AES-256 Async

The aes256-async package allows developers to easily encrypt and decrypt data by making use of the AES-256 specification. It exposes syncrhonous and asynchronous functions to avoid blocking the main thread. Moreover, the secret can be of any size because it is hashed using the Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-256).

Getting Started

Install the package:

npm install -S aes256-async

Usage

Encrypt and decrypt data asynchronously:

import { encrypt, decrypt } from 'aes256-async';

const secret = 'My.$ecreT';

await encrypt(secret, 'Hello world!')
// OrGfQ/91d7p/1BN6Q07Jly5ZK0/7pyczjk5vgw==

await decrypt(secret, 'OrGfQ/91d7p/1BN6Q07Jly5ZK0/7pyczjk5vgw==')
// 'Hello world!'

Encrypt and decrypt data synchronously (blocking the main thread):

import { encryptSync, decryptSync } from 'aes256-async';

const secret = 'My.$ecreT';

encryptSync(secret, 'Hello world!')
// OrGfQ/91d7p/1BN6Q07Jly5ZK0/7pyczjk5vgw==

decryptSync(secret, 'OrGfQ/91d7p/1BN6Q07Jly5ZK0/7pyczjk5vgw==')
// 'Hello world!'
