simple-crypt   

Note: Things have moved on in cryptography since I wrote this library. While I'm happy to fix bugs in simple-crypt, you're probably better off using libsodium via sodium-native or sodium-plus.

Javascript library for signing and encrypting data.

• Consistent API across Node.js and browser.
• On Node.js wraps crypto.
  • From simple-crypt version 2 onwards, at least Node.js version 8 is required and the dependency on ursa has been removed.
  • From simple-crypt version 3 onwards, at least Node.js version 12 is required and KeyObjects are used internally.
• On browser wraps SlowAES, pbkdf2.js, CryptoJS, jsrsasign, js-rsa-pem and Paul Johnston's SHA scripts.
• Hard-coded to HMAC-SHA-256 for symmetric signing.
• Hard-coded to RSA-SHA-256 with RSASSA-PSS encoding for asymmetric signing.
• Hard-coded to AES-128-CBC for symmetric key encryption (with optional SHA-256 checksum).
• Hard-coded to RSA, RSAES-OAEP encoding and AES-128-CBC for asymmetric encryption (with optional SHA-256 checksum).
• Verification and decryption operations included.
• Support for deriving signing and encryption key from a password using PBKDF2-SHA1.
• JSON encoding of data by default.
• Optional stream API.
• Unit tests, including NIST test vectors and tests for interoperability between Node.js and browser (using PhantomJS).

Example:

var Crypt = require('simple-crypt').Crypt;
var data = { device_id: 'temperature_sensor0', value: 15.765 };
 
Crypt.make('my signing key', function (err, signer)
{
    signer.sign(data, function (err, signed)
    {
        Crypt.make(this.get_key(), function (err, verifier)
        {
            verifier.verify(signed, function (err, verified)
            {
                assert.deepEqual(verified, data);
            });
        });
    });
});

The API is described here.

Crypt.make([key], [options], [cb])

Create a new Crypt object which can be used to sign, verify, encrypt and decrypt data.

Parameters:

• {String | Buffer | Object} [key] Optional key to use for operations using this object.

  • If you pass a string which looks like it's PEM-encoded then it will be loaded as a RSA key.

  • If you pass an object then its password, iterations and optional salt properties will be used to derive a key using PBKDF2-SHA1. If you don't supply a salt then a random one is created. You can also supply an optional progress property, which must be a function and is called with the percentage completion as the key is derived.

  • Otherwise the key should be a Buffer or binary-encoded string, length equal to get_key_size(). It will be used as a symmetric key for encryption or signing.

  • Omit the key (or pass undefined) if you intend to use one of the dynamic key retrieval methods.

  • Note that how you exchange public keys, passwords or symmetric keys with other parties is beyond the scope of this library. You might consider using something like Diffie-Hellman to exchange symmetric keys but you might also need some kind of public key infrastructure to authenticate the message. That's just an example.

  • Note also that if you intend to use the same key for multiple purposes, consider using a key derivation function to derive separate keys and call Crypt.make separately for each. For examples of key derivation functions, see the following:

    • Recommendation for Key Derivation Using Pseudorandom Functions

    • Recommendation for Key Derivation through Extraction-then-Expansion

    • HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand Key Derivation Function

• {Object} [options] Optional settings:

  • {Boolean} json Whether to JSON encode and decode data. Default is true.

  • {Boolean} base64 Whether to Base64-encode generated data and Base64-decode received data.

  • {Boolean} check Whether to add a checksum to encrypted data and verify it when decrypting data. Default is true.

  • {Boolean} pad Whether to automatically pad encrypted data (using PKCS#7) to a multiple of the AES block size (16 bytes). Default is true.

• {Function} [cb] Optional function called with the Crypt object. It's passed the following arguments:

  • {Object} err If an error occurred then details of the error, otherwise null.

  • {Crypt} crypt The Crypt object. key (above) is parsed using parse_key and is available using get_key.

