chrisveness / crypto-aes-gcm.js
Last active March 17, 2024 15:36
Uses the SubtleCrypto interface of the Web Cryptography API to encrypt and decrypt text using AES-GCM (AES Galois counter mode).
/**
* Encrypts plaintext using AES-GCM with supplied password, for decryption with aesGcmDecrypt().
* (c) Chris Veness MIT Licence
*
* @param {String} plaintext - Plaintext to be encrypted.
* @param {String} password - Password to use to encrypt plaintext.
* @returns {String} Encrypted ciphertext.
*
* @example
* const ciphertext = await aesGcmEncrypt('my secret text', 'pw');

chrisveness / crypto-pbkdf2.js
Last active December 21, 2023 19:20
Uses the SubtleCrypto interface of the Web Cryptography API to hash a password using PBKDF2, and validate a stored password hash against a subsequently supplied password. Note that both bcrypt and scrypt offer better defence against ASIC/GPU attacks, but are not available within WebCrypto.
/**
* Returns PBKDF2 derived key from supplied password.
*
* Stored key can subsequently be used to verify that a password matches the original password used
* to derive the key, using pbkdf2Verify().
*
* @param {String} password - Password to be hashed using key derivation function.
* @param {Number} [iterations=1e6] - Number of iterations of HMAC function to apply.
* @returns {String} Derived key as base64 string.

chrisveness / crypto-sha.js
Last active July 20, 2023 04:45
Uses the SubtleCrypto interface of the Web Cryptography API to hash a message using SHA-256.
/**
* Returns SHA-256 hash from supplied message.
*
* @param {String} message.
* @returns {String} hash as hex string.
*
* @example
* sha256('abc').then(hash => console.log(hash));
* const hash = await sha256('abc');

Utf8 string encode/decode using regular expressions
/**
* Encodes multi-byte Unicode string into utf-8 multiple single-byte characters
* (BMP / basic multilingual plane only).
*
* Chars in range U+0080 - U+07FF are encoded in 2 chars, U+0800 - U+FFFF in 3 chars.
*
* Can be achieved in JavaScript by unescape(encodeURIComponent(str)),
* but this approach may be useful in other languages.
*
* @param {string} unicodeString - Unicode string to be encoded as UTF-8.

Encode/decode ASCII string to/from base64
/**
* Encode string into Base64, as defined by RFC 4648 [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648].
* As per RFC 4648, no newlines are added.
*
* Characters in str must be within ISO-8859-1 with Unicode code point <= 256.
*
* Can be achieved JavaScript with btoa(), but this approach may be useful in other languages.
*
* @param {string} str ASCII/ISO-8859-1 string to be encoded as base-64.
* @returns {string} Base64-encoded string.
