Classify

About Classify

Classify is an open source API for encrypting and decrypting text messages, implemented in TypeScript. It uses a one-time pad method, applying an exclusive OR operation between the ASCII codes of the message and a secret key. The API exposes endpoints for encrypting data, decrypting data, and generating keys, with configurable key length and character options.

The API applies double encryption: after a message is encrypted with the user-supplied key, the result is encrypted again with a secret key defined in the server's environment configuration. Each deployed instance therefore uses its own built-in key, and encrypted messages from one instance cannot be decrypted by another instance.

The project can be run locally via npm or deployed with Docker, and includes a test suite. It is intended for developers who want to build their own applications on top of a simple encryption/decryption API. The repository has been archived by its owner and is now read-only, though it also mentions a Telegram bot built on the same functionality.
