Node.js - Crypto
In Node.js, crypto is a in-built module that provides cryptographic functionalities that are essential for incorporating security aspects into a project, for instance, encryption, decryption, hash functions, and more. This module rely on OpenSSL for its cryptographic operations.
Cryptography is the process of putting data into a form that can only be understood by users who meet certain predetermined conditions.
Cryptography is not only about encoding and decoding the messages, It is about making sure that information remains private, integral, and genuine in the growing globalized context.
Crypto Class
The Crypto Class represents a basic cryptography features available in the current context. It is the built-in library of Node.js includes the Crypto module.
Property
Following is the property of crypto class −
| Sr.No. | Property & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
This property returns the SubtleCrypto interface. |
Methods
Following are the methods of Crypto class −
| Sr.No. | Method & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
crypto.getRandomValues(typedArray) The same array is passed as typedarray, but its contents are replaced with new random numbers in that place. |
| 2 |
This method returns a string containing a randomly generated. |
CryptoKey Class
A crypto-key class is used to represent a blueprint for creating and managing cryptographic keys.
Properties
Following is a list of properties available with the CryptoKey class −
| Sr.No. | Properties & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
cryptoKey.algorithm The object returned depends of the algorithm used to generate the key. |
| 2 |
cryptoKey.extractable A boolean value that is true if the key can be exported and false if not. |
| 3 |
cryptoKey.type It returns the array of strings which is in secret, private, or public. |
| 4 |
cryptoKey.usages It returns the array of strings from the list. |
CryptoKeyPair Class
The CryptoKeyPair class provides a structured way to manage and utilize public and private key pairs.
Properties
Following is a list of properties of the CryptoKeyPair class −
| Sr.No. | Properties & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
cryptoKeyPair.privateKey This property provides access to the private key of the key pair. |
| 2 |
cryptoKeyPair.publicKey This property provides access to the public key of the key pair. |
SubtleCrypto Class
The SubtleCrypto class is a part of the Web Cryptography API, designed to perform low-level cryptographic operations in web applications. It provides methods for generating keys.
Methods
