I am using the same Vernam Cipher algorithm both on the server side and front to encrypt/decrypt passwords. however I do get the correct value when I decrypt the encrypted password, the encrypted password is not in ASCII (8 bit) characters. I want to encrypt the password only into 8-bit ASCII and then want to send to/from the server but since the output is only a bunch of hexadecimal numbers which i assume are not ASCII, it's becoming difficult for me to send it over the network and save in a database. any help would be appreciated.

const crypto = {



    key: 'catchmeifyoucan', 



    hash: function(string, key) {

        const len = string.length

        let ASCII = undefined; 

        let vernomChar = undefined;    

        let output = '';



        if(this.key.length < string.length) {

            this.key += this.key

        }



        for (let i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {

            ASCII = (string.charCodeAt(i) ^ key.charCodeAt(i))

            vernomChar = String.fromCharCode(ASCII)

            output += vernomChar

        }

        return output

    },



    encrypt: function(string) {

        return this.hash(string, this.key)

    },



    decrypt: function(string) {

        return this.hash(string, this.key)

    }

}



let encrypted = crypto.encrypt('text')

let decrypted = crypto.decrypt(encrypted)





console.log('encrypted',encrypted) // output: <0x17><0X04><0x0c><0x17>

console.log('decrypted',decrypted) // output: text
