Methods

(inner) decryptStringAes256(inputData, inputMetaData) → {string}

Takes an encrypted string and decrypts it using the AES-256 algorithm, returning the original string.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
inputData string

The encrypted string to decrypt.

inputMetaData string

The string used as the decryption seed (same key used for encryption).

Returns:

The decrypted string.

Type
string

(inner) encryptStringAes256(inputData, inputMetaData) → {string}

Takes a string and runs it through an encryption algorithm, returning an encrypted version of the string. The algorithm used for the encryption is AES-256, I've included it as part of the function/rule name because we want to be able to distinguish it from other algorithms that might implement other encryption algorithms, such as RSA.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
inputData string

The string to be encrypted.

inputMetaData string

Another string that will be used as the encryption seed. Can be formatted with and "_", with a prefix and post-fix for public/private keys.
