The Hasher Algorithms
MD5 MD5 is a widely used hash function. It's been used in a variety of security applications and is also commonly used to check the integrity of files. Though, MD5 is not collision resistant, and it isn't suitable for applications like SSL certificates or digital signatures that rely on this property.
var hash = CryptoJS.MD5("Message");
SHA-1 The SHA hash functions were designed by the National Security Agency (NSA). SHA-1 is the most established of the existing SHA hash functions, and it's used in a variety of security applications and protocols. Though, SHA-1's collision resistance has been weakening as new attacks are discovered or improved.
var hash = CryptoJS.SHA1("Message");
SHA-256 SHA-256 is one of the three variants in the SHA-2 set. It isn't as widely used as SHA-1, though it appears to provide much better security.
var hash = CryptoJS.SHA256("Message");
The Hasher Input
The hash algorithms accept either strings or instances of CryptoJS.lib.WordArray. A WordArray object represents an array of 32-bit words. When you pass a string, it's automatically converted to a WordArray encoded as UTF-8.
The Hasher Output
The hash you get back isn't a string yet. It's a WordArray object. When you use a WordArray object in a string context, it's automatically converted to a hex string.
var hash = CryptoJS.SHA256("Message"); alert(typeof hash); // object alert(hash); // 2f77668a9dfbf8d5848b9eeb4a7145ca94c6ed9236e4a773f6dcafa5132b2f91
You can convert a WordArray object to other formats by explicitly calling the toString method and passing an encoder.
var hash = CryptoJS.SHA256("Message"); alert(hash.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Base64)); // L3dmip37+NWEi57rSnFFypTG7ZI25Kdz9tyvpRMrL5E= alert(hash.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Latin1)); // /wf��ûøÕ���ëJqEÊ�Æí�6ä§söܯ¥+/� alert(hash.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Hex)); // 2f77668a9dfbf8d5848b9eeb4a7145ca94c6ed9236e4a773f6dcafa5132b2f91
Progressive Hashing
var sha256 = CryptoJS.algo.SHA256.create(); sha256.update("Message Part 1"); sha256.update("Message Part 2"); sha256.update("Message Part 3"); var hash = sha256.finalize();
HMAC
Keyed-hash message authentication codes (HMAC) is a mechanism for message authentication using cryptographic hash functions.
HMAC can be used in combination with any iterated cryptographic hash function.
var hash = CryptoJS.HmacMD5("Message", "Secret Passphrase"); var hash = CryptoJS.HmacSHA1("Message", "Secret Passphrase"); var hash = CryptoJS.HmacSHA256("Message", "Secret Passphrase");
Progressive HMAC Hashing
var hmac = CryptoJS.algo.HMAC.create(CryptoJS.algo.SHA256, "Secret Passphrase"); hmac.update("Message Part 1"); hmac.update("Message Part 2"); hmac.update("Message Part 3"); var hash = hmac.finalize();
PBKDF2
PBKDF2 is a password-based key derivation function. In many applications of cryptography, user security is ultimately dependent on a password, and because a password usually can't be used directly as a cryptographic key, some processing is required.
A salt provides a large set of keys for any given password, and an iteration count increases the cost of producing keys from a password, thereby also increasing the difficulty of attack.
var salt = CryptoJS.lib.WordArray.random(128/8); var key128Bits = CryptoJS.PBKDF2("Secret Passphrase", salt, { keySize: 128/32 }); var key256Bits = CryptoJS.PBKDF2("Secret Passphrase", salt, { keySize: 256/32 }); var key512Bits = CryptoJS.PBKDF2("Secret Passphrase", salt, { keySize: 512/32 }); var key512Bits1000Iterations = CryptoJS.PBKDF2("Secret Passphrase", salt, { keySize: 512/32, iterations: 1000 });
Ciphers
The Algorithms
AES The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). It was selected after a 5-year process where 15 competing designs were evaluated.
var encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase"); var decrypted = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(encrypted, "Secret Passphrase");
DES, Triple DES DES is a previously dominant algorithm for encryption, and was published as an official Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). DES is now considered to be insecure due to the small key size.
var encrypted = CryptoJS.DES.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase"); var decrypted = CryptoJS.DES.decrypt(encrypted, "Secret Passphrase");
Triple DES applies DES three times to each block to increase the key size. The algorithm is believed to be secure in this form.
var encrypted = CryptoJS.TripleDES.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase"); var decrypted = CryptoJS.TripleDES.decrypt(encrypted, "Secret Passphrase");
Rabbit Rabbit is a high-performance stream cipher and a finalist in the eSTREAM Portfolio. It is one of the four designs selected after a 3 1/2-year process where 22 designs were evaluated.
var encrypted = CryptoJS.Rabbit.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase"); var decrypted = CryptoJS.Rabbit.decrypt(encrypted, "Secret Passphrase");
RC4, RC4Drop RC4 is a widely-used stream cipher. It's used in popular protocols such as SSL and WEP. Although remarkable for its simplicity and speed, the algorithm's history doesn't inspire confidence in its security.
var encrypted = CryptoJS.RC4.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase"); var decrypted = CryptoJS.RC4.decrypt(encrypted, "Secret Passphrase");
It was discovered that the first few bytes of keystream are strongly non-random, and leak information about the key. We can defend against this attack by discarding the initial portion of the keystream. This modified algorithm is traditionally called RC4-drop.
