Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

crypto

Cryptography primitives used throughout the HeliosLang codebase:

  • bech32
  • blake2b
  • ECDSASecp256k1
  • Ed25519
  • hmac
  • hmacDrbg
  • keccak_256
  • pbkdf2
  • sha2_256
  • sha2_512
  • sha3_256
  • SchnorrSecp256k1

Advantages of this library:

  • No dependencies (not even on the SubtleCrypto/NodeJSCrypto builtins for sha2 hashing)
  • Each implementation has been chosen to be as easy to audit as possible (sometimes compromising algorithm speed)

Disadvantage of this library:

  • Not the fastest (but mostly good enough)

Timing attack resistance

Note: other side-channel attacks might be possible, but this library is not intended to be used in any other environments than browsers and servers.

Signatures

Any method involving private keys should be resistant to timing attacks. Although no special effort was made to make any of this library constant time, the calculation time of elliptic signing algorithms are dominated by the point multiplication using a private random number k used in the first part of each signature (Ed25519, ECDSASecp256k1 and SchnorrSecp256k1). The unpredictable amount of time needed for the first part of the signature, it is impossible to determine the time needed for the multiplication involving the private key in the second part of each signature. So even we are able to time the signing without any noise, we wouldn't be able to find out anything about the private key.

Zero-knowledge
