Class: Encryption

Introduction

Class for sign and decrypt messages.

The algorithm includes the implementation of the PGP encryption algorithm multi-public key encryption on typescript. Using the vanilla ed25519 implementation Schnorr signatures for signature and curve25519 for encryption. Learn more.

To get an instance of this class, is recommended to initialize it using the static build method.

static async build(privateKeyArmored: string, passphrase?: string): Promise<Encryption>

Installation

npm

npm install @human-protocol/sdk

yarn

yarn install @human-protocol/sdk

Input parameters

• privateKeyArmored - The encrypted private key in armored format.

• passphrase - The passphrase for the private key.

Code example

import { Encryption } from '@human-protocol/sdk';

const privateKey = 'Armored_priv_key';
const passphrase = 'example_passphrase';
const encription = await Encryption.build(privateKey, passphrase);

Constructors

new Encryption()

new Encryption(privateKey): Encryption

Constructor for the Encryption class.

Parameters

• privateKey: PrivateKey

The private key.

Returns

Encryption

Defined in

encryption.ts:53

Methods

decrypt()

decrypt(message, publicKey?): Promise<string>

This function decrypt message message using the private key. In addition, the public key can be added for signature verification.

Parameters

• message: string

Message to decrypt.

• publicKey?: string

Public key used to verify signature if needed. Optional.

Returns

Promise<string>

Message decrypted.

Code example

import { Encryption } from '@human-protocol/sdk';

const privateKey = 'Armored_priv_key';
const passphrase = 'example_passphrase';
const encription = await Encryption.build(privateKey, passphrase);

sign()

sign(message): Promise<string>

This function signs a message using the private key used to initialize the client.

Parameters

• message: string

Message to sign.

Returns

Promise<string>

Message signed.

Code example

import { Encryption } from '@human-protocol/sdk';

const privateKey = 'Armored_priv_key';
const passphrase = 'example_passphrase';
const encription = await Encryption.build(privateKey, passphrase);

const resultMessage = await encription.sign('message');

Defined in

encryption.ts:217

signAndEncrypt()

signAndEncrypt(message, publicKeys): Promise<string>

This function signs and encrypts a message using the private key used to initialize the client and the specified public keys.

Parameters

• message: string

Message to sign and encrypt.

• publicKeys: string[]

Array of public keys to use for encryption.

Returns

Promise<string>

Message signed and encrypted.

Code example

import { Encryption } from '@human-protocol/sdk';
import { EscrowClient } from '@human-protocol/sdk';

const privateKey = 'Armored_priv_key';
const passphrase = 'example_passphrase';
