### Supply chain security
1. Commits are signed with PGP keys, to prevent forgery. Make sure to verify commit signatures.
2. Releases are [transparently built](https://docs.npmjs.com/generating-provenance-statements)
on GitHub CI. Make sure to verify provenance logs.
3. Releasing itself is rare, on purpose.
The less often package is updated, the less code dependents would need to audit.
4. Dependency count is minimal and updates are rare:
a. All deps are prevented from automatic updates and have locked-down version ranges. Every update is checked with `npm-diff`
b. Dependency updates are rare, to ensure rogue updates are not catched accidentally
c. One dependency [noble-hashes](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-hashes) is used, by the same author,
to provide hashing functionality.

5. devDependencies are only used if you want to contribute to the repo. They are disabled for end-users:
a. scure-base, scure-bip32, scure-bip39, micro-bmark and micro-should are
developed the same author and follow the same security practices.
b. prettier (linter), fast-check (property-based testing) and typescript
are used for code quality, vector generation and ts compilation.
The packages are big, which makes it hard to audit their source code thoroughly and fully.

We consider infrastructure attacks like rogue NPM modules very important;
that's why it's crucial to minimize the amount of 3rd-party dependencies & native bindings.
If your app uses 500 dependencies, any dep could get hacked and you'll be
downloading malware with every `npm install`. Our goal is to minimize this attack vector.

If you see anything unusual: investigate and report.
