# pkcs7 [](http://travis-ci.org/brightcove/pkcs7)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Add and remove pkcs7-style padding.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Getting Started
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install the module with: `npm install pkcs7`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var pkcs7 = require('pkcs7'), encrypted;
|
||
|
|
// pad a buffer!
|
||
|
|
enctcrypted = encrypt(pkcs7.pad(buffer));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// later, you can unpad it:
|
||
|
|
console.log('the secret is out! ' + pkcs7.unpad(decrypt(encrypted)));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install with cli command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
$ npm install -g pkcs7
|
||
|
|
$ pkcs7 --help
|
||
|
|
$ pkcs7 --version
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Documentation
|

PKCS#7 padding a really simple transformation some crytographic algorithms use to ensure the number of input bytes is a multiple of some constant. Here's how it works:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
01 -- if lth mod k = k-1
|
||
|
|
02 02 -- if lth mod k = k-2
|
||
|
|
.
|
||
|
|
.
|
||
|
|
.
|
||
|
|
k k ... k k -- if lth mod k = 0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`k` is the constant value the encryption algorithm wants your input to be a multiple of. This project assumes `k` is *always* sixteen. Not much to it, right? If reading specs is your thing, check out [RFC 5652](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5652).

## Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can run pkcs7 from the command line:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
# pad a string generated by echo and the hex dump the result
|
||
|
|
echo -n "0123456789AB" | pkcs7 | xxd
|
||
|
|
```

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com).
