# Integrating PuzzleMe with CryptoJS: A Step-by-Step Guide

When embedding interactive puzzles from the PuzzleMe platform, ensuring secure and seamless integration is crucial. This article outlines how to utilize the CryptoJS library for hashing user IDs before sending them to the PuzzleMe server. Additionally, it highlights the steps for embedding a puzzle using the JavaScript library provided by Amuse Labs.

## Step 1: Include the CryptoJS Library

To hash user IDs securely, the first step is to include the CryptoJS library in your HTML file. This library is essential for creating secure hash algorithms such as SHA-256, which will be used to anonymize user IDs.

## Step 2: Hashing the User ID

Once the library is included, hash the user ID using a suitable algorithm like SHA-256. This process will convert the user ID into a fixed-length string, ensuring privacy before it is sent to the PuzzleMe server.

“`javascript
function hashUserID(userID) {
return CryptoJS.SHA256(userID).toString();
}
“`

## Step 3: Include the JavaScript Library for Puzzle Embedding

Next, include the PuzzleMe JavaScript library, provided by Amuse Labs, to embed the puzzles on your webpage.

Replace `puzzleme-server-domain` with the actual server domain name provided in your integration instructions.

## Step 4: Specify the Amuse Labs Server and Trigger Embedded Flow

To integrate the puzzle seamlessly, specify the server name and initiate the puzzle embedding process. This configuration will connect your webpage to the PuzzleMe server, enabling the display of interactive content.

var amuseLabsServer = “your-server-name”;
// Initialize embedding
PuzzleMeSDK.embedPuzzle({
server: amuseLabsServer,
handle: “your-puzzle-handle”
});

Ensure that you replace `your-server-name` and `your-puzzle-handle` with the corresponding values for your specific puzzle.

## Step 5: Specify the Puzzle to Embed

Finally, identify which puzzle to embed by setting up the correct parameters. The ‘handle’ is usually a unique identifier for the specific puzzle you wish to display.

PuzzleMeSDK.embedPuzzle({
server: amuseLabsServer,
handle: “your-puzzle-handle”,
container: document.getElementById(‘puzzle-container’)
});

By following these steps, you can successfully integrate PuzzleMe puzzles into your website with secure user ID hashing using the CryptoJS library. The process ensures user privacy and a seamless interactive experience.
