Advanced tools
In io.js or node >= 0.11 this module is just a shortcut to crypto.createECDH. In node <= 0.11 or the browser this is a pure JavaScript implimentation, more specifically a wrapper around elliptic, to give it the same API as node. secp256k1, secp224r1 (aka p-224), prime256v1 (aka p-256, secp256r1), prime192v1 (aka p-192, secp192r1) curves all work in both this library and node (though only the highlighted name will work in node).
Elliptic is a package that provides a general implementation of elliptic curve cryptography, including ECDH. It offers more comprehensive functionality for elliptic curve operations compared to create-ecdh.
Node-forge is a package that includes a wide range of cryptographic operations, including ECDH. It is more extensive than create-ecdh, as it covers other cryptographic mechanisms like RSA, MD5, SHA, and more.
Crypto is a built-in Node.js module that provides cryptographic functionality, including ECDH. It is directly integrated into Node.js and does not require additional installation, unlike create-ecdh.
