cryptils

Utilities around Spectre / Master Password Algorithm (by Maarten Billemont), implemented in TypeScript, using Noble & Scure cryptography by @paulmillr. Used for deriving stateless accounts & passwords, 2fa, shamir secret sharing, crypto/bitcoin/nostr public and private keys, and more.

Highlights

• Don't store, derive! Derive passwords and keys from a master password and a name
• Cloud-less & storage-less password manager, stateless password derivation
• Uses only audited Noble & Scure cryptography by @paulmillr
• TypeScript implementation of Spectre.app / Master Password Algorithm by Maarten Billemont
• Stateless account & password derivation - no need to store anything
• Stateless wallet/keys derivation for Ethereum, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Vertcoin, Nostr
• Support for splitting the secret key with Shamir Secret Sharing scheme
• AES-256-GCM encrypt/decrypt a private thing using the secret key
• Generate and validate 2FA tokens (HOTP & TOTP)
  • RFC 4226 & RFC 6238
  • support SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 hashing algorithms
  • support different digits lengths, up to 10

Install

npm add cryptils
bun add cryptils
deno add npm:cryptils

Usage

import {
  bech32encode,
  deriveAccount,
  deriveCryptoAccount,
  deriveKeys,
  randomBytes,
  spectreV4,
  splitKeyToShares,
} from 'cryptils';

const usrName = 'wgw';
const passwd = 'secret master password';

// Derive password for `wgw` user on `twitter.com` and `github.com`,
const twitter = deriveAccount(usrName, passwd, 'twitter.com');
const github = deriveAccount(usrName, passwd, 'github.com');

// in addition to above, it uses the generated secret
// to derive crypto keys like ethereum address, bitcoin keys and nostr keys
const crypto_1 = deriveCryptoAccount(usrName, passwd, 'crypto.0');
const crypto_2 = deriveCryptoAccount(usrName, passwd, 'crypto.1');
const { secret: crypto_3_secret, ...crypto_3 } = spectreV4(usrName, passwd, 'crypto.2');

// deriveKeys is used inside `deriveCryptoKeys`, it's standalone function
const crypto_3_keys = deriveKeys(crypto_3_secret);

// Using Shamir Secret Sharing, split the secret into 3 keys and 5 shares
const crypto_3_keys_shares = await splitKeyToShares(crypto_3_secret, 3, 5);

const info = {
  twitter,
  github,
  crypto_1,
  crypto_2,
  crypto_3: { ...crypto_3, keys: crypto_3_keys, shares: crypto_3_keys_shares },
};

console.log();
console.log(JSON.stringify(info, null, 2));
console.log();

const rndSecret = randomBytes(32);
const otherKeys = deriveKeys(rndSecret);
console.log('other keys:', otherKeys);

// create Bitcoin bech32 bc1p address from a public key
const bc1p = bech32encode('bc', otherKeys.pubkey, true);
console.log('bc1p:', bc1p, bc1p === otherKeys.bitcoin);

Example with 2FA OTP

import {
  generateBase32Secret,
  getHotpToken,
  getTokenUri,
  getTotpToken,
  validateHotpToken,
  validateToken,
  validateTotpToken,
} from 'cryptils';
import qrcode from 'qrcode';

const secret = generateBase32Secret();
const token = await getTotpToken(secret);
const valid = await validateTotpToken(secret, token);

console.log({ secret, token, valid });

const hotpToken = await getHotpToken(secret);
console.log({ hotpToken, valid: await validateHotpToken(secret, hotpToken) });

Example with AES-256-GCM

import { decryptWithSecret, encryptWithSecret } from 'cryptils/aes';
import { spectreV4 } from 'cryptils/derive';
import { randomBytes } from 'cryptils/utils';

const account = spectreV4('usrname', 'foo pass bar', 'twt.com');

// or try with random one
const secret = randomBytes(32);

console.log({ account });

const encrypted = await encryptWithSecret(account.pass, account.secret);
const decrypted = await decryptWithSecret(encrypted, account.secret);

console.log({ encrypted, decrypted, same: decrypted === account.pass });
