JavaScript Elliptic curve cryptography library for Node.js. This only uses pure JS dependencies to avoid having to compile native modules. If you would prefer native modules, use v3.
- Use Node.js crypto module/library bindings where possible
- Promise and Sync APIs
- Only secp256k1 curve, only SHA-512 (KDF), HMAC-SHA-256 (HMAC) and AES-256-CBC for ECIES
- Compressed key support
ECDH only works in Node 14+. ECDSA only supports keys in PEM format (see nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#6904), and ECIES is not supported at all.
