Node.js RSA library
Based on jsbn library from Tom Wuhttp://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/

• Pure JavaScript
• No needed OpenSSL
• Generating keys
• Supports long messages for encrypt/decrypt
• Signing and verifying

constNodeRSA=require('node-rsa');constkey=newNodeRSA({b:512});consttext='Hello RSA!';constencrypted=key.encrypt(text,'base64');console.log('encrypted: ',encrypted);constdecrypted=key.decrypt(encrypted,'utf8');console.log('decrypted: ',decrypted);

npm install node-rsa

_{Requires nodejs >= 8.11.1}

npmtest

This library developed and tested primary for Node.js, but it still can work in browsers withbrowserify.

constNodeRSA=require('node-rsa');constkey=newNodeRSA([keyData,[format]],[options]);

• keyData —{string|buffer|object} — parameters for generating key or the key in one of supported formats.
  
• format —{string} — format for importing key. See more details about formats inExport/Import section.
  
• options —{object} — additional settings.

You can specify some options by second/third constructor argument, or overkey.setOptions() method.

• environment — working environment (default autodetect):
  • 'browser' — will run pure js implementation of RSA algorithms.
  • 'node' fornodejs >= 0.10.x or io.js >= 1.x — provide some native methods like sign/verify and encrypt/decrypt.
• encryptionScheme — padding scheme for encrypt/decrypt. Can be'pkcs1_oaep' or'pkcs1'. Default'pkcs1_oaep'.
• signingScheme — scheme used for signing and verifying. Can be'pkcs1' or'pss' or 'scheme-hash' format string (eg'pss-sha1'). Default'pkcs1-sha256', or, if chosen pss:'pss-sha1'.

Notice: This lib supporting next hash algorithms:'md5','ripemd160','sha1','sha256','sha512' in browser and node environment and additional'md4','sha','sha224','sha384' in node only.

_{Someadvanced options info}

constkey=newNodeRSA();

constkey=newNodeRSA({b:512});

Also you can use next method:

key.generateKeyPair([bits],[exp]);

• bits —{int} — key size in bits. 2048 by default.
• exp —{int} — public exponent. 65537 by default.

constkey=newNodeRSA('-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n'+'MIIBOQIBAAJAVY6quuzCwyOWzymJ7C4zXjeV/232wt2ZgJZ1kHzjI73wnhQ3WQcL\n'+'DFCSoi2lPUW8/zspk0qWvPdtp6Jg5Lu7hwIDAQABAkBEws9mQahZ6r1mq2zEm3D/\n'+'VM9BpV//xtd6p/G+eRCYBT2qshGx42ucdgZCYJptFoW+HEx/jtzWe74yK6jGIkWJ\n'+'AiEAoNAMsPqwWwTyjDZCo9iKvfIQvd3MWnmtFmjiHoPtjx0CIQCIMypAEEkZuQUi\n'+'pMoreJrOlLJWdc0bfhzNAJjxsTv/8wIgQG0ZqI3GubBxu9rBOAM5EoA4VNjXVigJ\n'+'QEEk1jTkp8ECIQCHhsoq90mWM/p9L5cQzLDWkTYoPI49Ji+Iemi2T5MRqwIgQl07\n'+'Es+KCn25OKXR/FJ5fu6A6A+MptABL3r8SEjlpLc=\n'+'-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----');

key.importKey(keyData,[format]);key.exportKey([format]);

• keyData —{string|buffer} — may be:
  • key in PEM string
  • Buffer containing PEM string
  • Buffer containing DER encoded data
  • Object contains key components
• format —{string} — format id for export/import.

Format string composed of several parts:scheme-[key_type]-[output_type]

Scheme — NodeRSA supports multiple format schemes for import/export keys:

• 'pkcs1' — public key starts from'-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----' header and private key starts from'-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----' header
• 'pkcs8' — public key starts from'-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----' header and private key starts from'-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----' header
• 'openssh' — public key starts from'ssh-rsa' header and private key starts from'-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----' header
• 'components' — use it for import/export key from/to raw components (see example below). For private key, importing data should contain all private key components, for public key: only public exponent (e) and modulus (n). All components (excepte) should be Buffer,e could be Buffer or just normal Number.

Key type — can be'private' or'public'. Default'private'
Output type — can be:

• 'pem' — Base64 encoded string with header and footer. Used by default.
• 'der' — Binary encoded key data.

Notice: For import, ifkeyData is PEM string or buffer containing string, you can do not specify format, but if you providekeyData as DER you must specify it in format string.

