Switch to a cross-env crypto lib ? #171

Closed CorentinTh closed 1 month ago

The enclosed lib currently rely on the native web crypto lib (for the web app) and node crypto (for the cli), witch make it hard to maintain and clutter the codebase. The idea is to mutualise crypto methods using an external dependency

Investigate feasability and security concern
It will allow to run enclosed in "non-secure" env
Which lib ?
- node-forge ?
- crypto-js ?

From the early test with forge, the performance drop is really nasty
