# sytelus/CryptoJS

This is unmodified copy of Google Code hosted CryptoJS project. CryptoJS is a growing collection of standard and secure cryptographic algorithms implemented in JavaScript using best practices and patterns. They are fast, and they have a consistent and simple interface.

## What it is
CryptoJS is a JavaScript collection of standard cryptographic algorithms such as MD5, SHA-3, and AES, with a consistent and simple interface. This repository is an unmodified mirror of the original Google Code project, packaged for Bower distribution.

## Use cases
- hash a string with md5 or sha-3 in javascript
- encrypt and decrypt data in the browser
- compute file integrity checksums in a web app
- encode and decode base64 or utf-8 strings in javascript
- add cryptographic algorithms to a frontend project via bower

## When to choose
- you need well-known hash or cipher algorithms in pure JavaScript with no dependencies
- you want a simple, consistent API for hashing and encoding in the browser

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained crypto with modern security audits - the upstream project is no longer developed
- you need collision-resistant hashing for signatures or certificates (e.g., MD5 is unsuitable)
- you are on a platform with native WebCrypto available, which is faster and more secure

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cryptography, serialization
- domain: security, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: hashing, encryption, md5, sha, aes, encoding, bower, nodejs, javascript
