What

The writer's default segment size goes from 1 MiB to 2 MiB, matching the other OpenTDF SDKs. Doc comments are updated to match.

The reader's fallback for manifests that omit an encrypted segment size stays at 1 MiB, because that is what older writers used. tdf.ts now has a comment explaining why the two constants differ.

Why

  • Consistency: the other SDKs already use 2 MiB.
  • Fewer AES-GCM calls: half as many per key for a given payload. That raises the payload size an encryptor can handle before reaching its IV limit. With 2^26 random IVs, the ceiling becomes 128 TiB (see the DSPX-4492 ADR).
  • Smaller manifests: they list half as many segments.

Behavior change

Callers that never set windowSize will write 2 MiB segments, and buffer up to 2 MiB per segment. Callers that set windowSize are unaffected, and existing TDFs read exactly as before.

How to test

cd lib && npm test. The new test "writes 2 MiB segments when no window size is given" checks the manifest values and decrypts the result.

Risk

Moderate, for memory only. Peak memory during writes grows with segment size multiplied by the segment batch and concurrency settings. It's worth checking browser memory on large uploads before release.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The default encryption segment size is now 2 MiB.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage confirming that data encrypted with the default segment size decrypts correctly.

Raise the writer's default segment size from 1 MiB to 2 MiB, to match the
other OpenTDF SDKs. With 2 MiB segments, a payload uses half as many AES-GCM
invocations per key, and the manifest lists half as many segments.

Callers that never set `windowSize` will see the larger segments. Callers
that set it are unaffected. The reader's fallback for manifests that omit an
encrypted segment size stays at 1 MiB, because that is what older writers
used.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The default encryption segment size changes from 1 MiB to 2 MiB. Documentation reflects the new default, and a round-trip test checks segment sizes and decrypted plaintext.

Changes

The encryption default and its documentation now specify 2 MiB. Comments describe the read-side fallback for manifests without encryptedSegmentSizeDefault. A new test checks the default segment sizes and confirms that decryption returns the original plaintext.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a97ee

The default-size change appears mergeable, but a test spanning the 2 MiB boundary would better protect the new behavior before merge.

Exercise the default boundary, not only manifest metadata.

expectedVal is only 11 bytes, so this test encrypts one short final segment. It checks the manifest’s advertised defaults, but not whether the writer splits data at 2 MiB. A segmentation regression that leaves those manifest fields unchanged can pass.

Use 2 MiB + 1 byte of plaintext and assert that the manifest records a full default-sized first segment and a 1-byte second segment.

Suggested fix
+    const plaintext = new Uint8Array(2 * 1024 * 1024 + 1);
     const encryptedStream = await client.encrypt({
...
-          controller.enqueue(new TextEncoder().encode(expectedVal));
+          controller.enqueue(plaintext);
...
-    const { segmentSizeDefault, encryptedSegmentSizeDefault } =
-      encryptedStream.manifest.encryptionInformation.integrityInformation;
+    const integrityInformation =
+      encryptedStream.manifest.encryptionInformation.integrityInformation;
+    const { segmentSizeDefault, encryptedSegmentSizeDefault } = integrityInformation;
     assert.equal(segmentSizeDefault, 2 * 1024 * 1024);
     // 12 byte IV + segment + 16 byte tag.
     assert.equal(encryptedSegmentSizeDefault, 2 * 1024 * 1024 + 28);
+    assert.equal(integrityInformation.segments.length, 2);
+    assert.equal(integrityInformation.segments[0].segmentSize, undefined);
+    assert.equal(integrityInformation.segments[1].segmentSize, 1);
...
-    assert.equal(new TextDecoder().decode(await decryptStream.toBuffer()), expectedVal);
+    assert.deepEqual(new Uint8Array(await decryptStream.toBuffer()), plaintext);
