title: ECIES |
|||
description: Uses ECIES symmetric key negotiation from public keys to encrypt arbitrarily long data streams. |
|||

# ECIES |
|||
|
|||
## Description |
|||
|
|||
Bitcore implements [Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Encryption_Scheme), which is a public key encryption system that performs bulk encryption on data using a symmetric cipher and a random key. |
|||
|
|||
For more information refer to the [bitcore-ecies](https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-ecies) github repo. |
|||
|
|||
## Installation |
|||
|
|||
ECIES is implemented as a separate module and you must add it to your dependencies: |
|||
|
|||
For node projects: |
|||
``` |
|||
npm install bitcore-ecies --save |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
For client-side projects: |
|||
``` |
|||
bower install bitcore-ecies --save |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
## Example |
|||
|
|||
``` |
|||
var bitcore = require('bitcore'); |
|||
var ECIES = require('bitcore-ecies'); |
|||
|
|||
var alicePrivateKey = new bitcore.PrivateKey(); |
|||
var bobPrivateKey = new bitcore.PrivateKey(); |
|||
|
|||
var data = new Buffer('The is a raw data example'); |
|||
|
|||
// Encrypt data |
|||
var cypher1 = ECIES.privateKey(alicePrivateKey).publicKey(bobPrivateKey.publicKey); |
|||
var encrypted = cypher.encrypt(data); |
|||
|
|||
// Decrypt data |
|||
var cypher2 = ECIES.privateKey(bobPrivateKey).publicKey(alicePrivateKey.publicKey); |
|||
var decrypted = cypher.decrypt(encrypted); |
|||
|
|||
assert(data.toString(), decrypted.toString()); |
|||
``` |
