data-encryption

data-encryption is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 36 tokens per session (608 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An encryption guide for protecting stored data, data sent between systems, and messages shared end to end. It covers AES and RSA encryption, TLS connections, and managing the keys that unlock encrypted data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to encrypt database records and files, secure network communication, protect passwords, and build end-to-end encrypted features.
Why use it?
It helps prevent sensitive information from being read if storage, networks, or communications are exposed. It also helps avoid unsafe handling of encryption keys and passwords.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

data-encryption scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/security-checklist.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Data Encryption

Table of Contents

Overview

Implement robust encryption strategies for protecting sensitive data at rest and in transit using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms and key management practices.

When to Use

  • Sensitive data storage
  • Database encryption
  • File encryption
  • Communication security
  • Compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
  • Password storage
  • End-to-end encryption

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

// encryption-service.js
const crypto = require("crypto");
const fs = require("fs").promises;

class EncryptionService {
  constructor() {
    // AES-256-GCM for symmetric encryption
    this.algorithm = "aes-256-gcm";
    this.keyLength = 32; // 256 bits
    this.ivLength = 16; // 128 bits
    this.saltLength = 64;
    this.tagLength = 16;
  }

  /**
   * Generate a cryptographically secure random key
   */
  generateKey() {
    return crypto.randomBytes(this.keyLength);
  }

  /**
   * Derive a key from a password using PBKDF2
   */
  async deriveKey(password, salt = null) {
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Use AES-256-GCM for symmetric encryption
  • Use RSA-4096 or ECC for asymmetric encryption
  • Implement proper key rotation
  • Use secure key storage (HSM, KMS)
  • Salt and hash passwords
  • Use TLS 1.2+ for transit encryption
  • Implement key derivation (PBKDF2, Argon2)
  • Use authenticated encryption

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

data-encryption is a skill published in the GitHub repository aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts (338 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 608 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
