Implementation of searchable encryption using a blind index in NodeJS.

Blind indexing is an approach to securely search encrypted data with minimal information leakage. All the personally identifiable information is encrypted and stored in a database/data store. The database is not accessible to the user. The user can only search for the data using the encrypted search query. Blind index implements encryption at rest.

Requirements

1. Node

Installation

1. Clone repository
2. cd node-encryption
3. npm install
4. npm run generate:data - Encrypts all the plain data and stores it in a json file for usage.
5. npm run start - To start the server.

Testing

• Get all the records

curl http://localhost:3000/records

• Find by bvn (Change 12345678 to a valid bvn)

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"bvn\":\"12345678\"}" http://localhost:3000/records/find-by-bvn

Please note all the records here are dummy data and this project was created to illustrate blind indexing in NodeJS.
