I spent 8 days understanding this. You'll learn it in 12 min | Encryption in Node JS

In this video, I will walk you through the process of properly encrypting and decrypting data server-side using Node.js. We'll start by discussing the critical differences between encryption at rest and encryption in transit, explaining why both are essential for comprehensive security. I'll demonstrate the use of the Node.js crypto library, including how to correctly implement encryption and decryption functions. We'll cover best practices such as the generation and use of salts, initialization vectors (IVs), and how to securely store them. To highlight common pitfalls, I'll first show a flawed implementation that could compromise security, explaining why it fails, before guiding you through a correct and secure project structure. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of how to implement robust encryption in your Node.js applications.
