Prefer JS encrypt?

[Gaff]

Have you considered using jsencrypt instead of ursa? Not a killer thing but it's much kinder to windows users who otherwise need to install python to get ursa ro run.

Here's the npm link: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsencrypt

I had a quick look but I'm basically a node n00b and completely clueless on how to hack about with this stuff :p. However if I get the time / inclination I'll give it another go.

+1 just tried to install it and it failed because it requires Python 2, and I have 3

you're right, ursa doesn't even work with node.js 4.0

there's a fix, i've published it as @rstacruz/travis-encrypt for now.

I had to install node-gyp (which is pretty friendly now with windows-build-tools), and OpenSSL.

Maybe the solution is to use https://github.com/roblabla/ursa-purejs. This module would barely have to change. But it does have node-rsa as a dependency.

@pwmckenna would you be willing to accept a PR to use ursa-purejs instead of ursa?

I'm a collaborator. I'll allow it. :)
