node-rijndael
A native binding to mcrypt's rijndael encryption with a block size of 256 bits. This allows for the encryption and decryption of data generated by Drupal, which uses rijndael-256, despite the AES standard of rijndael-128.
This module enables interfacing between PHP and Node.js, especially where third-party frameworks like Drupal are involved. Drupal uses rijndael-256 by default, and OPENSSL has no support for any block-size of rijndael apart from 128.
Installation
You will need a development version of libmcrypt installed on your system to build node-rijndael.
# for debian derivatives
$ [sudo] apt-get install libmcrypt-dev
# for red hat derivatives
$ [sudo] yum install libmcrypt-devel
# for arch linux
$ [sudo] pacman -S libmcryptN.B. if installing node-rijndael fails with an error regarding a "libmcrypt.h" header, this is why.
If you know how to package an external library with a Node Addon, consider submitting a pull request.
npm
$ npm install node-rijndaelgithub
$ git clone https://github.com/skeggse/node-rijndael.gitExample
A functional example demonstrating PHP and Node compatibility is available in the examples/ directory. A demonstration of the two in a commmand-line example:
$ node
> var key = new Buffer('theonetruesecretkeytorulethemall', 'utf-8').toString('base64');
> var iv = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('base64');
> iv // we'll use this as the initialization vector for both tests
'UsKguldtsuLm/KrtnctisA=='
> var rijndael = require('./examples/rijndael');
> var plaintext = 'hello, world!';
> var ciphertext = rijndael.encrypt(plaintext, key, iv);
> ciphertext
'50yvJtooiLHUOAbniGgMHmZE18Op99Rhe+Y+G6AjPzM='
> var plaintext = rijndael.decrypt(ciphertext, key, iv);
> plaintext
'hello, world!'The only changes you'll generally need to make from the example Node implementation are to add the correct padding, as you may need to use PKCS #5 padding or something similar to be compatible with your specific PHP code.
API
As of 0.1.0, node-rijndael will coerce strings into buffers. As of 0.2.0, node-rijndael pads keys and allows key lengths of 16, 24 and 32 bytes.
new Rijndael(key, [options])
The constructor creates a Rijndael object bound to a specific key, with methods for encrypting and decrypting.
The provided key can be either a Buffer or a string, and if a string is provided, the encoding option will be passed to the Buffer constructor.
Options
{
// the key's encoding (defaults to "binary", but ignored if the key is a buffer)
"encoding": "binary",
// the block cipher mode (defaults to Rijndael.MCRYPT_MODE_ECB)
"mode": Rijndael.MCRYPT_MODE_ECB,
// the initialization vector (defaults to null, and uses encoding if provided string)
"iv": null
}Supported Modes
Rijndael.MCRYPT_MODE_ECB
Rijndael.MCRYPT_MODE_CBC
Rijndael.MCRYPT_MODE_CFB
Rijndael.MCRYPT_MODE_OFB
Rijndael.MCRYPT_MODE_NOFB
Rijndael.MCRYPT_MODE_STREAMRijndael#encrypt(plaintext, [input_encoding, [output_encoding]])
Encrypt the provided plaintext with the bound key, and return the encrypted ciphertext. encrypt will return a Buffer by default.
May throw an error if unsupported options provided. Most of the checking should happen in the constructor.
Rijndael#decrypt(ciphertext, [input_encoding, [output_encoding]])
Decrypt the provided ciphertext with the bound key, and return the decrypted plaintext. decrypt will return a Buffer by default.
May throw an error if unsupported options provided. Most of the checking should happen in the constructor.
TODO
A bit more functionality now, needs tests.

It looks like @tugrul put together a more complete set of bindings for libmcrypt, called node-mcrypt. This module is specifically for rijndael-256. I will not comment on the quality of the bindings.
