Example Paste

Here is an example of a secure paste (or what would be a secure paste if the key was not publically available in this README file): https://quick-crypt.firebaseapp.com/view/-Knu9OobhmhI4Fuo4YAG. To view and decrypt the paste, click the link and enter the key Don'tPostThisPublically. You should only be able to view the secret message if you enter the correct key.

Encryption Strategy

Encryption using a password has been abstracted to the encrytion.service.ts service. Currently, the service wraps the Stanford encryption library using sjcl.json.encrypt() as a simple encryption solution.

Data Storage Strategy

Since sensitive data in pastes is encrypted, it can be stored publically. As a result, pastes are stored by default in a public firebase. Firebase provides the advantages of free data storage and realtime updates.

Status

This is currently a work-in-progress repository. As a result, it is lacking in testing, documentation, and styling.
