#cryptr
cryptr is a simple encrypt and decrypt module for node.js
It is for doing simple encryption of values UTF-8 strings that need to be decrypted at a later time.
If you require anything more than that you probably want to use something more advanced or crypto directly.
The Cryptr constructor takes 1 required and 1 optional argument.
Cryptr(secret[, algorithm])
If an algorithm is not provided it defaults to aes-256-ctr
.
DO NOT USE THIS MODULE FOR ENCRYPTING PASSWORDS!
Passwords should be a one way hash. Use bcrypt for that.
npm install cryptr
var Cryptr = require('cryptr'),
cryptr = new Cryptr('myTotalySecretKey');
var encryptedString = cryptr.encrypt('bacon'),
decryptedString = cryptr.decrypt(encryptedString);
console.log(encryptedString); // d7233809c0
console.log(decryptedString); // bacon
