AES Streaming Mode

[nginnever]

Due to the lack of a streaming mode for AES ciphers in webcrypto we must fallback on a pure js implementation of ciphers. This is slow so this thread is to help track developments on a faster method of encrypting/decrypting in the browser.

😲 streaming is like... a big part of AES... no? Seems like a massive oversight from the implementors of WebCrypto.

Since some algorithms can't support streams they have for now decided that they wont support any algorithms that can and will revisit.

👋 Hey! Thanks for this contribution. Apologies for the delay in responding!

We've decided to rearchitect Storj, so that we can scale better. You can read more about this decision here. This means that we are entirely focused on v3 at the moment, in the storj/storj repository. Our white paper for v3 is coming very, very soon - follow along on the blog and in our Rocketchat.

As this repository is part of the v2 network, we're no longer maintaining this repository. I am going to close this for now. If you have any questions, I encourage you to jump on Rocketchat and ask them there. Thanks!