By default, 192 words (768 bytes) are dropped, but you can configure the algorithm to drop any number of words.
var encrypted = CryptoJS.RC4Drop.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase"); var encrypted = CryptoJS.RC4Drop.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase", { drop: 3072/4 }); var decrypted = CryptoJS.RC4Drop.decrypt(encrypted, "Secret Passphrase", { drop: 3072/4 });
Custom Key and IV
var key = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse('000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f'); var iv = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse('101112131415161718191a1b1c1d1e1f'); var encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt("Message", key, { iv: iv });
Block Modes and Padding
var encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase", { mode: CryptoJS.mode.CFB, padding: CryptoJS.pad.AnsiX923 });
CryptoJS supports the following modes:
CBC (the default) CFB CTR OFB ECB And CryptoJS supports the following padding schemes:
Pkcs7 (the default) Iso97971 AnsiX923 Iso10126 ZeroPadding NoPadding The Cipher Input
For the plaintext message, the cipher algorithms accept either strings or instances of CryptoJS.lib.WordArray.
For the key, when you pass a string, it's treated as a passphrase to derive an actual key and IV. Or you can pass a WordArray that represents the actual key. If you pass the actual key, you must also pass the actual IV.
For the ciphertext, the cipher algorithms accept either strings or instances of CryptoJS.lib.CipherParams. A CipherParams object represents a collection of parameters such as the IV, a salt, and the raw ciphertext itself. When you pass a string, it's automatically converted to a CipherParams object according to a configurable format strategy.
The Cipher Output
The plaintext you get back after decryption is a WordArray object. See Hashers' Output for more detail.
The ciphertext you get back after encryption isn't a string yet. It's a CipherParams object. A CipherParams object gives you access to all the parameters used during encryption. When you use a CipherParams object in a string context, it's automatically converted to a string according to a format strategy. The default is an OpenSSL-compatible format.
var encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase"); alert(encrypted.key); // 74eb593087a982e2a6f5dded54ecd96d1fd0f3d44a58728cdcd40c55227522223 alert(encrypted.iv); // 7781157e2629b094f0e3dd48c4d786115 alert(encrypted.salt); // 7a25f9132ec6a8b34 alert(encrypted.ciphertext); // 73e54154a15d1beeb509d9e12f1e462a0 alert(encrypted); // U2FsdGVkX1+iX5Ey7GqLND5UFUoV0b7rUJ2eEvHkYqA=
You can define your own formats in order to be compatible with other crypto implementations. A format is an object with two methods—stringify and parse—that converts between CipherParams objects and ciphertext strings.
Here's how you might write a JSON formatter:
var JsonFormatter = { stringify: function (cipherParams) { var jsonObj = { ct: cipherParams.ciphertext.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Base64) }; if (cipherParams.iv) { jsonObj.iv = cipherParams.iv.toString(); } if (cipherParams.salt) { jsonObj.s = cipherParams.salt.toString(); } return JSON.stringify(jsonObj); }, parse: function (jsonStr) { var jsonObj = JSON.parse(jsonStr); var cipherParams = CryptoJS.lib.CipherParams.create({ ciphertext: CryptoJS.enc.Base64.parse(jsonObj.ct) }); if (jsonObj.iv) { cipherParams.iv = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(jsonObj.iv) } if (jsonObj.s) { cipherParams.salt = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse(jsonObj.s) } return cipherParams; } }; var encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt("Message", "Secret Passphrase", { format: JsonFormatter }); alert(encrypted); // {"ct":"tZ4MsEnfbcDOwqau68aOrQ==","iv":"8a8c8fd8fe33743d3638737ea4a00698","s":"ba06373c8f57179c"} var decrypted = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(encrypted, "Secret Passphrase", { format: JsonFormatter }); alert(decrypted.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8)); // Message
Progressive Ciphering
var key = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse('000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f'); var iv = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse('101112131415161718191a1b1c1d1e1f'); var aesEncryptor = CryptoJS.algo.AES.createEncryptor(key, { iv: iv }); var ciphertextPart1 = aesEncryptor.process("Message Part 1"); var ciphertextPart2 = aesEncryptor.process("Message Part 2"); var ciphertextPart3 = aesEncryptor.process("Message Part 3"); var ciphertextPart4 = aesEncryptor.finalize(); var aesDecryptor = CryptoJS.algo.AES.createDecryptor(key, { iv: iv }); var plaintextPart1 = aesDecryptor.process(ciphertextPart1); var plaintextPart2 = aesDecryptor.process(ciphertextPart2); var plaintextPart3 = aesDecryptor.process(ciphertextPart3); var plaintextPart4 = aesDecryptor.process(ciphertextPart4); var plaintextPart5 = aesDecryptor.finalize();
Interoperability
With OpenSSL Encrypt with OpenSSL:
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -in infile -out outfile -pass pass:"Secret Passphrase" -e -base64
Decrypt with CryptoJS:
var decrypted = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(openSSLEncrypted, "Secret Passphrase");
Encoders
CryptoJS can convert from encoding formats such as Base64, Latin1 or Hex to WordArray objects and vica versa.
var words = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.parse('SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ=='); var base64 = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(words); var words = CryptoJS.enc.Latin1.parse('Hello, World!'); var latin1 = CryptoJS.enc.Latin1.stringify(words); var words = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.parse('48656c6c6f2c20576f726c6421'); var hex = CryptoJS.enc.Hex.stringify(words); var words = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse('𤭢'); var utf8 = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.stringify(words); var words = CryptoJS.enc.Utf16.parse('Hello, World!'); var utf16 = CryptoJS.enc.Utf16.stringify(words);
