BIP38 is a standard process to encrypt Bitcoin and crypto currency private keys that is less susceptible to brute force attacks thus protecting the user.
BIP38 is a JavaScript component that implements the BIP38 standard for encrypting Bitcoin and cryptocurrency private keys in a way that resists brute force attacks. Built for both Node.js and browser environments via Browserify, it provides encrypt and decrypt functions that adhere to the official BIP38 specification and uses the scrypt key derivation function for enhanced security. The project is part of the CryptocoinJS ecosystem and is distributed under the MIT license.
