Encrypting Sensitive Data With Vanilla JavaScript And Web Crypto API
Learn how to encrypt & decrypt text using vanilla JavaScript & Web Crypto API, protecting sensitive info like API keys & user data from unauthorized access.
In today’s digital age, securing sensitive information like API keys, passwords, and user data is more critical than ever. A robust encryption and decryption strategy can prevent unauthorized access and ensure data confidentiality. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to encrypt and decrypt text using vanilla JavaScript, leveraging the Web Crypto API for a modern, secure approach. Why Use Encryption? Encryption transforms readable data (plaintext) into a scrambled format (ciphertext) that can only be read if decrypted with the correct key. This ensures that even if someone intercepts...
