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 🙏

Tomb

Simple, secure encryption and decryption with a sharded master key.

Installation

$ npm install --save tomb

Usage

Generate a master key

var Tomb = require('tomb'),
    tomb = new Tomb();

var shards = tomb.generateKey;

// shards is an array of 5 master key shards, 3 of which are needed
// to use the tomb
// Store these shards away from the data and away from each other
console.log(shards);
// [
//  '801c2cf88c071961587f2535aa0bc74352669de05d4ba3796441fe3e9a492c001a329',
//  '802b5987c3ee214d9e3aff9791ac9e7d93d15c48ad144dd8ae65108790553ab17abbb',
//  '803761363ccec7ce0b3fae7917350edd5e57f3b9ff03e9df4bde263cbd26cd64ad357',
//  '804c89a2fd966dffdd505222176cb5f23c000eec33808966ed169d06eac76062901ef',
//  '8050b11302b68b7c485503cc91f52552f186a11d61972d6108adabbdc7b497b747903'
// ]

Unseal the tomb

// ideally these shards are stored separately
tomb.unseal([process.env.SHARD1, process.env.SHARD2, process.env.SHARD3]);

Encrypt data

var secret = "hello world";

// unsealing is required prior to encrypting

encryptedSecret = tomb.encrypt(secret);
console.log(encryptedSecret); // 202b65485c2c42ba090467a04d5104f883addcfb5e4a88485b09566e0181d680

Decrypt data

secret = tomb.decrypt(encryptedSecret);
console.log(secret); // hello world

Security

Tomb uses the Node.js randomBytes function to generate a random Initialization Vector for every secret, which is part of the returned secret value.

By default, it uses the AES-256-CBC algorithm with 128 bits for the IV.

To shard the master key, Tomb uses the secrets.js library, an implementation of Shamir's Secret Sharing.
