A pure JavaScript implementation of XTEA block cipher with support for ECB and CBC modes of operation.

The PKCS#7 padding is used for processing data not alligned to 8-byte block size.

The XTEA cipher algorithm is very effective and is supported by PHP's mcrypt cryptographic extension (in contrast to XXTEA cipher) so you may find this module useful when you need interoperability between JS and PHP and don't need stronger cryptography.

This module exports four functions:

Encrypts data using XTEA cipher using specified block cipher mode of operation and PKCS#7 padding.

• Buffer msg Message to encrypt
• Buffer key 128-bit encryption key (16 bytes)
• string [mode=ecb] Block cipher mode of operation (currently only 'ecb' or 'cbc')
• Buffer [iv] Optional IV
• bool [skippad] Skip PKCS#7 padding postprocessing

• Buffer

Decrypts data using XTEA cipher using specified block cipher mode of operation and PKCS#7 padding.

• Buffer msg Ciphertext to decrypt
• Buffer key 128-bit encryption key (16 bytes)
• string [mode=ecb] Block cipher mode of operation (currently only 'ecb' or 'cbc')
• Buffer [iv] Optional IV
• bool [skippad] Skip PKCS#7 padding postprocessing

• Buffer

Encrypts single block of data using XTEA cipher.

• Buffer block 64-bit (8-bytes) block of data to encrypt
• Buffer key 128-bit (16-bytes) encryption key

• Buffer 64-bit of encrypted block

Decrypts single block of data using XTEA cipher.

• Buffer block 64-bit (8-bytes) block of data to encrypt
• Buffer key 128-bit (16-bytes) encryption key

• Buffer 64-bit of encrypted block

var xtea = require('xtea');

var plaintext = new Buffer('Zażółć gęślą jaźń', 'utf8');
var key = new Buffer('33fd7bd6d85ddbe134c23fcb09c37e5a', 'hex');
var ciphertext = xtea.encrypt( plaintext, key );

console.log( ciphertext.toString('hex') );
console.log( xtea.decrypt( ciphertext, key ).toString() );

expected output:

    return mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_XTEA, $key, $msg, $mode, $iv);
}

function xtea_decrypt($msg, $key, $mode, $iv) {
    $msg = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_XTEA, $key, $msg, $mode, $iv);
    $pad = ord($msg[ strlen($msg) - 1 ]);
    return substr($msg, 0, strlen($msg) - $pad);
}
