# Encryption and Decryption using Node.js

This code provides a simple way to encrypt and decrypt text using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode with Node.js's `crypto` module.

## Pre requisites

Before using this code, make sure you have Node.js installed on your system.

## Usage

1. **Import the Module**

First, import the `encrypt` and `decrypt` functions from the module in your Node.js project.

```javascript
const crypto = require('./crypto');
```

2. **Set Encryption Parameters**

Modify the following constants in your code with your own values:

- `CHAVE`: A 32-character encryption key.
- `IV`: A 16-character initialization vector.
- `ALGORITMO`: The encryption algorithm, which is set to "aes-256-cbc" by default. You can change it if needed.
- `METODO_CRIPTOGRAFIA` and `METODO_DESCRIPTOGRAFIA`: The methods used for encoding the output. They are set to 'hex' by default.

3. **Encrypt Text**

To encrypt a piece of text, call the `encrypt` function and pass the text as a parameter.

```javascript
const textToEncrypt = 'This is a secret message';
const encryptedText = crypto.encrypt(textToEncrypt);
```

4. **Decrypt Text**

To decrypt the encrypted text, call the `decrypt` function and pass the encrypted text as a parameter.

```javascript
const decryptedText = crypto.decrypt(encryptedText);
```

5. **Complete Example**

Here's a complete example of how to use the code:

```javascript
const crypto = require('./crypto');

const CHAVE = 'bf3c199c2470cb477d907b1e0917c17e';
const IV = '5183666c72eec9e4';

// Encrypt
const textToEncrypt = 'This is a secret message';
const encryptedText = crypto.encrypt(textToEncrypt);
console.log('Encrypted:', encryptedText);

// Decrypt
const decryptedText = crypto.decrypt(encryptedText);
console.log('Decrypted:', decryptedText);
```

## Security Note

Make sure to keep your encryption key (`CHAVE`) and initialization vector (`IV`) secret and secure, as they are critical for the security of your encrypted data.
