Minimal, zero-dependency JS implementation of elliptic curve cryptography. Minimal, zero-dependency JS implementation of elliptic curve cryptography.
- Short Weierstrass curve with ECDSA signatures - Short Weierstrass, Edwards, Montgomery curves
- Twisted Edwards curve with EdDSA signatures - ECDSA, EdDSA, Schnorr, BLS signature schemes
- Montgomery curve for ECDH key agreement - ECDH key agreement
- [hash to curve](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve/) algorithms for encoding or hashing an arbitrary string to a point on an elliptic curve
- Auditable, [fast](#speed)
- 🔻 Helps JS bundlers with lack of entry point, ensures small size of your app
- 🔍 Unique tests ensure correctness. Wycheproof vectors included
To keep the package minimal, no curve definitions are provided out-of-box. Use `micro-curve-definitions` module: 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 provides P192, P224, P256, P384, P521, secp256k1, stark, bn254, pasta (pallas/vesta), ed25519, ed448 & bls12-381 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

- hash to curve standard [ed25519](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-ed25519),
- point indistinguishability [bls12-381](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-bls12-381)) with lean UMD builds based on noble-curves. This would improve compatibility & allow having one codebase for everything.
