A module for core that implements the Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES). Uses ECIES symmetric key negotiation from public keys to encrypt arbitrarily long data streams.
See the main orecore repo or the orecore guide on ECIES for more information.
Credit to @ryanxcharles for the original implementation.
ECIES will allow to securely encrypt and decrypt messages using ECDSA key pairs (galactrum cryptography).
var alice = ECIES()
.privateKey(aliceKey)
.publicKey(bobKey.publicKey);
var message = 'some secret message';
var encrypted = alice.encrypt(message);
// encrypted will contain an encrypted buffer only Bob can decrypt
var bob = ECIES()
.privateKey(bobKey)
.publicKey(aliceKey.publicKey);
var decrypted = bob
.decrypt(encrypted)
.toString();
// decrypted will be 'some secret message'See CONTRIBUTING.md on the main orecore repo for information about how to contribute.
