# zkl-crypto
Cryptographic functions provider and example repository.
This module provides encryption and decryption functions for handling both binary data and strings using public and private keys. It utilizes `ecies-wasm` for the underlying cryptographic operations.
## Functions
### `encryptString(publicKey: Key, string: string): string`
Encrypts the given string with the recipient's public key. Returns the ciphertext as a hexadecimal string.
### `decryptString(privateKey: Key, string: string): string`
Decrypts the given ciphertext string (in hexadecimal format) with the recipient's private key. Returns the plaintext string.
### `encryptFile(publicKey: Key, data: Uint8Array): Uint8Array`
Encrypts the given binary data (`Uint8Array`) with the recipient's public key. Returns the ciphertext as a `Uint8Array`.
### `decryptFile(privateKey: Key, data: Uint8Array): Uint8Array`
Decrypts the given ciphertext data (`Uint8Array`) with the recipient's private key. Returns the plaintext data as a `Uint8Array`.
## Usage
```javascript
import { Key } from "./zkl-kds/key";
import { encryptString, decryptString, encryptFile, decryptFile } from "./crypto";
// Example usage:
const publicKey = new Key(/* ... */);
const privateKey = new Key(/* ... */);
// Encrypt a string
const plaintext = "Hello, World!";
const encryptedString = encryptString(publicKey, plaintext);
// Decrypt the string
const decryptedString = decryptString(privateKey, encryptedString);
console.log(decryptedString); // "Hello, World!"
// Encrypt binary data
const data = new Uint8Array([/* ... */]);
const encryptedData = encryptFile(publicKey, data);
// Decrypt the binary data
const decryptedData = decryptFile(privateKey, encryptedData);
console.log(decryptedData); // Uint8Array
```
## Example
To launch the example webpage:
```bash
pnpm install
npx webpack # use npx, pnpm - webpack integration is broken
```
then navigate to index.html.
## Error Handling
This module performs type checks on its inputs. It throws `TypeError` if arguments are not of the expected types. Additionally, the `decryptString` function issues a warning if the provided ciphertext string does not appear to be a valid hexadecimal string.
## Notes
- The `asHexString` method is added to `Uint8Array.prototype` if it does not already exist. This method converts a `Uint8Array` to a hexadecimal string representation.
- Ensure that your public and private keys are instances of the `Key` class provided by `zkl-kds/key`.
