Encryption

Encryption describes the means (protocol, cipher etc) used to encrypt the content. Its purpose to enable the end-user’s presentation UI to quickly recognise the data and load the appropriate libraries required to decode the content when the appropriate credentials are supplied.

{
    "cipher" : "aes-256-ctr",
    "hash" : "sha256",
    "encoding" : "hex",
    "meta" : {
      "property": "value"
    }
}

Property	Description	Type	Required
cipher	Cipher the content is encrypted with.	string	Yes
encoding	Type of encoding used for the output.	object	Yes
hash	Hash type the content is encrypted with.	string	Yes
meta	Arbitrary Meta object of custom properties.	object	No

Note

Valid ciphers and hashes are derived from cryptojs using console.log(require(‘crypto’).getCiphers()).