Shortcuts and examples

• 'private' or'pkcs1' or'pkcs1-private' =='pkcs1-private-pem' — private key encoded in pcks1 scheme as pem string.
• 'public' or'pkcs8-public' =='pkcs8-public-pem' — public key encoded in pcks8 scheme as pem string.
• 'pkcs8' or'pkcs8-private' =='pkcs8-private-pem' — private key encoded in pcks8 scheme as pem string.
• 'pkcs1-der' =='pkcs1-private-der' — private key encoded in pcks1 scheme as binary buffer.
• 'pkcs8-public-der' — public key encoded in pcks8 scheme as binary buffer.

Code example

constkeyData='-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- ... -----END PUBLIC KEY-----';key.importKey(keyData,'pkcs8');constpublicDer=key.exportKey('pkcs8-public-der');constprivateDer=key.exportKey('pkcs1-der');

key.importKey({n:Buffer.from('0086fa9ba066685845fc03833a9699c8baefb53cfbf19052a7f10f1eaa30488cec1ceb752bdff2df9fad6c64b3498956e7dbab4035b4823c99a44cc57088a23783','hex'),e:65537,d:Buffer.from('5d2f0dd982596ef781affb1cab73a77c46985c6da2aafc252cea3f4546e80f40c0e247d7d9467750ea1321cc5aa638871b3ed96d19dcc124916b0bcb296f35e1','hex'),p:Buffer.from('00c59419db615e56b9805cc45673a32d278917534804171edcf925ab1df203927f','hex'),q:Buffer.from('00aee3f86b66087abc069b8b1736e38ad6af624f7ea80e70b95f4ff2bf77cd90fd','hex'),dmp1:Buffer.from('008112f5a969fcb56f4e3a4c51a60dcdebec157ee4a7376b843487b53844e8ac85','hex'),dmq1:Buffer.from('1a7370470e0f8a4095df40922a430fe498720e03e1f70d257c3ce34202249d21','hex'),coeff:Buffer.from('00b399675e5e81506b729a777cc03026f0b2119853dfc5eb124610c0ab82999e45','hex')},'components');constpublicComponents=key.exportKey('components-public');console.log(publicComponents);/*{ n: <Buffer 00 86 fa 9b a0 66 68 58 45 fc 03 83 3a 96 99 c8 ba ef b5 3c fb f1 90 52 a7 f1 0f 1e aa 30 48 8c ec 1c eb 75 2b df f2 df 9f ad 6c 64 b3 49 89 56 e7 db ... >,  e: 65537}*/

If you want to only import the public key use'components-public' as an option:

key.importKey({n:Buffer.from('0086fa9ba066685845fc03833a9699c8baefb53cfbf19052a7f10f1eaa30488cec1ceb752bdff2df9fad6c64b3498956e7dbab4035b4823c99a44cc57088a23783','hex'),e:65537,},'components-public');

key.isPrivate();key.isPublic([strict]);

strict —{boolean} — if true method will return false if key pair have private exponent. Defaultfalse.

key.isEmpty();

Returntrue if key pair doesn't have any data.

key.getKeySize();

Return key size in bits.

key.getMaxMessageSize();

Return max data size for encrypt in bytes.

key.encrypt(buffer,[encoding],[source_encoding]);key.encryptPrivate(buffer,[encoding],[source_encoding]);// use private key for encryption

Return encrypted data.

• buffer —{buffer} — data for encrypting, may be string, Buffer, or any object/array. Arrays and objects will encoded to JSON string first.
  
• encoding —{string} — encoding for output result, may be'buffer','binary','hex' or'base64'. Default'buffer'.
  
• source_encoding —{string} — source encoding, works only with string buffer. Can take standard Node.js Buffer encodings (hex, utf8, base64, etc).'utf8' by default.
  

key.decrypt(buffer,[encoding]);key.decryptPublic(buffer,[encoding]);// use public key for decryption

Return decrypted data.

• buffer —{buffer} — data for decrypting. Takes Buffer object or base64 encoded string.
  
• encoding —{string} — encoding for result string. Can also take'buffer' for raw Buffer object, or'json' for automatic JSON.parse result. Default'buffer'.

Notice:encryptPrivate anddecryptPublic using only pkcs1 padding type 1 (not random)

key.sign(buffer,[encoding],[source_encoding]);

Return signature for buffer. All the arguments are the same as forencrypt method.

key.verify(buffer,signature,[source_encoding],[signature_encoding])

Return result of check,true orfalse.

• buffer —{buffer} — data for check, same asencrypt method.
  
• signature —{string} — signature for check, result ofsign method.
  
• source_encoding —{string} — same as forencrypt method.
  
• signature_encoding —{string} — encoding of given signature. May be'buffer','binary','hex' or'base64'. Default'buffer'.
