convert salt to Buffer instance before encrypting#2950
Merged
Conversation
Previously, if a `salt` option was supplied it would be passed to `pbkdf2Sync`/`scrypt` as a string, but during decryption it was always converted to a Buffer instance such that supplying a `salt` option resulted in output that could not be decrypted. This commit fixes the bug, and also makes encrypted output match up with the output of other wallet libraries, e.g. `ethers`, whenever the equivalent encryption options are used consistently across libraries.
