"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." Apocalypse 2:17
Encode to identify different types of encrypted content into a URI allowing the user to customize his ciphers with his preferred encryption algorithm.
npm install @encrypted-uri/core --save
The core will provide you with the main tools to interpret an Encrypted URI and to direct the content to the correct decryption algorithm, but the core does not include any algorithm, you will need to install this separately.
npm install @encrypted-uri/ciphers --save
The purpose of Encrypted URI is to be used to storage ciphered content in a qrcode. Through this encode it is possible to represent an encryption cipher with its main parameters in a lean way (to generate less dense qrcodes).
Encryption keys, private document signing keys and wallet seeds are examples of extremely sensitive information, which leads to a demand not to store them digitally, but physically and encrypted.
This tool is mainly proposed for encryption algorithms that can be decrypted with a key, but other types of algorithms can be supported if needed.
The encode allows customize your app defaults params for encryptation, you can also allow your user customize the algorithm in which he will store the information in his custody.
Encrypted URI are composed of five parts:
encrypted:[algorithm][?[args]];[cipher]
The encrypted
keyword identifies the string as encrypted uri.
The algorithm
is the algorithm name, if not set, aes/cbc
MUST be assumed. The mode
is separatted from algorithm name by a bar, like aes/cbc
. If the algorithm is set just as aes
, the operation mode MUST be assumed as CBC.
The args
are query string format arguments with values encoded into percent-encoded. If the algorithm requires one single mandatory argument, when this argument is send alone in args
it's not needed to include the attribute name.
The cipher
is the cipher or cipher params in a OpenSSL compatible string, the salt param are sent in the header Salted_ in the bytes.
The default, with default values ignored:
encrypted:?249c3d09119;U2FsdGVkX1mxOv5WpmRGHXZouip==
With all parameters include:
encrypted:aes/cbc?iv=249c3d09119&pad=pkcs%237;U2FsdGVkX1mxOv5WpmRGHXZouip
Customized:
encrypted:aes?iv=249c3d09119;U2FsdGVkX1mxOv5WpmRGHXZouip
Algorithm with no param:
encrypted:aes/ecb;U2FsdGVkX1mxOv5WpmRGHXZouip
Basic use, how to decode and encrypt and how to decode and decrypt:

import { ecb } from '@noble/ciphers/aes';
import { bytesToUtf8, utf8ToBytes } from '@noble/ciphers/utils';

) {

}
async decrypt(): Promise<string> {
const cipher = base64.decode(this.decoded.cipher || '');

return bytesToUtf8(result);
}

}
async encrypt(): Promise<TEncryptedURI<T>> {
const content = utf8ToBytes(this.params.content);
const saltLength = 8;
const salt = randomBytes(saltLength);

const cipher = base64.encode(OpenSSLSerializer.encode(rawCipher, salt));

}
Advanced use, how to add default encrypter and how to add more alias to an algorithm:

import { bytesToUtf8, hexToBytes, utf8ToBytes } from '@noble/ciphers/utils';
import { cbc } from '@noble/ciphers/webcrypto/aes';
import { randomBytes } from '@noble/hashes/utils';
import { base64 } from '@scure/base';
class EncryptedURIAESCBCDecrypter extends EncryptedURIDecrypter<TInitializationVectorParams> {

password: string
) {
super(decoded, password);
}
async decrypt(): Promise<string> {
const ivhex = getInitializationVector(this.decoded);
const cipher = base64.decode(this.decoded.cipher);
const params = getSalt(cipher, this.decoded?.params);
const result = await cbc(kdf(this.password, params.salt, this.decoded), hexToBytes(ivhex))
.decrypt(params.cipher);
return bytesToUtf8(result);
}
}
@EncryptedURIAlgorithm({

class EncryptedURIAESCBCEncrypter extends EncryptedURIEncrypter<TInitializationVectorParams> {

async encrypt(): Promise<TEncryptedURI<TInitializationVectorParams>> {
const ivhex = getInitializationVector(this.params);
const iv = hexToBytes(ivhex);
const content = utf8ToBytes(this.params.content);
const saltLength = 8;
const salt = randomBytes(saltLength);
const cipher = await cbc(kdf(this.params.password, salt, this.params), iv).encrypt(content);
return Promise.resolve({

}
}
EncryptedURI.setAlgorithm('', EncryptedURIAESCBCEncrypter, EncryptedURIAESCBCDecrypter);
EncryptedURI.setAlgorithm('aes', EncryptedURIAESCBCEncrypter, EncryptedURIAESCBCDecrypter);
- Private QRcode, allow you to create private qrcode using encrypted URI with AES algorithm fixed in it. It allow you to save your seeds, nsec and keys physically printed.

There's still a lot of work to do.
