Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |

pubEncKey |
PubEncKey |
- Source:
Throws:
Example
// Assumes SAFEApp interface has been obtained
const asyncFn = async () => {
// For this example you're encrypting data with our own public encryption key,
// which only you will be able to deciper, however,
// the use case is for encrypting with the intended recipient's public encryption key.
const pubEncKey = await app.crypto.getAppPubEncKey();
const cipherOpt = await app.cipherOpt.newAsymmetric(pubEncKey);
const immdWriter = await app.immutableData.create();
const data = 'Data only decipherable by the holder of the private encryption key
which is paired to the public encryption key supplied to asymmetric cipher.';
await idWriter.write(data);
const idAddress = await idWriter.close(cipherOpt);
};newPlainText() → {Promises.<CipherOpt>}
Create a plaintext cipher

Example
// Assumes SAFEApp interface has been obtained
const asyncFn = async () => {
const cipherOpt = await app.cipherOpt.newPlainText();
const immdWriter = await app.immutableData.create();
await idWriter.write('<public file buffer data>');
const idAddress = await idWriter.close(cipherOpt);
};newSymmetric() → {Promises.<CipherOpt>}
Create a new symmetric cipher
- Source:
Example
// Assumes SAFEApp interface has been obtained
const asyncFn = async () => {
const cipherOpt = await app.cipherOpt.newSymmetric();
const immdWriter = await app.immutableData.create();
await idWriter.write('Data for my eyes only.');
const idAddress = await idWriter.close(cipherOpt);
