Generic example for all curves, shown with secp256k1:
2023-07-18 10:11:24 +03:00
```ts
2023-08-05 01:47:59 +03:00
// import * from '@noble/curves'; // Error: use sub-imports, to ensure small app size
2023-07-18 10:11:24 +03:00
import { secp256k1 } from '@noble/curves/secp256k1'; // ESM and Common.js
// import { secp256k1 } from 'npm:@noble/curves@1.2.0/secp256k1'; // Deno
const priv = secp256k1.utils.randomPrivateKey();
const pub = secp256k1.getPublicKey(priv);
2023-08-05 01:31:41 +03:00
const msg = new Uint8Array(32).fill(1); // message hash (not message) in ecdsa
const sig = secp256k1.sign(msg, priv); // `{prehash: true}` option is available
2023-07-18 10:11:24 +03:00
const isValid = secp256k1.verify(sig, msg, pub) === true;
// hex strings are also supported besides Uint8Arrays:
const privHex = '46c930bc7bb4db7f55da20798697421b98c4175a52c630294d75a84b9c126236';

Default `verify` behavior follows [ZIP215](https://zips.z.cash/zip-0215) and
[can be used in consensus-critical applications](https://hdevalence.ca/blog/2020-10-04-its-25519am).
It has SUF-CMA (strong unforgeability under chosen message attacks).
`zip215: false` option switches verification criteria to strict

## Abstract API
2023-03-16 21:05:33 +03:00
Abstract API allows to define custom curves. All arithmetics is done with JS
bigints over finite fields, which is defined from `modular` sub-module. For
scalar multiplication, we use
[precomputed tables with w-ary non-adjacent form (wNAF)](https://paulmillr.com/posts/noble-secp256k1-fast-ecc/).
Precomputes are enabled for weierstrass and edwards BASE points of a curve. You
could precompute any other point (e.g. for ECDH) using `utils.precompute()`
method: check out examples.

2023-03-16 21:05:33 +03:00
Short Weierstrass curve's formula is `y² = x³ + ax + b`. `weierstrass`
expects arguments `a`, `b`, field `Fp`, curve order `n`, cofactor `h`
2023-02-12 23:37:27 +03:00
and coordinates `Gx`, `Gy` of generator point.
2023-03-16 21:05:33 +03:00
**`k` generation** is done deterministically, following
[RFC6979](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6979). For this you will need
`hmac` & `hash`, which in our implementations is provided by noble-hashes. If
you're using different hashing library, make sure to wrap it in the following interface:
2023-02-12 23:37:27 +03:00
2023-02-13 00:25:22 +03:00
```ts
2023-02-16 01:38:26 +03:00
type CHash = {
2023-02-13 00:25:22 +03:00
(message: Uint8Array): Uint8Array;
blockLen: number;
outputLen: number;
create(): any;
};
```
2023-02-12 23:37:27 +03:00

**Message hash** is expected instead of message itself:
- `.sign(msgHash, privKey)` is default behavior, you need to do `msgHash = hash(msg)` before
- `.sign(msg, privKey, {prehash: true})` if you want the library to handle hashing for you
2023-02-12 23:37:27 +03:00
**Weierstrass points:**
1. Exported as `ProjectivePoint`
2. Represented in projective (homogeneous) coordinates: (x, y, z) ∋ (x=x/z, y=y/z)
3. Use complete exception-free formulas for addition and doubling
2023-03-16 21:05:33 +03:00
4. Can be decoded/encoded from/to Uint8Array / hex strings using
`ProjectivePoint.fromHex` and `ProjectivePoint#toRawBytes()`
2023-02-12 23:37:27 +03:00
5. Have `assertValidity()` which checks for being on-curve
6. Have `toAffine()` and `x` / `y` getters which convert to 2d xy affine coordinates

Twisted Edwards curve's formula is `ax² + y² = 1 + dx²y²`. You must specify `a`, `d`, field `Fp`, order `n`, cofactor `h`
and coordinates `Gx`, `Gy` of generator point.
For EdDSA signatures, `hash` param required. `adjustScalarBytes` which instructs how to change private scalars could be specified.
**Edwards points:**
1. Exported as `ExtendedPoint`
2. Represented in extended coordinates: (x, y, z, t) ∋ (x=x/z, y=y/z)
3. Use complete exception-free formulas for addition and doubling
4. Can be decoded/encoded from/to Uint8Array / hex strings using `ExtendedPoint.fromHex` and `ExtendedPoint#toRawBytes()`
5. Have `assertValidity()` which checks for being on-curve
6. Have `toAffine()` and `x` / `y` getters which convert to 2d xy affine coordinates
7. Have `isTorsionFree()`, `clearCofactor()` and `isSmallOrder()` utilities to handle torsions

### abstract/bls: Barreto-Lynn-Scott curves
2023-04-02 17:38:03 +03:00
2023-04-02 17:42:49 +03:00
The module abstracts BLS (Barreto-Lynn-Scott) pairing-friendly elliptic curve construction.
They allow to construct [zk-SNARKs](https://z.cash/technology/zksnarks/) and
use aggregated, batch-verifiable
[threshold signatures](https://medium.com/snigirev.stepan/bls-signatures-better-than-schnorr-5a7fe30ea716),
using Boneh-Lynn-Shacham signature scheme.
2023-04-02 17:38:03 +03:00
Main methods and properties are:
- `getPublicKey(privateKey)`
- `sign(message, privateKey)`
- `verify(signature, message, publicKey)`
- `aggregatePublicKeys(publicKeys)`
- `aggregateSignatures(signatures)`
- `G1` and `G2` curves containing `CURVE` and `ProjectivePoint`
- `Signature` property with `fromHex`, `toHex` methods
- `fields` containing `Fp`, `Fp2`, `Fp6`, `Fp12`, `Fr`
2023-04-02 17:42:49 +03:00
Right now we only implement BLS12-381 (compatible with ETH and others),
but in theory defining BLS12-377, BLS24 should be straightforward. An example:
```ts
import { bls12_381 as bls } from '@noble/curves/bls12-381';
const privateKey = '67d53f170b908cabb9eb326c3c337762d59289a8fec79f7bc9254b584b73265c';
const message = '64726e3da8';
const publicKey = bls.getPublicKey(privateKey);
const signature = bls.sign(message, privateKey);
const isValid = bls.verify(signature, message, publicKey);
console.log({ publicKey, signature, isValid });
// Sign 1 msg with 3 keys
const privateKeys = [
'18f020b98eb798752a50ed0563b079c125b0db5dd0b1060d1c1b47d4a193e1e4',

