Incorrect UTF-8 decoding about aes-js HOT 2 OPEN

Yes, I believe you are correct. I will be removing the UTF8 utilities in the next version of this library (soon, I hope) and recommending one of my other libraries for UTF8 coding, @ethersproject/strings (you can use the toUtf8Bytes and toUtf8String functions), which is far more robust.

I’ll pin this issue too, once I get to the coffee shop to work for the day. :)

Thanks!

I was able to fix this by just using TextEncoder / Decoder standard ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextEncoder ):

var textBytes = new TextEncoder().encode(text);
var decryptedText = new TextDecoder().decode(decryptedBytes);

There is also a polyfill in case you may want to add support for IE (linked from Mozilla):

I would like to ask if you, as the developer of AESJS deem this kind of use safe for your script.
Thanks.
