the key
The @crpdo/key
submodule is an integral component of the crpdo project. This module offers an array of classes tailored for managing keys essential for various cryptographic activities. The crpdo project is a cryptography-focused JavaScript library that effectively employs TweetNaCl, HDKey, and numerous other proven libraries. The @crpdo/key
submodule streamlines key generation, derivation, and management through its simple and intuitive API.
npm install @crpdo/key
const Key = require('@crpdo/key')
// Create a new Key instance with default parameters
const key = new Key()
// Derive a new child key
const childKey = key.derive('child1')
// Sign some data
const signature = key.sign('hello world')
// Verify the signature
const isValid = key.verify('hello world', signature)
// And more...
Key
constructor([options])
Creates a new Key
instance. You can optionally pass in an options object to customize the key generation.
derive(slug, [options], [isChild])
Derives a new key.
ratchet([index], [options])
Derives a new key at the specified index.
sign(data)
Signs the given data.
verify(data, signature, [publicKey])
Verifies the given data against a signature.
encrypt(data, publicKey, nonce, encode)
Encrypts the given data.
decrypt(data, publicKey, nonce, encode)
Decrypts the given data.
HdKey
This class provides similar functionalities as Key
, but is specifically tailored for managing Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) keys.
