In one our project, we have used 'crypto-js' library. http://github.com/brix/crypto-js
import * as CryptoJS from 'crypto-js';
encryptData(data) {
try {
return CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(JSON.stringify(data), this.encryptSecretKey).toString();
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
}
decryptData(data) {
try {
const bytes = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(data, this.encryptSecretKey);
if (bytes.toString()) {
return JSON.parse(bytes.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8));
}
return data;
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
}
Encrypting things on client side has no sense, since the key would be either stored in Javascript code or sent through network. In both cases it's impossible to obfuscate.
Though it's not perfect, window.btoa()
will provide basic base-64
encoding, to avoid everyone reading the user data. This could be your quickest solution. As encryption on the client side is not secured, because everything that comes to the browser can be seen by the end user (Your code or Ajax call, etc), even your encryption key.
You can use crypto.js to encrypt data. See this if you don't know how to use it with Angular.
Next, you put the encrypted data into your local storage. See this tutorial.
You can also use secure-ls. No need to maintain the decryption key at client side.
import * as SecureLS from 'secure-ls';
export class StorageService {
private _ls = new SecureLS({ encodingType: 'aes' });
constructor() {
}
set(key: string, value: any, expired: number = 0) {
this._ls.set(key, value);
}
remove(key: string) {
this._ls.remove(key);
}
get(key: string) {
return this._ls.get(key);
}
clear() {
this._ls.removeAll();
}
}
