I am trying to encrypt and decrypt values using node inbuild module crypto. I have followed this tutorial to encrypt the data. They haven’t to gave any sample code to decrypt. When I try to use other tutorial code to decrypt the data. It not working out. Please help me out,
Code
const crypto = require('crypto');
// Difining algorithm
const algorithm = 'aes-256-cbc';
// Defining key
const key = crypto.randomBytes(32);
// Defining iv
const iv = crypto.randomBytes(16);
// An encrypt function
function encrypt(text) {
// Creating Cipheriv with its parameter
let cipher = crypto.createCipheriv(
'aes-256-cbc', Buffer.from(key), iv);
// Updating text
let encrypted = cipher.update(text);
// Using concatenation
encrypted = Buffer.concat([encrypted, cipher.final()]);
// Returning iv and encrypted data
return encrypted.toString('hex');
}
var op = encrypt("Hi Hello"); //c9103b8439f8f1412e7c98cef5fa09a1

Since you havent provided the code for decryption, Cant help you what is actually wrong you doing, apart from that you can do this to get decrypted code:
const crypto = require('crypto')
// Defining key
const key = crypto.randomBytes(32)
// Defining iv
const iv = crypto.randomBytes(16)
// An encrypt function
function encrypt(text) {
// Creating Cipheriv with its parameter
const cipher = crypto.createCipheriv('aes-256-cbc', Buffer.from(key), iv)
// Updating text
let encrypted = cipher.update(text)
// Using concatenation
encrypted = Buffer.concat([encrypted, cipher.final()])
// Returning iv and encrypted data
return encrypted.toString('hex')
}
var op = encrypt('Hi Hello')
console.log(op)
function decrypt(data) {
// Creating Decipheriv with its parameter
const decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-256-cbc', Buffer.from(key), iv)
// Updating text
const decryptedText = decipher.update(data, 'hex', 'utf8')
const finalText = decryptedText + decipher.final('utf8')
return finalText
}
var decrptedData = decrypt(op)
console.log(decrptedData)
