generate key "Invalid key length"

[Paul75]

Hello,

When I generate key I see error : "Invalid key length"

I do for exemple :

export const MyEncryptionTransformerConfig = {
    key: Buffer.from(env.app.crypto.key, 'utf8').toString('base64'),
    algorithm: env.app.crypto.algorithm,
    ivLength: 16,
};

In env I add :
env.app.crypto.key = nCM*R$izc*G3vqg7jo086mbc9Rg^7NYl

Thanks

Helllo,

Ok I see thant must generate key like :

const Crypto = require('crypto');
           return Crypto.randomBytes(32)
               .toString('hex')
               ;

Thanks

@Paul75 there are a lot of ways to generate keys...

• https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/man1/openssl-rand.html
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40277918/shell-script-to-generate-random-hex-numbers

Perhaps we should add this to the README.
