How does cryptography work in JavaScript?

Can you explain how cryptography works in JavaScript?

Sure! Cryptography in JavaScript typically involves using libraries like CryptoJS or the Web Crypto API to encrypt and decrypt data.

What are some common algorithms used in JavaScript for encryption?

Common algorithms include AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), RSA, and SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) for hashing.

How do I implement AES encryption in my JavaScript application?

You can use the CryptoJS library. First, include it in your project, then use CryptoJS.AES.encrypt() to encrypt data.

Are there any security concerns I should be aware of?

Yes, always ensure you're using secure keys, avoid hardcoding them, and keep your libraries up to date to mitigate vulnerabilities.
