Data security Stack for TypeScript

Built by CipherStash License Docs Join the community on Discord

What is the stack?

  • Encryption: Field-level encryption for TypeScript apps with searchable encrypted queries, zero-knowledge key management, and first-class ORM support.
  • Secrets: Zero-trust secrets management with end-to-end encryption. Plaintext never leaves your application.

Quick look at the stack in action

Encryption

import { Encryption, encryptedTable, encryptedColumn } from "@cipherstash/stack";

// 1. Define your schema
const users = encryptedTable("users", {
  email: encryptedColumn("email").equality().freeTextSearch(),
});

// 2. Initialize the client
const client = await Encryption({ schemas: [users] });

// 3. Encrypt
const encryptResult = await client.encrypt("secret@example.com", {
  column: users.email,
  table: users,
});
if (encryptResult.failure) {
  // Handle errors your way
}

// 4. Decrypt
const decryptResult = await client.decrypt(encryptResult.data);
if (decryptResult.failure) {
  // Handle errors your way
}
// decryptResult.data => "secret@example.com"

Secrets

import { Secrets } from "@cipherstash/stack";

// 1. Initialize the secrets client
const secrets = new Secrets({ environment: "production" });

// 2. Set a secret with the SDK or the CLI
await secrets.set("DATABASE_URL", "postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db");

// 3. Consume the secret in your application
const secret = await secrets.get("DATABASE_URL");

Install

npm install @cipherstash/stack
# or
yarn add @cipherstash/stack
# or
pnpm add @cipherstash/stack
# or
bun add @cipherstash/stack

Important

You need to opt out of bundling when using @cipherstash/stack. It uses Node.js specific features and requires the native Node.js require. Read more about bundling in the documentation.

Features

Integrations

Use cases

  • Trusted data access: ensure only your end-users can access their sensitive data using identity-bound encryption
  • Sensitive config management: store API keys and database credentials with zero-trust encryption and full audit trails
  • Reduce breach impact: limit the blast radius of exploited vulnerabilities to only the data the affected user can decrypt
