A scuttlebutt plugin which adds private box (v1) support to your ssb-server or secret-stack app.

Example Usage

``js
const Server = require('ssb-server')

Server
.use(require('ssb-db'}) // << required
.use(require('ssb-private1'})

const server = Server()


const hey = {
type: 'post',
text: 'tongiht 8pm NZT suit me!',
recps: [
"@ye+QM09iPcDJD6YvQYjoQc7sLF/IFhmNbEqgdzQo3lQ=.ed25519",
"@6CAxOI3f+LUOVrbAl0IemqiS7ATpQvr9Mdw9LC4+Uv0=.ed25519",
]
}

server.publish(hey, (err, msg) => {
console.log(msg.value.content)
// => xU0u+8H2osHpfcqn.....keb+gn3/x8924tonhtJ3KshG/0cLexziQ==.box

server.close()
})
`

Dependencies

history

Previously this boxing / unboxing functionality was hard-coded into ssb-db`.
With the advent of private groups and different types of boxing / unboxing, I wanted to
provide the option to leave out the original private-box style encryption, so that apps
that don't use this older format can save energy trying to decrypt messages.
