CryptoJS

Name: tessl/npm-crypto-js
Author: tessl

CryptoJS is a comprehensive JavaScript cryptography library implementing standard cryptographic algorithms. It provides a modular architecture with support for hash functions, encryption algorithms, HMAC authentication, key derivation functions, and various encoding utilities for secure applications.

Package Information

Package Name: crypto-js
Package Type: npm
Language: JavaScript (CommonJS modules)
Installation: npm install crypto-js

Core Imports

Full Library Import:

var CryptoJS = require("crypto-js");
// Access all algorithms: CryptoJS.AES, CryptoJS.SHA256, etc.

ES6 Modular Import:

import sha256 from 'crypto-js/sha256';
import hmacSHA512 from 'crypto-js/hmac-sha512';
import Base64 from 'crypto-js/enc-base64';

CommonJS Modular Import:

var AES = require("crypto-js/aes");
var SHA256 = require("crypto-js/sha256");
var Base64 = require("crypto-js/enc-base64");

Basic Usage

var CryptoJS = require("crypto-js");

// Hash a message
var hash = CryptoJS.SHA256("Hello World");
console.log(hash.toString()); // hex string

// Encrypt a message
var ciphertext = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt('my message', 'secret key 123');
console.log(ciphertext.toString()); // base64 string

// Decrypt the message
var bytes = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(ciphertext, 'secret key 123');
var originalText = bytes.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);
console.log(originalText); // 'my message'

// Create HMAC
var hmac = CryptoJS.HmacSHA256("message", "key");
console.log(hmac.toString());

Architecture

CryptoJS is built around several key architectural components:

Core Library: Base classes and utilities (CryptoJS.lib) providing WordArray, Hasher, and Cipher templates
Modular Algorithms: Each cryptographic algorithm implemented as a separate module for selective importing
Encoding System: Comprehensive encoding utilities (CryptoJS.enc) for format conversion between different representations
Cipher Framework: Unified cipher interface with pluggable modes and padding schemes
Helper Functions: Simplified API functions created via _createHelper() and _createHmacHelper() patterns

Capabilities

Hash Functions

Cryptographic hash algorithms for data integrity and digital signatures. All hash functions accept string or WordArray input and return WordArray output.

// Hash Functions
CryptoJS.MD5(message)          // MD5 hash algorithm
CryptoJS.SHA1(message)         // SHA-1 hash algorithm  
CryptoJS.SHA224(message)       // SHA-224 hash algorithm
CryptoJS.SHA256(message)       // SHA-256 hash algorithm
CryptoJS.SHA384(message)       // SHA-384 hash algorithm
CryptoJS.SHA512(message)       // SHA-512 hash algorithm
CryptoJS.SHA3(message, cfg)    // SHA-3 (Keccak) hash algorithm
CryptoJS.RIPEMD160(message)    // RIPEMD-160 hash algorithm

Hash Functions

Encryption Algorithms

Symmetric encryption algorithms for data confidentiality with support for various cipher modes and padding schemes.

// Encryption Functions
CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(message, key, cfg)           // AES encryption
CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(ciphertext, key, cfg)        // AES decryption
CryptoJS.DES.encrypt(message, key, cfg)           // DES encryption  
CryptoJS.TripleDES.encrypt(message, key, cfg)     // Triple DES encryption
CryptoJS.RC4.encrypt(message, key, cfg)           // RC4 stream cipher
CryptoJS.Rabbit.encrypt(message, key, cfg)        // Rabbit stream cipher

Encryption Algorithms

HMAC Authentication

Hash-based Message Authentication Code functions for message authentication and integrity verification.

// HMAC Functions  
CryptoJS.HmacMD5(message, key)       // HMAC using MD5
CryptoJS.HmacSHA1(message, key)      // HMAC using SHA-1
