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 🙏

Readme

CRYSTALS-KYBER JavaScript

CRYSTALS-KYBER is a post-quantum key exchange protocol.

This protocol is used to securely establish symmetric keys between two parties.

This JavaScript implementation is intended for client-side web browser applications and server-side backends in Node.js frameworks.

Most of this code was translated from a Go implementation of Kyber which can be found here.

Original code (written in C) can be found here.

Kyber comes in 512, 768, 1024 security strengths.

This code is the most up to date version based off the NIST PQC Round 3 Submissions.

Functionality

KYBER will securely distribute a 256 bit symmetric key between two parties. To safely transmit data over a channel using the key, an AEAD is advised (such as AES-256-GCM).

The exchange can be visualised below:

Usage

Using Node.js (v16.17.0) or React:

npm install crystals-kyber

Import the module at the top of your js file.

const kyber = require('crystals-kyber');

To use in your code (768 can be replaced with 512 or 1024).

// To generate a public and private key pair (pk, sk)
let pk_sk = kyber.KeyGen768();
let pk = pk_sk[0];
let sk = pk_sk[1];

// To generate a random 256 bit symmetric key (ss) and its encapsulation (c)
let c_ss = kyber.Encrypt768(pk);
let c = c_ss[0];
let ss1 = c_ss[1];

// To decapsulate and obtain the same symmetric key
let ss2 = kyber.Decrypt768(c,sk);

// Test function with KATs
kyber.Test768();

Running Tests

Output from function kyber.Test768() that tests compatibility with the C implementation based on run cases in PQCkemKAT_2400.rsp.