];
const messages = ['d2', '0d98', '05caf3'];
const publicKeys = privateKeys.map(bls.getPublicKey);
const signatures2 = privateKeys.map((p) => bls.sign(message, p));
const aggPubKey2 = bls.aggregatePublicKeys(publicKeys);
const aggSignature2 = bls.aggregateSignatures(signatures2);
const isValid2 = bls.verify(aggSignature2, message, aggPubKey2);
console.log({ signatures2, aggSignature2, isValid2 });
// Sign 3 msgs with 3 keys
const signatures3 = privateKeys.map((p, i) => bls.sign(messages[i], p));
const aggSignature3 = bls.aggregateSignatures(signatures3);
const isValid3 = bls.verifyBatch(aggSignature3, messages, publicKeys);
console.log({ publicKeys, signatures3, aggSignature3, isValid3 });
2023-07-11 19:59:40 +03:00
// Pairings, with and without final exponentiation
// bls.pairing(PointG1, PointG2);
// bls.pairing(PointG1, PointG2, false);

### abstract/hash-to-curve: Hashing strings to curve points
2023-02-26 21:05:40 +03:00
The module allows to hash arbitrary strings to elliptic curve points. Implements [hash-to-curve v16](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve-16).
2022-12-31 12:00:29 +03:00
2023-02-26 21:10:50 +03:00
Every curve has exported `hashToCurve` and `encodeToCurve` methods. You should always prefer `hashToCurve` for security:
2023-02-15 02:03:18 +03:00
```ts
import { hashToCurve, encodeToCurve } from '@noble/curves/secp256k1';
import { randomBytes } from '@noble/hashes/utils';
hashToCurve('0102abcd');
2023-02-15 02:06:39 +03:00
console.log(hashToCurve(randomBytes()));
2023-02-15 02:03:18 +03:00
console.log(encodeToCurve(randomBytes()));
2023-02-15 02:08:38 +03:00
import { bls12_381 } from '@noble/curves/bls12-381';
bls12_381.G1.hashToCurve(randomBytes(), { DST: 'another' });
bls12_381.G2.hashToCurve(randomBytes(), { DST: 'custom' });
2023-02-15 02:03:18 +03:00
```
If you need low-level methods from spec:
2023-02-13 00:25:22 +03:00
`expand_message_xmd` [(spec)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve-11#section-5.4.1) produces a uniformly random byte string using a cryptographic hash function H that outputs b bits.
2022-12-31 12:00:29 +03:00
2023-02-26 21:05:40 +03:00
Hash must conform to `CHash` interface (see [weierstrass section](#abstractweierstrass-short-weierstrass-curve)).
2023-02-12 23:37:27 +03:00
```ts
2023-02-15 02:06:39 +03:00
function expand_message_xmd(
msg: Uint8Array,
DST: Uint8Array,
lenInBytes: number,
H: CHash
): Uint8Array;
function expand_message_xof(
msg: Uint8Array,
DST: Uint8Array,
lenInBytes: number,
k: number,
H: CHash
): Uint8Array;
2023-02-12 23:37:27 +03:00
```
2022-12-31 12:00:29 +03:00

### abstract/poseidon: Poseidon hash
Implements [Poseidon](https://www.poseidon-hash.info) ZK-friendly hash.
2023-02-12 23:37:27 +03:00
There are many poseidon variants with different constants.
We don't provide them: you should construct them manually.
2023-03-10 22:18:05 +03:00
Check out [micro-starknet](https://github.com/paulmillr/micro-starknet) package for a proper example.

import { poseidon } from '@noble/curves/abstract/poseidon';
type PoseidonOpts = {
Fp: Field<bigint>;

#### Creating private keys from hashes
2023-02-16 02:12:23 +03:00
Suppose you have `sha256(something)` (e.g. from HMAC) and you want to make a private key from it.
2023-02-16 01:46:43 +03:00
Even though p256 or secp256k1 may have 32-byte private keys,
