[Autokey](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autokey_cipher) stream cipher.

Encode/decode with different [encodings](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#apicontent) _for *String only_, from nodejs doc:
> - 'ascii' - for 7 bit ASCII data only. This encoding method is very fast, and will strip the high bit if set.
> - 'utf8' - Multibyte encoded Unicode characters. Many web pages and other document formats use UTF-8.
> - 'utf16le' - 2 or 4 bytes, little endian encoded Unicode characters. Surrogate pairs (U+10000 to U+10FFFF) are supported.
> - 'ucs2' - Alias of 'utf16le'.
> - 'base64' - Base64 string encoding.
> - 'binary' - A way of encoding raw binary data into strings by using only the first 8 bits of each character. This encoding method is deprecated and should be avoided in favor of Buffer objects where possible. This encoding will be removed in future versions of Node.
> - 'hex' - Encode each byte as two hexadecimal characters.

My original [python code](https://github.com/hex7c0/EncryptoPy/blob/master/modules/autokey.py)

## Installation

Install through NPM

```bash
npm install autokey
```
or
```bash
git clone git://github.com/hex7c0/autokey.git
```

## API

inside nodejs project
```js
var autokey = require('autokey');

var cipher = autokey('secret_key');
var d = cipher.encodeString('ciao');
var e = cipher.decodeString(d);
```

### Methods

change your key (warning)
```js
cipher.change('foo');
cipher.change([30, 31]);
cipher.change(new Buffer('foo'));
```

encode a plaintext string, you can optionally choose input (defaults to 'utf8') and output (defaults to 'hex') [encoding](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#apicontent)
```js
cipher.encodeString(plaintext [, input_encoding] [, output_encoding]]);
cipher.encodeString('string', 'utf8', 'base64');
```

encode a plaintext array
```js
cipher.encodeArray([49, 50, 51]);
```

encode a plaintext buffer data
```js
cipher.encodeBuffer(new Buffer('ciao'));
```

select right function according with plaintext data type. Set input and output [encoding](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#apicontent) only if data is a String
```js
cipher.encode(your_data [, input_encoding] [, output_encoding]]);
```

decode a ciphertext string, you can optionally choose input (defaults to 'hex') and output (defaults to 'utf8') [encoding](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#apicontent)
```js
cipher.decodeString(ciphertext [, input_encoding [, output_encoding]]);
cipher.decodeString('string', 'utf8', 'base64');
```

decode a ciphertext array
```js
cipher.decodeArray([49, 50, 51]);
```

decode a ciphertext buffer data
```js
cipher.decodeBuffer(new Buffer('ciao'));
```

select right function according with ciphertext data type. Set input and output [encoding](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#apicontent) only if data is a String
```js
cipher.decode(your_data [, input_encoding [, output_encoding]]);
```

### autokey(password [, lodash])

#### password

- `password` - **String | Array | Buffer** Your key *(default "throw Error")*

#### [lodash]

- `lodash` - **Boolean** Use [lodash](http://lodash.com/) library (check [benchmark](test/benchmark.js) test for right decision) *(default "disabled")*
