A sane AES128 cypto for nodejs
Standard crypto module uses the same openssl library but relays on upper layer where the streaming implementation withholds the last processed block and uses callbacks which might force you to do await and other tricks or just make it unusable for decrypting streaming data such as TCP communication.
This module is based on elementary AES operation from openssl and implements CBC by itself this avoiding and delays in data processing
All you need is openssl development files installed libssl-dev package in ubuntu and a node-gyp with it's dependacines such as the gcc compiler and friends.
Just do
sudo apt install libssl-dev; npm install sane_aes128_cbc
and you should be all set
Example
see example/sane_cypto.js for example
to run the example from the freshly cloned repo do
npm install
node example/sane_crypto.js
post npm install if you modify src/sane_aes128_cbc.c, you can do
./node_modules/.bin/node-gyp build && node example/sane_crypto.js
to rebuild the module and run the test javascript code
