Warnings and Restrictions

Although this library has been passed the following test vectors, it has not been formally audited.
- RFC9180 official test vectors provided on github.com/cfrg/draft-irtf-cfrg-hpke
- ECDH/X25519/X448 test vectors provided on Project Wycheproof
The upper limit of the AEAD sequence number is further rounded to JavaScript's MAX_SAFE_INTEGER (2^53-1).

Installation

Web Browser

Followings are how to use with typical CDNs. Other CDNs can be used as well.

Using esm.sh:

<!-- use a specific version -->
<script type="module">
  import * as hpke from "https://esm.sh/hpke-js@0.22.2";
  // ...
</script>

<!-- use the latest stable version -->
<script type="module">
  import * as hpke from "https://esm.sh/hpke-js";
  // ...
</script>

Using unpkg:

<!-- use a specific version -->
<script type="module">
  import * as hpke from "https://unpkg.com/hpke-js@0.22.2/esm/mod.js";
  // ...
</script>

Node.js

Using npm:

npm install hpke-js

Using yarn:

yarn add hpke-js

Deno

Using deno.land:

// use a specific version
import * as hpke from "https://deno.land/x/hpke@0.22.2/mod.ts";

// use the latest stable version
import * as hpke from "https://deno.land/x/hpke/mod.ts";

Cloudflare Workers

Downloads a single js file from esm.sh:

curl -sS -o $YOUR_SRC_PATH/hpke.js https://esm.sh/v86/hpke-js@0.22.2/es2022/hpke-js.js
# if you want to use a minified version:
curl -sS -o $YOUR_SRC_PATH/hpke.min.js https://esm.sh/v86/hpke-js@0.22.2/es2022/hpke.min.js

Emits a single js file by using deno bundle:

deno bundle https://deno.land/x/hpke@0.22.2/mod.ts > $YOUR_SRC_PATH/hpke.js
