Stanford Javascript Crypto Library
The Stanford Javascript Crypto Library, commonly known as sjcl, is an advanced toolset designed for Javascript cryptography. Developed with the expertise of Stanford University, sjcl provides a robust suite of cryptographic operations within a compact, efficient library. It is widely recognized for its performance and small footprint, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring secure communications. SJCL supports various cryptographic tasks including encryption, decryption, digital signing, and hash functions, ensuring a high level of security for web applications.
To integrate this powerful cryptography library into your project, you can use the command "npm install sjcl" to seamlessly add it to your Node.js environment. This installation process is quick and allows developers to easily implement strong encryption features into their applications. Once installed, sjcl offers a straightforward API that can handle complex cryptographic functions without requiring extensive cryptography knowledge from the developer, thus speeding up the development process and enhancing application security.
SJCL is notable not only for its strong security features but also for its open-source nature, allowing developers to review, modify, and improve the code according to their needs. This transparency is crucial for security software, as it permits the community to verify the integrity and robustness of the cryptographic functions it provides. Whether you are developing a commercial product or a personal project, sjcl gives you the tools to protect data effectively, ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential and tamper-proof.

codecBase32
has been re-enabled with changes to conform to RFC 4648:
=
is now applied to the output of fromBits
. If you don't want that padding, you can disable it by calling fromBits
with a second parameter of true
or anything that evaluates as "truthy" in JSsjcl.codec.base32
now matches that specified by the RFC, rather than the extended hex alphabet.sjcl.codec.base32hex
(also matching the RFC). So if you encoded something with base32
before, you'll want to decode it with base32hex
now.The documentation is available here
