Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install node-browserify-aes on Kali Linux.

What is node-browserify-aes

node-browserify-aes is:

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known by its original name Rijndael is an algorithm for the encryption of data established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The algorithm described by AES is a symmetric-key algorithm, meaning the same key is used for both encrypting and decrypting the data. AES is based on a design principle known as a substitution-permutation network, a combination of both substitution and permutation. Unlike its predecessor DES, AES does not use a Feistel network. AES is a variant of Rijndael which has a fixed block size of 128 bits, and a key size of 128, 192, or 256 bits

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
