sodium

The popular salt-based cryptographic library from libsodium.
Specializing in cryptographic practices for security various types of data.
All data created by this library is formatted in hexadecimal for memory safety.

Functions

sodium.random(min: number, max: number, alpha?: boolean): string


sodium.random(min: number, max: number, alpha?: boolean): string

Creates a randomly generated string.
If alpha is true then strings will be alphabets rather than hexadecimal.

Hex

Hexadecimal (or "hex") is a base-16 number system commonly used to represent binary data in a compact form.

sodium.hex.encode(input: string): string


sodium.hex.encode(input: string): string

Converts data into it's hexadecimal form.

Signature

Digital signatures are used to provide authenticity and integrity of a cipher message.
They use public-key cryptography and a hash function to create a unique digital signature that can be used to verify the authenticity and integrity of the message.

sodium.signature.key(): string, string


sodium.signature.key(): string, string

Creates a two-pair signature key.
Return in order of "Public Key" and "Secret Key".

sodium.signature.encode(input: string, sk: string): string


sodium.signature.encode(input: string, sk: string): string

Encodes a message with the secret key.

sodium.signature.decode(input: string, pk: string): string


sodium.signature.decode(input: string, pk: string): string

Decodes a message with the public key.
