Class: Crypt
The encryption provider: encrypts data with AES-256-GCM (authenticated encryption), with key rotation (the first key encrypts, every key decrypts). Use it to keep secrets confidential at rest or through a client: tokens stored in a database, data put in a cookie. The encrypted data is also tamper-proof: changing a byte makes it fail to decrypt. It is not a password hash: a value that only needs to be checked, never read back, belongs to PasswordHash.
Declare it in the providers of the application ({class: Crypt, keys: [...]}) and get it with @Inject or getObject(); it is scoped, like every provider. Each encryption derives a fresh key from the configured key and a random salt (HKDF-sha256) and uses a random IV, so encrypting the same data twice gives different outputs. The output is a base64url string (no padding) of 1 version byte, a 16-byte salt, a 12-byte IV, a 16-byte authentication tag and the ciphertext (45 bytes more than the data, before base64url), the same format as encryptByKey.
Example
import {Application} from 'lakutata'
import {Crypt, DecryptionFailedException, generateSecret} from 'lakutata/security'
Application
.run(() => ({
id: 'vault.app',
name: 'Vault',
providers: {
//The keys come from the environment: the new key first, the previous one kept to decrypt
crypt: {class: Crypt, keys: [process.env.CRYPT_KEY ?? generateSecret(), process.env.CRYPT_PREVIOUS_KEY ?? generateSecret()]}
}
}))
.onLaunched(async (app: Application): Promise<void> => {
const crypt: Crypt = await app.getObject('crypt')
const encrypted: string = crypt.encrypt('api-token-123')
try {
console.log(crypt.decryptString(encrypted))
console.log(crypt.decrypt(encrypted).length)
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof DecryptionFailedException) console.log('Changed, or encrypted with an unknown key')
}
})Extends
Constructors
Constructor
new Crypt(
cradleProxy):Crypt
Called by the container only: an object is created through a container (see the class description), never with new.
Parameters
cradleProxy
Record<string | symbol, any>
The container's resolution proxy.
Returns
Crypt

Function
The initial value of Object.prototype.constructor is the standard built-in Object constructor.
Inherited from
Provider.constructor
keys
readonlykeys:string[]
The secret keys, at least one, each a string of at least 16 characters used as its UTF-8 bytes (it is not decoded from base64). The first key encrypts, every key decrypts: to rotate, put the new key first and keep the previous ones while data encrypted with them is still read. Use random keys, such as the output of generateSecret: the key derivation is fast, so a low-entropy key (a password) is open to brute force; to encrypt with a password, use encryptByPassword. Required.
