# AWS Encryption SDK for JavaScript client for browsers
# AWS Encryption SDK for JavaScript client for the Browser

# @aws-crypto/client-browser

The *client-browser* module includes all of the modules you need to use the AWS Encryption SDK for
the JavaScript web browser.

* decrypt-browser
* encrypt-browser
* kms-keyring-browser
* material-management-browser
* caching-materials-manager-browser
* raw-aes-keyring-browser
* raw-rsa-keyring-browser

For code examples that show you how to these modules to create keyrings and encrypt and decrypt data, install the [example-browser](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-encryption-sdk-javascript/tree/master/modules/example-browser) module.
## install

To install this module, use the npm package manager. For help with installation, see
[https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm).

```sh
npm install @aws-crypto/client-browser
```

## use

```javascript

/* Start by constructing a keyring. We'll create a KMS keyring.
* Specify an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) to be the
* generator key in the keyring. This CMK generates a data key and encrypts it.
* To use the keyring to encrypt data, you need kms:GenerateDataKey permission
* on this CMK. To decrypt, you need kms:Decrypt permission.
*/
const generatorKeyId = 'arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:658956600833:alias/EncryptDecrypt'

/* You can specify additional CMKs for the keyring. The data key that the generator key
* creates is also encrypted by the additional CMKs you specify. To encrypt data,
* you need kms:Encrypt permission on this CMK. To decrypt, you need kms:Decrypt permission.
*/
const keyIds = ['arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:658956600833:key/b3537ef1-d8dc-4780-9f5a-55776cbb2f7f']

/* Create a KMS client provider with your AWS credentials */
const clientProvider = getClient(KMS, {
credentials: {
accessKeyId,
secretAccessKey
}
})

/* Create the KMS keyring */
const keyring = new KmsKeyringBrowser({ clientProvider, generatorKeyId, keyIds })

/* Set an encryption context For more information:
* https://docs.aws.amazon.com/encryption-sdk/latest/developer-guide/concepts.html#encryption-context
*/
const context = {
stage: 'demo',
purpose: 'simple demonstration app',
origin: 'us-west-2'
}

/* Create a string to encrypt */
const plainText = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

/* Encrypt the string using the keyring and the encryption context
* The SDK returns an "encrypted message" that includes the ciphertext,
* the encryption context, and the encrypted data keys.
*/
const { cipherMessage } = await encrypt(keyring, plainText, { encryptionContext: context })

/* Decrypt the ciphertext using the same keyring */
const { clearMessage, messageHeader } = await decrypt(keyring, cipherMessage)

/* Get the encryption context */
const { encryptionContext } = messageHeader

/* Verify that all values in the original encryption context are in the
* current one. (The SDK adds extra values for signing.)
*/
Object
.entries(context)
.forEach(([key, value]) => {
if (encryptionContext[key] !== value) throw new Error('Encryption Context does not match expected values')
})

/* If the encryption context is verified, log the plaintext. */
document.write('</br>Decrypted:' + clearMessage)
console.log(clearMessage)
