Weird _key bug #41

Closed SimeonC closed 5 years ago

SimeonC commented 9 years ago

Using the following coffeescript I get this error: Error: in KDF: Failed due to scrubbed key!

_key = new Buffer "some_key_here"
encrypt { _key, data: new Buffer "secret_here" }, cb

But the following works flawsessly:

key = new Buffer "some_key_here"
encrypt { key, data: new Buffer "secret_here" }, cb

I think somewhere in the triplesec a _key variable is not being scoped properly?

+1, Any explanation on this error (or all errors) in a docs - will be helpful

Encrypt needs parameter named key, not a _key. Is there documentation that says otherwise?

@maxtaco thank you for reply, but I believe my error is passed values into encrypt method. Which types of parameters it accepts in browser? Uint8Array?

Found an answer by myself, but it will be more better to see it in docs (API docs isn't readable and didn't give understanding of how this thing works), so encrypt/decrypt methods accepts triplesec.Buffer:

triplesec.encrypt({key: new triplesec.Buffer('pass'), data: new triplesec.Buffer('value')}, function(err, res){console.log(err,res)});
