CryptoMessageBox

A simple Key/Value storage, using MongoDB as the database.

Primary Use Cases

• Storing data securely in an untrusted MongoDB database.

This application uses RSA encryption algorithm to encrypt the given plain text on the client-side using the public key, then stores the ciphertext in a MongoDB collection. Decryptobox (https://github.com/arekmano/DecryptoBox) can then be used to decrypt the ciphertext into plain text once again, using the private key, on a trusted machine.

Getting Started

2. Generate an RSA public/private key pair:

 git clone [email protected]:arekmano/CryptoMessageBox.git 

3. Replace the public key in

    dev/js/constants.js

   with the generated key.
4. Run npm install:

 npm install
