JSPM – bitcore-ecies-dash@1.0.1

Package Exports

bitcore-ecies-dash

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (bitcore-ecies-dash) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

# ECIES for bitcore

A module for bitcore 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 bitcore repo or the bitcore guide on ECIES for more information.

Credit to @ryanxcharles for the original implementation.

Getting started

ECIES will allow to securely encrypt and decrypt messages using ECDSA key pairs (bitcoin 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'
