This example demonstrates uploading files to Lighthouse, which are encrypted at the user's end while it's getting uploaded. The encryption key is split into five parts using BLS cryptography and stored independently in five nodes.

Method 1: Node JS

import {ethers} from "ethers"
import lighthouse from '@lighthouse-web3/sdk'
import kavach from "@lighthouse-web3/kavach"

const signAuthMessage = async(privateKey) =>{
  const signer = new ethers.Wallet(privateKey)
  const authMessage = await kavach.getAuthMessage(signer.address)
  const signedMessage = await signer.signMessage(authMessage.message)
  const { JWT, error } = await kavach.getJWT(signer.address, signedMessage)
  return(JWT)
}

const uploadEncrypted = async() =>{
  /**
   * This function lets you upload a file to Lighthouse with encryption enabled.
   * 
   * @param {string} path - Location of your file.
   * @param {string} apiKey - Your unique Lighthouse API key.
   * @param {string} publicKey - User's public key for encryption.
   * @param {string} signedMessage - A signed message or JWT used for authentication at encryption nodes.
   * 
   * @return {object} - Returns details of the encrypted uploaded file.
   */
  
  const pathToFile = '/home/cosmos/Desktop/wow.jpg'
  const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
  const publicKey = 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE'
  const signedMessage = await signAuthMessage(privateKey)
  
  const response = await lighthouse.uploadEncrypted(pathToFile, apiKey, publicKey, signedMessage)
  console.log(response)
  /* Sample Response
  {
    data: [
      {
        Name: 'decrypt.js',
        Hash: 'QmeLFQxitPyEeF9XQEEpMot3gfUgsizmXbLha8F5DLH1ta',
        Size: '1198'
      }
    ]
  }
  */
}
