Sessionless

Sessionless is a multi-language implementation of public-key cryptography. It's trying to be like the cordless drill or sewing machine of authentication--a tool everyone can have in their house t o help them make things.

This is the node implementation of the Sessionless protocol--a protocol for providing auth without user data like emails, passwords, or sessions. For examples of various server implementations, please see here.

Usage

Start by installing sessionless-node:

npm i sessionless-node --save

sessionless-node provides both commonjs and esm modules so you can:

const sessionless = require('sessionless-node');

and

import sessionless from 'sessionless-node';

Sessionless-node provides six methods:

• generateKeys(saveKeys, getKeys) - generates a new key pair, and returns them to the caller. saveKeys and getKeys are functions sessionless-node will use to save keys, and get keys for signing.

• getKeys() - calls the getKeys function passed to generateKeys

• sign(message) - signs an arbitrary message with the saved private key

• verifySignature(signature, message, pubKey) - returns true if the passed in public key verifies the signature of the passed in message.

• generateUUID() - generates and returns a new uuid

• associate(primarySignature, primaryMessage, primaryPublicKey, secondarySignature, secondaryMessage, secondaryPublicKey) - a convenience method provided for associating keys together. For more on associating keys check out this section of the dev README.
