Encrypt and decrypt strings without exposing your secret key!
top-secret uses AES for encryption and decryption.
npm install top-secret
const topSecret = require('top-secret');
let secretKey = 'correct horse battery staple';
// initialize
let secret = topSecret(secretKey);
// clear secret key from environment
secretKey = undefined;
// encrypt plaintext
let ciphertext = secret.encrypt(
"What's the object-oriented way to become wealthy? ... Inheritance."
);
// decrypt ciphertext
let plaintext = secret.decrypt(ciphertext);
// wipe secret key, and prevent encryption and decryption
secret.wipe();
ciphertext = secret.encrypt('This should fail'); // throws an Error: No secret key. Please initialize another topSecret object.
