That's a pretty vague question and the answer is: depends on your usecase. It is very unlikely however you will fulfill your crypto needs with just a bunch of wrapper packages. |

I'm a semi-new programmer building my first REST API using express. The frontend will be a React app. For authentication I have my users get an authentication code from Discord, send it to my backend, and then I use it to get their Discord user ID. Then I use express-sessions to send them a session cookie for other requests that may require privileges.
My question is, do I need to be using the crypto module myself at all? Perhaps for the initial authentication process? Or are the libraries I'm using handling that for me? I would like to have everything run over HTTPS and for the API to send an error for other requests.
I apologize if this isn't the right place for this question, but frankly I'm not sure where else I should ask it. I've spent a couple of hours on google but I wasn't able to find a clear answer.
