eciesjs

Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme for secp256k1 in TypeScript.

This is the JavaScript/TypeScript version of eciespy with a built-in class-like secp256k1 API, you may go there for detailed documentation and learn the mechanism under the hood.

If you want a WASM version to run directly in browsers, check ecies-wasm.

Install

npm install eciesjs

Quick Start

> import { encrypt, decrypt, PrivateKey } from 'eciesjs'
> const k1 = new PrivateKey()
> const data = Buffer.from('this is a test')
> decrypt(k1.toHex(), encrypt(k1.publicKey.toHex(), data)).toString()
'this is a test'

API

`encrypt(receiverRawPub: string | Buffer, msg: Buffer): Buffer`

Parameters:

receiverRawPub - Receiver's secp256k1 public key, hex string or buffer
msg - Data to encrypt

Returns: Buffer

`decrypt(receiverRawPrv: string | Buffer, msg: Buffer): Buffer`

Parameters:

receiverRawPrv - Receiver's secp256k1 private key, hex string or buffer
msg - Data to decrypt

Returns: Buffer

`PrivateKey`

Methods

static fromHex(hex: string): PrivateKey;
constructor(secret?: Buffer);
toHex(): string;
encapsulate(pub: PublicKey): Buffer;

readonly secret: Buffer;
readonly publicKey: PublicKey;

`PublicKey`

Methods

static fromHex(hex: string): PublicKey;
constructor(buffer: Buffer);
toHex(compressed?: boolean): string;
decapsulate(priv: PrivateKey): Buffer;
