A Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) core module for various JavaScript runtimes
@hpke/core
A TypeScript Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) core module implemented using only Web Cryptography API. It does not support the X25519/X448-based KEMs and the ChaCha20Poly1305 AEAD, but it has no external module dependencies. It's small in size and tree-shaking friendly.
