xsalsa20-encoding

xsalsa20-encoding
=================

> XSalsa20 codec that implements that [abstract-encoding][abstract-encoding] interface.
> Nonces are generated randomly and prepended to the ciphertext.

Installation

``sh
$ npm install xsalsa20-encoding
`

Usage

`js
const codec = require('xsalsa20-encoding')(secretKey)

// encode a value
buffer = codec.encode(value)

// decode a value
value = codec.decode(buffer)
`

Example

`js
const crypto = require('crypto')
const Codec = require('xsalsa20-encoding')

const key = crypto.randomBytes(32)

const codec = Codec(key)
const hello = codec.encode('hello')
const world = codec.encode('world')

console.log('%s %s', codec.decode(hello), codec.decode(world)) // 'hello world'
`

$3

`js
const pbs = require('protocol-buffers')
const { Message } = pbs(
message {
string data = 1;
}
)

const codec = Codec(key, { valueEncoding: Message })
const encoded = codec.encode({ data: 'hello world' })
const message = codec.decode(encoded) // { data: 'hello world' }
`

API

$3

Create a codec object from 32 byte secretKey.

`js
const key = crypto.randomBytes(32)
const codec = Codec(key)
`

#### buffer = codec.encode(value[, output[, offset]])

Encode a value using xsalsa20
(XOR) into an optional output buffer at an optional offset
defaulting to 0. If an output buffer is not given, one is allocated
for you and returned.

`js
const buffer = codec.encode('hello world')
`

#### value = codec.decode(buffer[, offset])

Decode a buffer using xsalsa20
(XOR) at an optional offset defaulting to 0.

`js
const value = codec.decode(buffer)
`

#### length = codec.encodingLength(value)

Returns the encoding length for a given value.

`js
const length = codec.encodingLength('hello world') // 35
