Pure JavaScript/TypeScript implementation of the X448 elliptic curve (RFC 7748) for ECDH key exchange. Uses the jsbn library for big integer operations.
Using npm:
npm install x448-js
or yarn:
yarn add x448-js
Then include it in your code:
import { getPublicKey, getSharedSecret } from "x448-js";Calculate public key from a provided private key
const privateKey = crypto.randomFillSync(new Uint8Array(56));
const publicKey = getPublicKey(privateKey);The private key can be any random generated Buffer/byte-array of length 56
Calculate shared secret from a locally stored private key and a remote public key
The results are represented as plain number arrays. They can be converted using Buffer.from, or Uint8Array.from.
