Encrypting data with AES128 in JavaScript

Usage

AES128 uses a 16 byte secret key.

const key = new Uint8Array(16);
crypto.getRandomValues(key);

The Dero Protocol

The protocol uses a pair of rings, one for the senders, one for the receivers, represented as a singular ring. With each transfer, a list of ElGamal ciphertexts is provided for all accounts within the joint ring. This ElGamal ciphertext is formed as r * G, (r * K) + (a * G), where r is some randomness, K is the key for the account the ciphertext is for, and a is the amount.

The Dero Wallet Protocol

Dero offers an 'encrypted message' with every transaction. Even if the user does not explicitly provide one, a message will exist (either with internally provided values or left empty). For the only defined type of message, the message is encoded as the index of the sender, a CBOR-encoded object, and zero-padding. The message is encrypted with the Chacha20 stream created by a key of H(H(r * K) || K) where r is some randomness and K is the key for the account the ciphertext is for.

NodeJS is a powerful tool for backend developers, but you must be aware of multi-core processing in order to maximize the potential of your CPU. This NodeJS multi-core feature is mostly used for webservers and NodeJS has already out of the box the cluster module thereto. Although NodeJS has also out of the box the module threads used for CPU intensive jobs, it's not so easy to deal with.

Let's create a project that will test a single-thread and a multi-thread application with the task of running N iterations, each iteration doing heavy data processing and writing some random data to a file, each iteration having a different file.

Create the project:

mkdir test-threads && cd test-threads
npm init -y

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

1. Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
   Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
2. If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
3. Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

Common OpenSSL Commands with Keys and Certificates

SSL Info

Generate RSA private key with certificate in a single command

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -keyout example.key -out example.crt -subj "/CN=example.com" -days 3650 -passout pass:foobar

Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from private key with passphrase

openssl x509 -x509toreq -in example.crt -out example.csr -signkey example.key -passin pass:foobar

Node.js TLS plain TLS sockets

This guide shows how to set up a bidirectional client/server authentication for plain TLS sockets.

Newer versions of openssl are stricter about certificate purposes. Use extensions accordingly.

Prepare certificates

Generate a Certificate Authority:

fntlnz

Create Root CA (Done once)

Create Root Key

Attention: this is the key used to sign the certificate requests, anyone holding this can sign certificates on your behalf. So keep it in a safe place!

openssl genrsa -des3 -out rootCA.key 4096

# The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit.
# If the tag points to the commit, then only the tag is shown.
# Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object 
# and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit.
git describe

# With --abbrev set to 0, the command can be used to find the closest tagname without any suffix:
git describe --abbrev=0
