie";
const { encrypt, decrypt, encryptRecursive, decryptRecursive, cryptoencrypt, cryptodecrypt, getKeyFromPassword } = pkg;
console.log("Testing new crypter");
let cryptedtext = encrypt((v) => { console.log(v.toString("base64")); return v; }, getKeyFromPassword("password", "testsalt"), 0, cryptoencrypt)("Testing new crypter");
console.log(cryptedtext.toString("base64"));
let decryptedtext = decrypt((v) => { console.log(v.toString("base64")); return v; }, getKeyFromPassword("password", "testsalt"), 0, cryptodecrypt)(cryptedtext);
console.log(decryptedtext.toString());
USAGE TWO:
import pkg from "safecookie";
const { encrypt, decrypt, encryptRecursive, decryptRecursive, cryptoencrypt, cryptodecrypt, getKeyFromPassword } = pkg;
console.log("Testing new crypter");
let cryptedtext = encrypt((v) => { console.log(v.toString("base64")); return v; }, getKeyFromPassword("password", "testsalt"), 0, cryptoencrypt)("Testing new crypter");
console.log(cryptedtext.toString("base64"));
let decryptedtext = decrypt((v) => { console.log(v.toString("base64")); return v; }, getKeyFromPassword("password", "testsalt"), 0, cryptodecrypt)(cryptedtext);
console.log(decryptedtext.toString());
NOTE:
Errors:
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The first argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, ArrayBuffer, or Array or an Array-like Object
occurs because of the crypto cryptoencrypt
and cryptodecrypt
function.
- It basically means the encrypted data passed in not of the right format sent.
- It expects that what was send back from the set function of encrypt data function is passed back to it in the same format
- The format of the encrypted data looks like this:
{ iv: 'uIF9gjowtvLDtUYMU0hQjg==', content: 'K129hrHxeBkg' }
- You can also remove the implementation used and pass your own encrypting function you wish
TODO:
- Create a
browser
implementation - Test with
React useState
functions - Test with
tough cookies
package,jsdom
in nodejs, etc
