Node native module to encrypt/decrypt data. On Windows, it uses DPAPI
function protectData(
userData: Uint8Array,
optionalEntropy: Uint8Array,
scope: "CurrentUser" | "LocalMachine"
): Uint8Array;
function unprotectData(
encryptedData: Uint8Array,
optionalEntropy: Uint8Array,
scope: "CurrentUser" | "LocalMachine"
): Uint8Array;
import * as dpapi from "node-dpapi";
const buffer = Buffer.from("Hello world", "utf-8");
const encrypted = dpapi.protectData(buffer, null, "CurrentUser");
const decrypted = dpapi.unprotectData(encrypted, null, "CurrentUser");
Q: Does this work on all platforms?
A: Currently it just works on Windows
