AES-in-Node.js

This project demonstrates how to implement Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and decryption in Node.js using the crypto module. It allows encrypting and decrypting files, such as images, using AES-256-CBC mode.

Features

• AES-256 Encryption: Uses 256-bit keys for robust encryption.
• File Encryption & Decryption: Can encrypt and decrypt files like .jpg, .jpeg, .png, or any other file type.
• Dynamic Key Generation: Generates a new random key for each encryption.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm (or yarn)

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/anuuragg/AES-in-Node.js.git
   cd AES-in-Node.js

2. Install the necessary dependencies:

   npm install

Usage

Encrypt a File

Run the encryption script to encrypt a file. The encrypted file will be stored in the encrypted_files folder.

node src/encryption/encrypt.js

Decrypt a File

Run the decryption script to decrypt an encrypted file. The decrypted file will be stored in the decrypted_files folder.

node src/encryption/decrypt.js