and sha256 output is also 32-byte, you can't just use it and reduce it modulo `CURVE.n`.
Doing so will make the result key [biased](https://research.kudelskisecurity.com/2020/07/28/the-definitive-guide-to-modulo-bias-and-how-to-avoid-it/).
To avoid the bias, we implement FIPS 186 B.4.1, which allows to take arbitrary
byte array and produce valid scalars / private keys with bias being neglible.
Use [hash-to-curve](#abstracthash-to-curve-hashing-strings-to-curve-points) if you need
hashing to **public keys**; the function in the module instead operates on **private keys**.
```ts
import { p256 } from '@noble/curves/p256';
import { sha256 } from '@noble/hashes/sha256';
import { hkdf } from '@noble/hashes/hkdf';
const someKey = new Uint8Array(32).fill(2); // Needs to actually be random, not .fill(2)
const derived = hkdf(sha256, someKey, undefined, 'application', 40); // 40 bytes
const validPrivateKey = mod.hashToPrivateScalar(derived, p256.CURVE.n);
```

## Security
2023-06-03 15:27:05 +03:00
1. The library has been audited in Feb 2023 by an independent security firm [Trail of Bits](https://www.trailofbits.com):
2023-03-10 03:09:49 +03:00
[PDF](https://github.com/trailofbits/publications/blob/master/reviews/2023-01-ryanshea-noblecurveslibrary-securityreview.pdf).
2023-06-03 15:27:05 +03:00
The audit has been funded by [Ryan Shea](https://www.shea.io). Audit scope was abstract modules `curve`, `hash-to-curve`, `modular`, `poseidon`, `utils`, `weierstrass`, and top-level modules `_shortw_utils` and `secp256k1`. See [changes since audit](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-curves/compare/0.7.3..main).
2023-03-10 03:09:49 +03:00
2. The library has been fuzzed by [Guido Vranken's cryptofuzz](https://github.com/guidovranken/cryptofuzz). You can run the fuzzer by yourself to check it.
3. [Timing attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack) considerations: _JIT-compiler_ and _Garbage Collector_ make "constant time" extremely hard to achieve in a scripting language. Which means _any other JS library can't have constant-timeness_. Even statically typed Rust, a language without GC, [makes it harder to achieve constant-time](https://www.chosenplaintext.ca/open-source/rust-timing-shield/security) for some cases. If your goal is absolute security, don't use any JS lib — including bindings to native ones. Use low-level libraries & languages. Nonetheless we're targetting algorithmic constant time.
2022-12-17 01:12:26 +03:00
2023-02-14 01:32:49 +03:00
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. As for devDependencies used by the library:
- `@scure` base, bip32, bip39 (used in tests), micro-bmark (benchmark), micro-should (testing) are developed by us
and follow the same practices such as: minimal library size, auditability, signed releases
- prettier (linter), fast-check (property-based testing),
typescript versions are locked and rarely updated. Every update is checked with `npm-diff`.
The packages are big, which makes it hard to audit their source code thoroughly and fully.
- They are only used if you clone the git repo and want to add some feature to it. End-users won't use them.
2022-12-17 01:12:26 +03:00
2023-05-26 14:27:41 +03:00
As for key generation, we're deferring to built-in
[crypto.getRandomValues](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Crypto/getRandomValues)
which is considered cryptographically secure (CSPRNG).

