Detailed explanation of asymmetric encryption in Node.js

This time I will bring you a detailed explanation of asymmetric encryption of Node.js, what are the precautions for using asymmetric encryption of Node.js, the following is a practical case, let’s take a look together take a look.

Preface

I just answered the question "Asymmetric decryption error" raised by a brother on SegmentFault. This is a security application of Node.js. There should be many people encountering the same problem. Based on the questions answered, here is a brief summary.

For theoretical knowledge of asymmetric encryption, you can refer to the author's previous article "NODEJS Advanced: CRYPTO Module Theory".

The complete code can be found in "Nodejs Learning Notes". You are also welcome to pay attention to programmer Xiaoka's GitHub.

Encryption and decryption methods

In Node.js, the module responsible for security is crypto. In asymmetric encryption, public key encryption, private key decryption, and the corresponding APIs for encryption and decryption are as follows.

Encryption function:

crypto.publicEncrypt(key, buffer)

Decryption function:

crypto.privateDecrypt(privateKey, buffer)

Getting started example

Assume that there is the following utils.js

// utils.js
const crypto = require('crypto');
// 加密方法
exports.encrypt = (data, key) => {
 // 注意，第二个参数是Buffer类型
 return crypto.publicEncrypt(key, Buffer.from(data));
};
// 解密方法
exports.decrypt = (encrypted, key) => {
 // 注意，encrypted是Buffer类型
 return crypto.privateDecrypt(key, encrypted);
};

Test code app .js:

const utils = require('./utils');
const keys = require('./keys');
const plainText = '你好，我是程序猿小卡';
const crypted = utils.encrypt(plainText, keys.pubKey); // 加密
const decrypted = utils.decrypt(crypted, keys.privKey); // 解密
console.log(decrypted.toString()); // 你好，我是程序猿小卡

Attach the public key and private key keys.js:

exports.privKey = `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
