An ML-KEM/CRYSTALS-KYBER implementation written in TypeScript for various JavaScript runtimes
npm install crystals-kyber-jsThis module is based on
ntontutoveanu/crystals-kyber-javascript,
but includes the following improvements:
- ✅ Written in TypeScript.
- ✅ Available on various JavaScript runtimes: Browsers, Node.js, Deno,
Cloudflare Workers, etc.
- ✅ Deterministic key generation support.
- ✅ Constant-time validation for ciphertext.
- ✅ Better performance: 1.4 to 1.8 times faster than the original
implementation.
- ✅ No dependencies on other libraries.
- ✅ Tree-shaking friendly.
- ✅ Fix KyberSlash vulnerability.
- ✅ ML-KEM (NIST FIPS 203)
support.
- ✅ Passed all the tests published by:
- post-quantum-cryptography/KAT/MLKEM
- C2SP/CCTV/ML-KEM
- pq-crystals/kyber (10000
consecutive tests)
This repository has the following packages:
| package | registry | description |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| crystals-kyber-js |  | v1.x implements CRYSTALS-KYBER, and v2.x- implements ML-KEM (NIST FIPS 203). crystals-kyber-js may become deprecated in the near future. Instead, we recommend switching to the following mlkem or @dajiaji/mlkem. |
| mlkem |  | Implements only ML-KEM (NIST FIPS 203). It is an alias for the above crystals-kyber-js starting from v2 onwards. We recommend using this package going forward. |
| @dajiaji/mlkem |  | Implements only ML-KEM (NIST FIPS 203). It is an ML-KEM package for jsr.io. The above mlkem is an npm package of @dajiaji/mlkem, which has been converted using @deno/dnt. |
For Node.js, you can install mlkem or crystals-kyber-js via npm, yarn or
pnpm:
``shmlkemRECOMMENTED using
crystals-kyber-js
npm install mlkem is still available for use, but it may become deprecated in the near future.`
npm install crystals-kyber-js
Then, you can use it as follows:
`ts
import { MlKem768 } from "mlkem"; // or from "crystals-kyber-js"
async function doMlKem() {
// A recipient generates a key pair.
const recipient = new MlKem768(); // MlKem512 and MlKem1024 are also available.
const [pkR, skR] = await recipient.generateKeyPair();
//// Deterministic key generation is also supported
// const seed = new Uint8Array(64);
// globalThis.crypto.getRandomValues(seed); // node >= 19
// const [pkR, skR] = await recipient.deriveKeyPair(seed);
// A sender generates a ciphertext and a shared secret with pkR.
const sender = new MlKem768();
const [ct, ssS] = await sender.encap(pkR);
// The recipient decapsulates the ciphertext and generates the same shared secret with skR.
const ssR = await recipient.decap(ct, skR);
// ssS === ssR
return;
}
try {
doMlKem();
} catch (err: unknown) {
console.log("failed:", (err as Error).message);
}

`sh`Using npm:
npm install mlkem # or crystals-kyber-js
yarn add mlkem # or crystals-kyber-js
pnpm install mlkem # or crystals-kyber-jsUsing jsr:
npx jsr add @dajiaji/mlkem
yarn dlx jsr add @dajiaji/mlkem
pnpm dlx jsr add @dajiaji/mlkem
Starting from version 2.0.0, @dajiaji/mlkem is available from the
jsr.io. From this version onwards, please use JSR import
instead of HTTPS import in Deno.
JSR import (>=2.0.0):
Add @dajiaji/mlkem package using the commands below:
`sh`
deno add @dajiaji/mlkem
Then, you can use the module from code like this:
`ts`
import { MlKem1024, MlKem512, MlKem768 } from "@dajiaji/mlkem";
HTTPS import (deprecated):
`ts`
import {
Kyber1024,
Kyber512,
Kyber768,
} from "https://deno.land/x/crystals_kyber@

npm install mlkem # or crystals-kyber-js
yarn add mlkem # or crystals-kyber-js
pnpm install mlkem # or crystals-kyber-jsUsing jsr:
npx jsr add @dajiaji/mlkem
yarn dlx jsr add @dajiaji/mlkem
pnpm dlx jsr add @dajiaji/mlkem
`ts`
import { MlKem1024, MlKem512, MlKem768 } from "@dajiaji/mlkem";
