eciesjs


Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme for secp256k1 in TypeScript.

This is the JavaScript/TypeScript version of eciespy with a built-in class-like secp256k1 API, you may go there for detailed documentation and learn the mechanism under the hood.

If you want a WASM version to run directly in browsers, check ecies-wasm.

Install

``bash
npm install eciesjs
`

Quick Start

`typescript
> import { encrypt, decrypt, PrivateKey } from 'eciesjs'
> const k1 = new PrivateKey()
> const data = Buffer.from('this is a test')
> decrypt(k1.toHex(), encrypt(k1.publicKey.toHex(), data)).toString()
'this is a test'
`