## Upgrading
2023-03-21 09:02:07 +03:00
Previously, the library was split into single-feature packages
2023-04-23 21:31:29 +03:00
noble-secp256k1, noble-ed25519 and noble-bls12-381.
Curves continue their original work. The single-feature packages changed their
direction towards providing minimal 4kb implementations of cryptography,
which means they have less features.
2023-03-21 09:02:07 +03:00
2023-04-12 05:10:59 +03:00
Upgrading from @noble/secp256k1 2.0 or @noble/ed25519 2.0: no changes, libraries are compatible.
2023-03-21 09:02:07 +03:00
Upgrading from [@noble/secp256k1](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-secp256k1) 1.7:
- `getPublicKey`
- now produce 33-byte compressed signatures by default
- to use old behavior, which produced 65-byte uncompressed keys, set
argument `isCompressed` to `false`: `getPublicKey(priv, false)`
- `sign`
- is now sync; use `signAsync` for async version
- now returns `Signature` instance with `{ r, s, recovery }` properties
- `canonical` option was renamed to `lowS`
- `recovered` option has been removed because recovery bit is always returned now
- `der` option has been removed. There are 2 options:
1. Use compact encoding: `fromCompact`, `toCompactRawBytes`, `toCompactHex`.
Compact encoding is simply a concatenation of 32-byte r and 32-byte s.
2. If you must use DER encoding, switch to noble-curves (see above).
- `verify`
- `strict` option was renamed to `lowS`
- `getSharedSecret`
- now produce 33-byte compressed signatures by default
- to use old behavior, which produced 65-byte uncompressed keys, set
argument `isCompressed` to `false`: `getSharedSecret(a, b, false)`
- `recoverPublicKey(msg, sig, rec)` was changed to `sig.recoverPublicKey(msg)`
- `number` type for private keys have been removed: use `bigint` instead
- `Point` (2d xy) has been changed to `ProjectivePoint` (3d xyz)
- `utils` were split into `utils` (same api as in noble-curves) and
`etc` (`hmacSha256Sync` and others)
Upgrading from [@noble/ed25519](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-ed25519) 1.7:
- Methods are now sync by default
2023-01-30 07:55:36 +03:00
- `bigint` is no longer allowed in `getPublicKey`, `sign`, `verify`. Reason: ed25519 is LE, can lead to bugs
2023-03-21 09:02:07 +03:00
- `Point` (2d xy) has been changed to `ExtendedPoint` (xyzt)
- `Signature` was removed: just use raw bytes or hex now
- `utils` were split into `utils` (same api as in noble-curves) and
`etc` (`sha512Sync` and others)
- `getSharedSecret` was moved to `x25519` module
2023-04-23 21:31:29 +03:00
- `toX25519` has been moved to `edwardsToMontgomeryPub` and `edwardsToMontgomeryPriv` methods
2022-12-17 01:12:26 +03:00
2023-04-12 05:10:59 +03:00
Upgrading from [@noble/bls12-381](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-bls12-381):
- Methods and classes were renamed:
- PointG1 -> G1.Point, PointG2 -> G2.Point
- PointG2.fromSignature -> Signature.decode, PointG2.toSignature -> Signature.encode
- Fp2 ORDER was corrected
