@se-oss/sha256

A lightweight JavaScript library that provides utilities for SHA-256 and HMAC-SHA-256 hashing. This library is designed to work seamlessly in any JavaScript runtime, offering efficient and straightforward functions for cryptographic hashing.

[!WARNING]

This library is noticeably slower than native modules such as node:crypto and WebCrypto. Use this library only when you cannot use WebCrypto because its operations are asynchronous and node:crypto is not available.

📦 Installation

npm i @se-oss/sha256

📖 Usage

import { hmacSha256, sha256, timeSafeCompare } from '@se-oss/sha256';

// Hashing a string
const hash = sha256('Hello, world!');
console.log(hash);

// Hashing a Uint8Array
const data = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
const hash2 = sha256(data);
console.log(hash2);

// HMAC with a string key and message
const key = 'my-secret-key';
const message = 'Hello, HMAC!';
const hmac = hmacSha256(key, message);
console.log(hmac);

// HMAC with a Uint8Array key and message
const keyArray = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
const hmac2 = hmacSha256(keyArray, 'Hello, HMAC!');
console.log(hmac2);

const result = timeSafeCompare('hello', 'hello');
console.log(result); // true

const result2 = timeSafeCompare('hello', 'world');
console.log(result2); // false