Return:

{Crypt} The Crypt object. It will have no key until key parsing is complete and cb is called.

_{Go: TOC | Crypt}

Crypt.get_key_size()

Get the size (in bytes) of symmetric encryption keys. Use this value when creating keys for use with Crypt.prototype.encrypt and Crypt.prototype.decrypt.

Return:

{Number} Encryption key size.

_{Go: TOC | Crypt}

Crypt.get_iv_size()

Get the size (in bytes) that Crypt.prototype.encrypt expects (optional) initialisation vectors to be.

Return:

{Number} Initialisation vector size.

_{Go: TOC | Crypt}

Crypt.parse_key(key, cb)

Parse a key. Call this if you want to use the same key for multiple Crypt objects but only incur the cost of parsing it once.

Parameters:

• {String | Buffer | Object} key Key to parse. See the key parameter of Crypt.make.

• {Function} cb Function called with the parsed key. It's passed the following arguments:

  • {Object} err If an error occurred then details of the error, otherwise null.

  • {String|Buffer|Object} key Parsed key. You can pass this to Crypt.make. If the key looks like a PEM-encoded RSA key then an internal RSA key object is received. If the key is an object (with password, iterations and optional salt properties) then an object with the following properties is received:

    • {Object} key An AES encryption key derived using PBKDF2-SHA-1.

    • {Buffer|String} salt Binary-encoded salt value which was used to derive key.

_{Go: TOC | Crypt}

Crypt.prototype.get_key()

Get the key being used by this Crypt object.

Return:

{Object | Buffer | String} The key. This could be a Buffer, binary-encoded string, internal RSA key object or an object containing a key derived from a password (see parse_key).

_{Go: TOC | Crypt.prototype}

Crypt.prototype.encrypt(data, [iv], cb)

Encrypt data using AES-128-CBC and the key you passed to Crypt.make when you created this object. If you passed a (PEM-encoded) RSA public key then a random AES key is created and the public key is used to encrypt it (using RSAES-OAEP). The encrypted AES key is made available along with the encrypted data (see below).

Parameters:

• {Object | Buffer | String} data The data to be encrypted.

  • If you didn't pass options.json as false to Crypt.make then the data will be JSON-serialized before it's encrypted. Otherwise, it must be a Buffer or binary-encoded string.

  • If you didn't pass options.check as false to Crypt.make then a SHA-256 checksum is prepended to the data before it's encrypted.

  • If you didn't pass options.pad as false to Crypt.make then the data will be padded to a multiple of 16 bytes.

• {Buffer | String} [iv] Optional initialisation vector (salt) to use for AES encryption. If not supplied, a random one is created. Length must be equal to get_iv_size().

• {Function} cb Function called with the result. It's passed the following arguments:

  • {Object} err If an error occurred then details of the error, otherwise null.

  • {Object} result Result of the encryption. Typically you would JSON serialize this for transmission, unless you passed options.base64 as false to Crypt.make in which case iv, data, and ekey won't be Base64-encoded. It has the following properties:

    • {Buffer|String} iv Initialisation vector used for the encryption.

    • {Buffer|String} data Encrypted data.

    • {Buffer|String} ekey Encrypted AES key (only present when using RSA public key -- see above).

    • {Number} version Internal version number for future compatibility checking.

_{Go: TOC | Crypt.prototype}

Crypt.prototype.decrypt(data, cb)

Decrypt data using AES-128-CBC and the key you passed to Crypt.make when you created this object. If you passed a (PEM-encoded) RSA private key then an ekey property is expected to be present on the data parameter (below). The private key is used to decrypt the ekey in order to obtain the AES key.

Parameters:

• {Object} data A result object received from encrypt. You may have received this from another party, for instance.

  • If you didn't pass options.json as false to Crypt.make then the data will be JSON-parsed after it's decrypted. Otherwise, you'll receive a Buffer (on Node.js) or binary-encoded string.

