How to zlib deflate a string in browser

1.8k Views Asked by At

I have in my backend a simple system for encrypting and compressing data.

Backend NodeJS

export const aesEncrypt = (text: string, key: string = ENCRYPTION_KEY) => {
    let iv = randomBytes(IV_LENGTH);
    let cipher = createCipheriv('aes-256-cbc', Buffer.from(key), iv);
    let encrypted = cipher.update(text);
    encrypted = Buffer.concat([encrypted, cipher.final()]);
    return iv.toString('hex') + ':' + encrypted.toString('hex');
}

export const textCompressToBase64Url = (text: string) => {
    return deflateSync(text).toString('base64url')
}

export const packDataForUrl = (data: string, key: string = ENCRYPTION_KEY) => {
    return textCompressToBase64Url(aesEncrypt(data, key))
}

Result string:

I then try to use Pako (port of zlib for browser) in the frontend to deflate before doing a AES decrypt however i keep getting various errors:

export const textDecompressFromBase64Url = (text: string) => {
    //@ts-ignore
    const sanitizedbase64 = text.replace(/_/g, '/').replace(/-/g, '+')
    const testData = convertDataURIToBinary(sanitizedbase64)
    const inflated = inflate(testData).toLocaleString()
    return inflated
}

const convertDataURIToBinary = (base64Data: string) => {
    const raw = window.atob(base64Data);
    const rawLength = raw.length;
    let array = new Uint8Array(new ArrayBuffer(rawLength));
    for (let i = 0; i < rawLength; i++) {
        array[i] = raw.charCodeAt(i);
    }
    return array;
}

If I don't use { raw: true } I get the following which is not usable in my aes function in the inflate method:

I have try to convert this to hex as I do in the backend but it is not working

If I pass the {raw: true} I get the following:

invalid code lengths set

In the backend however i'm able to inflate and decrypt with zlib with no issue:

export const textDecompressFromBase64Url = (text: string) => {
    return inflateSync(Buffer.from(text, 'base64')).toString()
}

export const aesDecrypt = (text: string, key: string = ENCRYPTION_KEY) => {
    let textParts = text.split(':');
    let iv = Buffer.from(textParts.shift(), 'hex');
    let encryptedText = Buffer.from(textParts.join(':'), 'hex');
    let decipher = createDecipheriv('aes-256-cbc', Buffer.from(key), iv);
    let decrypted = decipher.update(encryptedText);
    decrypted = Buffer.concat([decrypted, decipher.final()]);
    return decrypted.toString();
}

From the comments it is said that this is impossible to make it work but here is a working example in nodejs of the full circle:

https://jdoodle.com/ia/s5Y

TIMELINE:

  1. Stringify object
  2. AES encrypt the string + add the IV in front in format of hex string
  3. Deflate the string with zlib and output as base64url
  4. Inflate the string with zlib
  5. Decrypt the string with AES

The issue is using pako I'm not able to execute step 4
