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 🙏

If you are using ES Modules, you can import Ts256k1 like this:

import { Ts256k1 } from '@nyren/ts256k1';

Generating Key Pairs

import { Ts256k1 } from '@nyren/ts256k1';

// Generate a new key pair
const keyPair = Ts256k1.getKeyPairs();
const privateKey = keyPair.secretToHex; // keyPair.secret output Uint8Array
const publicKey = keyPair.publicKey.toHex();

console.log(`Private Key: ${privateKey}`);
console.log(`Public Key: ${publicKey}`);

Encrypting and Decrypting Messages

import { Ts256k1 } from '@nyren/ts256k1';
import { utf8ToBytes, bytesToUtf8 } from '@nyren/ts256k1/utils';

// Create a Ts256k1 instance with your keys
const ts256k1 = new Ts256k1(privateKey, publicKey);

// Encrypt a message
const message = utf8ToBytes('hello, Ts256k1');
const encryptedMessage = ts256k1.encrypt(message);

// Decrypt the message
const decryptedMessage = ts256k1.decrypt(encryptedMessage); // return Uint8Array
console.log(`Decrypted Message: ${bytesToUtf8(decryptedMessage)}`);

Utils bytes

import { bytesToBase64, base64ToBytes } from '@nyren/ts256k1/utils'
const encryptMessage = new Uint8Array[1,2,3,4]
const toBase64 = bytesToBase64(encryptMassage)
const base64To = base64ToBytes(toBase64)
// return Buffer If you want Uint8Array 'new Uint8Array(base64To)': Uint8Array

All imports

import { Ts256k1, PrivateKey, PublicKey } from '@nyren/ts256k1'
import { Service, encrypt, encodeSing, decrypt, decodeSignMessage, verifyMessage } from '@nyren/ts256k1/service'
import { CompressionService, compressData, decompressData, } from '@nyren/ts256k1/service'
//TODO: Data conversion, see below
import utils from '@nyren/ts256k1/utils'

Utilities

The library provides various utilities for encoding and decoding:

  • bytesToHex(bytes: Uint8Array): string
  • hexToBytes(hex: string): Uint8Array
  • bytesToUtf8(bytes: Uint8Array): string
  • utf8ToBytes(utf8: string): Uint8Array
  • bytesToBase64(bytes: Uint8Array): string
  • base64ToBytes(base64: string): Buffer
  • bytesToAscii(bytes: Uint8Array): string
  • asciiToBytes(ascii: string): Buffer
  • bytesToLatin1(bytes: Buffer): string
  • latin1ToBytes(latin1: string): Buffer
  • bytesToUcs2(bytes: Uint8Array): string
  • ucs2ToBytes(ucs2: string): Buffer
  • remove0x(hex: string): string
  • decodeHex(hex: string): Buffer
  • normalizeToUint8Array(data: string | Uint8array): Uint8Array
  • color[colorname: string]: string
  • color[colorname: string].bold: string

Configuration

Configuration files must be written in CommonJS format and saved as .cjs. This ensures compatibility with the library's CommonJS format. The settings you can configure are:

  • hkdfKeyCompressed: A boolean that indicates if the HKDF key should be compressed. (Default: false)
  • ephemeralKeyCompressed: A boolean that indicates if the ephemeral key should be compressed. (Default: false)
  • signature: An object that contains signature options:
    • enabled: A boolean that indicates whether signature functionality is enabled. (Default: true)
    • throwOnInvalid: A boolean that indicates whether an error should be thrown if the signature is invalid. (Default: true)
    • errorMessage: A string specifying the error message to be thrown if the signature is invalid. (Default: "Invalid signature")
    • useLowS: A boolean that indicates whether the signature should use low S. (Default: true)

Example configuration file (ts256k1.config.cjs):

module.exports = {
  hkdfKeyCompressed: false, 
  ephemeralKeyCompressed: false,
  signature: {
    enabled: true,
    throwOnInvalid: true,
    errorMessage: 'Invalid signature',
    useLowS: true
  }
}

Note:

  • On ephemeralKeyCompressed = true, the payload would be: 33 Bytes + Ciphered instead of 65 Bytes + Ciphered.

  • On hkdfKeyCompressed = true, the hkdf key would be derived from ephemeral public key (compressed) + shared public key (compressed) instead of ephemeral public key (uncompressed) + shared public key (uncompressed).

The Ts256k1 class is a simplified interface for generating and managing key pairs, as well as encrypting and decrypting messages. This class extends the functionality of the Service class, inheriting all of its encryption and decryption capabilities.

  • Inheritance: Ts256k1 extends Service, which means all methods available in Service (like encrypt, decrypt, and equals) are also available in Ts256k1.

Methods:

  • static getKeyPairs(secret?: Uint8Array): PrivateKey
    • Generates a new private and public key pair.
    • Parameters:

Message Signing and Verification

Our encryption process includes an additional layer of security by signing the encrypted data using the sender’s private key. When decrypting, the signature is verified using the sender’s public key to ensure the data has not been tampered with. This ensures both message integrity and authenticity.

About

Ts256k1 is a lightweight and secure library built on top of the Noble cryptography libraries. It focuses on providing a pure TypeScript implementation for working with the secp256k1 elliptic curve. The core cryptographic functions in Ts256k1 are based on the high-security primitives provided by Noble libraries:

These libraries are designed with performance and security in mind, following best practices for elliptic curve cryptography and encryption schemes like xchacha20poly1305. Noble libraries are written in TypeScript, ensuring type safety and reducing the potential for vulnerabilities often introduced by low-level languages or complex native dependencies.

Security

Ts256k1 inherits its cryptographic strength from the Noble libraries, which implement safe and audited cryptographic algorithms. Here's why you can trust this library:

  • Pure TypeScript: No native dependencies, which reduces the risk of supply chain attacks or vulnerabilities introduced by compiled code.
  • Well-audited algorithms: Noble libraries follow modern cryptographic standards and practices, making use of secure, constant-time operations to prevent timing attacks.
  • Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC): Uses the widely recognized secp256k1 curve, the same curve used in Bitcoin and other blockchain technologies, which is known for its strong security properties.
  • Encryption: The library uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 for encryption, a secure AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) cipher that provides both confidentiality and integrity.

We encourage all users to follow best security practices when handling private keys and sensitive information. Always validate your inputs and keep your dependencies up to date to benefit from the latest security patches.
