A Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) core module for various JavaScript runtimes
Documentation: jsr.io | pages (only for the latest ver.)
Where possible, it is recommended to use @hpke/core along with extension
modules (such as @hpke/chacha20poly1305) instead of hpke-js.
You can install the package with npm, yarn or pnpm.
# Using npm:
npm install @hpke/core
yarn add @hpke/core
pnpm install @hpke/core
# Using jsr:
npx jsr add @hpke/core
yarn dlx jsr add @hpke/core
pnpm dlx jsr add @@hpke/core
The above manner can be used with other JavaScript runtimes that support npm, such as Cloudflare Workers and Bun.
Then, you can use the module from code like this:
import {
Aes128Gcm,
CipherSuite,
DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
HkdfSha256,
} from "@hpke/core";
For Deno, it is recommended to use the jsr.io registry.
deno add jsr:@hpke/core
Followings are how to use this module with typical CDNs. Other CDNs can be used as well.
Using esm.sh:
<!-- use a specific version -->
<script type="module">
import {
Aes128Gcm,
CipherSuite,
DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
HkdfSha256,
} from "https://esm.sh/@hpke/core@<SEMVER>";
// ...
</script>
<!-- use the latest stable version -->
<script type="module">
import {
Aes128Gcm,
CipherSuite,
DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
HkdfSha256,
} from "https://esm.sh/@hpke/core";
// ...
</script>
Using unpkg:
<!-- use a specific version -->
<script type="module">
import * as hpke from "https://unpkg.com/@hpke/core@<SEMVER>/esm/mod.js";
// ...
</script>
This section shows some typical usage examples.