  • If you didn't pass options.base64 as false to Crypt.make then the data will be Base64-decoded before it's decrypted.

  • If you didn't pass options.check as false to Crypt.make then a SHA-256 checksum is expected to be prepended to the decrypted data. The checksum is verified against the rest of the decrypted data.

  • If you didn't pass options.pad as false to Crypt.make then the decrypted data is expected to be padded to a multiple of 16 bytes and will be unpadded automatically.

• {Function} cb Function called with the result. It's passed the following arguments:

  • {Object} err If an error occurred then details of the error, otherwise null.

  • {Object|Buffer|String} data The decrypted data.

_{Go: TOC | Crypt.prototype}

Crypt.prototype.sign(data, cb)

Sign a SHA-256 hash of some data using the key you passed to Crypt.make when you created this object. If you passed a (PEM-encoded) RSA private key then the hash is signed using RSASSA-PSS. Otherwise, HMAC-SHA-256 is used to sign the data.

Parameters:

• {Object | Buffer | String} data The data to be signed.

  • If you didn't pass options.json as false to Crypt.make then the data will be JSON-serialized before it's encrypted. Otherwise, it must be a Buffer or binary-encoded string.

• {Function} cb Function called with the result. It's passed the following arguments:

  • {Object} err If an error occurred then details of the error, otherwise null.

  • {Object} result Result of signing the data. Typically you would JSON serialize this for transmission, unless you passed options.base64 as false to Crypt.make in which case data and signature won't be Base64-encoded. It has the following properties:

    • {Buffer|String} data The data that was signed.

    • {Buffer|String} signature Signed hash of the data.

    • {Number} version Internal version number for future compatibility checking.

_{Go: TOC | Crypt.prototype}

Crypt.prototype.verify(data, cb)

Verify a signature by comparing it to a signed SHA-256 hash of some data. The signed hash is generated using the key you passed to Crypt.make when you created this object. If you passed a (PEM-encoded) RSA public key then the hash is signed using RSASSA-PSS. Otherwise HMAC is used.

Parameters:

• {Object} data A result object received from sign. You may have received this from another party, for instance.

  • If you didn't pass options.json as false to Crypt.make then the data will be JSON-parsed after it's verified. Otherwise, you'll receive a Buffer (on Node.js) or binary-encoded string.

  • If you didn't pass options.base64 as false to Crypt.make then the data will be Base64-decoded before it's verified.

• {Function} cb Function called with the result. It's passed the following arguments:

  • {Object} err If an error occurred then details of the error, otherwise null.

  • {Object|Buffer|String} data The verified data.

_{Go: TOC | Crypt.prototype}

Crypt.prototype.maybe_sign(sign, data, cb, [get_key])

Conditionally sign data using sign.

Parameters:

• {Boolean} sign Whether to sign the data.

• {Object | Buffer | String} data The data to sign.

• {Function} cb Function called with the result. It's passed the following arguments:

  • {Object} err If an error occurred then details of the error, otherwise null.

  • {Object} result Result object with the following properties:

    • {Boolean} signed Whether the data was signed.

    • {Object} data Signing result (data, signature etc) if the data was signed, otherwise the data.

    • {Object} [key_data] If the data was signed and get_key was called (see below) then this is the key data received from get_key.

• {Function} [get_key] Optional function to call in order to get the signing key. You must supply this if you didn't supply a key when creating the Crypt object. get_key is called with the following arguments:

  • The arguments to maybe_sign that follow get_key (if any).

  • {Function} got_key Function to call with the key. You should call it with the following arguments:

    • {Object} err If an error occurred then details of the error, otherwise null.

    • {Object|Buffer|String} key The signing key. If this is a falsey value then the data won't be signed.

    • {Object} [key_data] Optional metadata for the key. This is included in the result (see above).

_{Go: TOC | Crypt.prototype}

Crypt.prototype.maybe_verify(data, cb, [get_key])
