easy-jose

Javascript Object Signing and Encryption standard

Straightforward encryption/decryption utility based on node-jose by Cisco

Getting Started

Install via NPM

$ npm install --save easy-jose

Basic Usage

Require the library, then initialize.

const easyJose = require('easy-jose');
easyJose.init();

Generating Keys: generateKeys()

Returns an object with public_key and private_key

Optional Arguments:

• kty: key type, default is "RSA"
• size: size in bits, default is 2048
• isEncoded: boolean, base64 encode the public key, default is false
• isPadded: boolean, add padding to base64 encoding, default is false

Example:

const keys = easyJose.generateKeys("EC", 4096);

Encrypting Content: encryptContent()

Required Arguments:

• public_key
• payload: data to encrypt

Optional Argument

• isKeyEncoded: boolean, tell easyJose if you're using a base64 encoded public_key

Example:

const encrypted = easyJose.encryptContent(public_key, payload);

Decrypting Content: decryptContent()

Required Arguments:

• private_key
• payload: data to decrypt

Optional Argument

• isPayloadEncoded: boolean, tell easyJose if you're using a base64 encoded payload

Example:

const decrypted = easyJose.decryptContent(private_key, encrypted);

Example Implementation

const easyJose = require('easy-jose');
const somedata = {
  txt: 'hello'
};

(async () => {
  easyJose.init();
  const { private_key, public_key } = await easyJose.generateKeys();
  console.log(private_key);
  console.log(public_key);

  const encrypted = await easyJose.encryptContent(public_key, somedata);
  console.log(encrypted);

  const decrypted = await easyJose.decryptContent(private_key, encrypted);
  console.log(decrypted);
})();

Utilities

Base64 Encoder

const encoded = easyJose.encode(raw);

Base64 Decoder

const decoded = easyJose.decode(base64EncodedString);

Array Buffer converter

const u8a = easyJose.convertToU8A(data);

Array Buffer Decoder

const data = easyJose.convertU8A(arrayBufferData);
