Project Details

Node.js is designed to build scalable network applications. Is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside the browser. Node.js allows the creation of Web servers and networking tools using JavaScript and a collection of "modules" that handle various core functionality.

Take a look at their page and their Crowdin project.

Translation Overview

I continued translating part of the "Crypto Module Methods and Properties". The sections I translated are: "Create Cipher IV", "Create Credentials", "Create Decipher", “Create Decipher IV”, “Create Diffie Hellman”, “Create ECDH”, “Create Hash”, “Create HMAC”, “Create Sign”, “Create Verify”, “Get Ciphers”, “Get Curves”, “Get Diffie Hellman”, “Get Fips” and "Get Hashes".

An interesting concept is PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2). In cryptography, PBKDF1 and PBKDF2 are key derivation functions with a sliding computational cost, aimed to reduce the vulnerability of encrypted keys to brute force attacks.
PBKDF2 applies a pseudorandom function, such as hash-based message authentication code (HMAC), to the input password or passphrase along with a salt value and repeats the process many times to produce a derived key, which can then be used as a cryptographic key in subsequent operations.
