bitcore ecies # ECIES for digibyte.js

NPM Package Build Status Coverage Status

A module for [digibytejs][digibytejs] that implements the Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES). Uses ECIES symmetric key negotiation from public keys to encrypt arbitrarily long data streams.

See the main digibytejs repo or the bitcore guide on ECIES for more information.

Credit to @ryanxcharles for the original implementation.

Getting started

ECIES will allow to securely encrypt and decrypt messages using ECDSA key pairs (bitcoin cryptography).

var alice = ECIES()
  .privateKey(aliceKey)
  .publicKey(bobKey.publicKey);
 
var message = 'some secret message';
var encrypted = alice.encrypt(message);
 
// encrypted will contain an encrypted buffer only Bob can decrypt
 
var bob = ECIES()
  .privateKey(bobKey)
  .publicKey(aliceKey.publicKey);
var decrypted = bob
  .decrypt(encrypted)
  .toString();
// decrypted will be 'some secret message'
