@ -4,13 +4,18 @@ Minimal, zero-dependency JS implementation of elliptic curve cryptography.
Implements Short Weierstrass curves with ECDSA signature scheme.
To keep the package minimal, no curve definitions are provided out-of-box.
Main reason for that is the fact hashing library is usually required for full functionality. Use separate package that defines popular curves: `micro-curve-definitions` for P192, P224, P256, P384, P521, secp256k1, stark curve, bn254, pasta (pallas/vesta) - it depends on `@noble/hashes`.
To keep the package minimal, no curve definitions are provided out-of-box. Use `micro-curve-definitions` module:
- It provides P192, P224, P256, P384, P521, secp256k1, stark curve, bn254, pasta (pallas/vesta) short weierstrass curves
- It also provides ed25519 and ed448 twisted edwards curves
- Main reason for separate package is the fact hashing library (like `@noble/hashes`) is required for full functionality
- We may reconsider merging packages in future, when a stable version would be ready
Future plans:
- Edwards, Twisted Edwards & Montgomery curves
- Edwards and Montgomery curves
- hash-to-curve standard
- point indistinguishability
- pairings
