How to Encrypt / Decrypt with AES in Node.JS

Easy as pie! var crypto = require('crypto'); var AES128 = "aes128"; var AES192 = "aes192"; var AES256 = "aes256"; var password = 'Austin'; var plainText = 'Texas to the bone!'; // ------------------------------------------------ var cipher = crypto.createCipher(AES128, password); var decipher = crypto.createDecipher(AES128, password); console.log('AES-128:'); // Encrypting with AES128 var encText = cipher.update(
