addSymEncKey()

addSymEncKey(args): Promise<string>

Adds a SymEncKey for this session, which allows to retrieve the session without being a recipient, and/or to self-add to the session.

You must pass either a password, or both a rawSecret and rawSymKey.

Returns the id of the newly added SymEncKey.

Parameters

args

args.password?: string

Optional. Derived automatically to a rawSecret and a rawSymKey.

args.rawSecret?: string

Optional. For advanced use. Set a SymEncKey secret manually. Do not use both rawSecret and password, as password is automatically derived into rawSecret.

args.rawSymKey?: string

Optional. For advanced use. Set a SymEncKey raw Symmetric key manually. Do not use both rawSymKey and password, as password is automatically derived into rawSymKey. MUST be 512 bits (64 bytes) of cryptographically secure random, encoded as Base64.

args.rights?: UserRights

Optional. Rights to assign to this SymEncKey. Defaults to { read: true, forward: true, revoke: false }.

Returns

Promise<string>


addTmrAccess()

addTmrAccess(tmrRecipient): Promise<string>

Add a 2-man-rule Access to an existing EncryptionSession

Returns the id of the newly added TmrAccess.

Parameters

tmrRecipient: TmrRecipientWithRights

Returns

Promise<string>


changeRecipientsRights()

changeRecipientsRights(recipients, opts?): Promise<void>

Change rights for recipients. These recipients must already be allowed on this session. You can add rights by setting them to true, remove rights by setting them to false. Unspecified rights will be left unchanged. To add a right, you must have the right in question plus the forward right. To remove a right, you must have the revoke right.

Parameters

recipients: RecipientsWithRights

opts?

opts.allowUnregisteredUsers?: boolean

Optional. Whether or not to allow non-seald, unregistered recipients. Defaults to false.

Returns

Promise<void>


changeSymEncKeyRights()

changeSymEncKeyRights(symEncKeyId, rights): Promise<void>

Change rights for a SymEncKey. You can add rights by setting them to true, remove rights by setting them to false. Unspecified rights will be left unchanged. To add a right, you must have the right in question plus the forward right. To remove a right, you must have the revoke right.

Parameters

symEncKeyId: string

Returns

Promise<void>

serialize()

serialize(): string

Serialize session to a string. This is for advanced use. May be used to keep sessions in a cache. WARNING: a user could use this cache to work around being revoked. Use with caution. WARNING: if the cache is accessible to another user, they could use it to decrypt messages they are not supposed to have access to. Make sure only the current user in question can access this cache, for example by encrypting it.

Returns

setManagingGroup()

setManagingGroup(groupId, user?): Promise<object>

DEPRECATED: assign revoke rights to the group instead.

Give the rights to manage this session with the same rights as the given user to anyone belonging to given group. A common way to use this, and the default, is to set user = group : this allows any member of the group to act as the owner of the group's MessageAccess

Warning : this can only be done by the user who created the session. If it is done by anyone else, the behavior is not guaranteed. Also, this will only have the expected behavior if the group is the only direct recipient of the session, which means that, during session creation, the group was the only recipient listed, and that encryptForSelf was set to false.

Parameters

groupId: string

user?: Recipients

Must be one of your descendants, possibly the group itself. Defaults to the group

Returns

Promise<object>

status

status: "ok"

Deprecated
