Node-RSA

Node.js RSA library<br/> Based on jsbn library from Tom Wu http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/

Example

const NodeRSA = require('node-rsa');
const key = new NodeRSA({b: 512});

const text = 'Hello RSA!';
const encrypted = key.encrypt(text, 'base64');
console.log('encrypted: ', encrypted);
const decrypted = key.decrypt(encrypted, 'utf8');
console.log('decrypted: ', decrypted);

Installing

npm install node-rsa

<sub>Requires nodejs >= 8.11.1</sub>

Testing

npm test

Work environment

This library developed and tested primary for Node.js, but it still can work in browsers with browserify.

Usage

Create instance

const NodeRSA = require('node-rsa');

const key = new NodeRSA([keyData, [format]], [options]);

Options

You can specify some options by second/third constructor argument, or over key.setOptions() method.

Notice: This lib supporting next hash algorithms: 'md5', 'ripemd160', 'sha1', 'sha256', 'sha512' in browser and node environment and additional 'md4', 'sha', 'sha224', 'sha384' in node only.

<sub>Some advanced options info</sub>

Creating "empty" key

const key = new NodeRSA();

Generate new 512bit-length key

const key = new NodeRSA({b: 512});

Also you can use next method:

key.generateKeyPair([bits], [exp]);

Load key from PEM string

const key = new NodeRSA('-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n'+
                      'MIIBOQIBAAJAVY6quuzCwyOWzymJ7C4zXjeV/232wt2ZgJZ1kHzjI73wnhQ3WQcL\n'+
                      'DFCSoi2lPUW8/zspk0qWvPdtp6Jg5Lu7hwIDAQABAkBEws9mQahZ6r1mq2zEm3D/\n'+
                      'VM9BpV//xtd6p/G+eRCYBT2qshGx42ucdgZCYJptFoW+HEx/jtzWe74yK6jGIkWJ\n'+
                      'AiEAoNAMsPqwWwTyjDZCo9iKvfIQvd3MWnmtFmjiHoPtjx0CIQCIMypAEEkZuQUi\n'+
                      'pMoreJrOlLJWdc0bfhzNAJjxsTv/8wIgQG0ZqI3GubBxu9rBOAM5EoA4VNjXVigJ\n'+
                      'QEEk1jTkp8ECIQCHhsoq90mWM/p9L5cQzLDWkTYoPI49Ji+Iemi2T5MRqwIgQl07\n'+
                      'Es+KCn25OKXR/FJ5fu6A6A+MptABL3r8SEjlpLc=\n'+
                      '-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----');

Import/Export keys

key.importKey(keyData, [format]);
key.exportKey([format]);

Format string syntax

Format string composed of several parts: scheme-[key_type]-[output_type]<br/>

Scheme — NodeRSA supports multiple format schemes for import/export keys:

Key type — can be 'private' or 'public'. Default 'private'<br/> Output type — can be:

Notice: For import, if keyData is PEM string or buffer containing string, you can do not specify format, but if you provide keyData as DER you must specify it in format string.

Shortcuts and examples

Code example

const keyData = '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- ... -----END PUBLIC KEY-----';
key.importKey(keyData, 'pkcs8');
const publicDer = key.exportKey('pkcs8-public-der');
const privateDer = key.exportKey('pkcs1-der');

key.importKey({
    n: Buffer.from('0086fa9ba066685845fc03833a9699c8baefb53cfbf19052a7f10f1eaa30488cec1ceb752bdff2df9fad6c64b3498956e7dbab4035b4823c99a44cc57088a23783', 'hex'),
    e: 65537,
    d: Buffer.from('5d2f0dd982596ef781affb1cab73a77c46985c6da2aafc252cea3f4546e80f40c0e247d7d9467750ea1321cc5aa638871b3ed96d19dcc124916b0bcb296f35e1', 'hex'),
    p: Buffer.from('00c59419db615e56b9805cc45673a32d278917534804171edcf925ab1df203927f', 'hex'),
    q: Buffer.from('00aee3f86b66087abc069b8b1736e38ad6af624f7ea80e70b95f4ff2bf77cd90fd', 'hex'),

    dmq1: Buffer.from('1a7370470e0f8a4095df40922a430fe498720e03e1f70d257c3ce34202249d21', 'hex'),
    coeff: Buffer.from('00b399675e5e81506b729a777cc03026f0b2119853dfc5eb124610c0ab82999e45', 'hex')
}, 'components');
const publicComponents = key.exportKey('components-public');
console.log(publicComponents);

/*

  e: 65537 
}
*/

If you want to only import the public key use 'components-public' as an option:

key.importKey({
    n: Buffer.from('0086fa9ba066685845fc03833a9699c8baefb53cfbf19052a7f10f1eaa30488cec1ceb752bdff2df9fad6c64b3498956e7dbab4035b4823c99a44cc57088a23783', 'hex'),
    e: 65537,
}, 'components-public');

Properties

Key testing

key.isPrivate();
key.isPublic([strict]);

strict — {boolean} — if true method will return false if key pair have private exponent. Default false.

key.isEmpty();

Return true if key pair doesn't have any data.

Key info

key.getKeySize();

Return key size in bits.

key.getMaxMessageSize();

Return max data size for encrypt in bytes.

Encrypting/decrypting

key.encrypt(buffer, [encoding], [source_encoding]);
key.encryptPrivate(buffer, [encoding], [source_encoding]); // use private key for encryption

Return encrypted data.<br/>

key.decrypt(buffer, [encoding]);
key.decryptPublic(buffer, [encoding]); // use public key for decryption

Return decrypted data.<br/>

Notice: encryptPrivate and decryptPublic using only pkcs1 padding type 1 (not random)

Signing/Verifying

key.sign(buffer, [encoding], [source_encoding]);

Return signature for buffer. All the arguments are the same as for encrypt method.

key.verify(buffer, signature, [source_encoding], [signature_encoding])

Return result of check, true or false.<br/>
