[WB27] - Function to encrypt string in browser code

I can't find any WEBDEV function to encrypt one string in browser code.
Anyone know how to do it in WEBDEV?

Hi Paulo,
but would a Browser encrypt function be safe?
Most modern encrypt implementations that I have found - for js - use node.js.
So the safe thing to do is let WEBDEV Server code take care of the encrypt/decrypt and pass it to the Browser.

One of the requirements from our client is to have in memory encription for some type of data.
I can do it using one AJAX procedure but it would be nice if we can reduce the number of calls to the server.

Hie Paulo,

here the answer from my new friend "chat gpt"

Here is an example of a simple function that can be used to encrypt a string in browser code using the JavaScript CryptoJS library:

function encrypt(message, key) {
var encrypted = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(message, key);
return encrypted.toString();
}


To use this function, you will need to include the CryptoJS library in your HTML file by adding a script tag to your HTML code.

Here is an example of how you could use the encrypt function:

var message = "Hello, World!";
var key = "secret key";
var encrypted = encrypt(message, key);
console.log(encrypted); // output: "U2FsdGVkX1/pZ8VOAe+6OZTzFvQ2UWx6UzhM6UyO6Kk="
