.encrypt(password)

Description

encrypt uses AES encryption to securely encrypt a string with a password. The encrypted result can be decrypted using the same password with the .decrypt() method.

Parameters

encrypt needs one parameter:

• password: The password to use for encryption

Usage On Strings

str = "secret message"
encrypted = str.encrypt("myPassword123")
// Returns AES encrypted string

// Can be decrypted with the same password
decrypted = encrypted.decrypt("myPassword123")
log decrypted
// "secret message"

// Different password won't decrypt correctly
wrong = encrypted.decrypt("wrongPassword")
// Returns garbled text or fails

// Useful for storing sensitive data
userInfo = "sensitive data"
stored = userInfo.encrypt("secure-key")
// Store the encrypted version
