how do I initialize an encrypted variable?

[jdelabea...@gmail.com]

Using crypto.stanford.edu/sjcl/sjcl.js, I encrypt some plain text with a password.

The encrypted data, when shown by its toString method (I suppose), is externalized as a string like

{"iv":"H6V2RJhNp0 ….. ,"ct":"MLCr2tg01DNDeEN97mEpYRg0S3X0SjH7rZ5KlUmuw1M"}

Later, I want to initialize a javascript variable with that externalized string:

var unclear = eval("({"iv":"H6V2RJhNp0 ….. ,"ct":"MLCr2tg01DNDeEN97mEpYRg0S3X0SjH7rZ5KlUmuw1M"})");

When I try to decrypt that variable (with the same password of course), I get the error

sjcl.js:40 TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'a.replace(/\s/g,"")')

Any help who be appreciated.

If you are just using the simplified API of sjcl.encrypt and sjcl.decrypt, there is no need to eval or otherwise break up the string you get from sjcl.encrypt.  You can just treat it as an opaque string, to later pass on to sjcl.decrypt
