@hpke/core

npm JSR
A TypeScript Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) core module implemented using only Web Cryptography API. It does not support the X25519/X448-based KEMs and the ChaCha20Poly1305 AEAD, but it has no external module dependencies. It's small in size and tree-shaking friendly.

Index

Installation

Where possible, it is recommended to use @hpke/core along with extension modules (such as @hpke/chacha20poly1305) instead of hpke-js.

Node.js

You can install the package with npm, yarn or pnpm.

# Using npm:
npm install @hpke/core
yarn add @hpke/core
pnpm install @hpke/core
# Using jsr:
npx jsr add @hpke/core
yarn dlx jsr add @hpke/core
pnpm dlx jsr add @@hpke/core

The above manner can be used with other JavaScript runtimes that support npm, such as Cloudflare Workers and Bun.

Then, you can use the module from code like this:

import {
  Aes128Gcm,
  CipherSuite,
  DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
  HkdfSha256,
} from "@hpke/core";

Deno

For Deno, it is recommended to use the jsr.io registry.

deno add jsr:@hpke/core

Followings are how to use this module with typical CDNs. Other CDNs can be used as well.

Using esm.sh:

<!-- use a specific version -->
<script type="module">
  import {
    Aes128Gcm,
    CipherSuite,
    DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
    HkdfSha256,
  } from "https://esm.sh/@hpke/core@<SEMVER>";
  // ...
</script>

<!-- use the latest stable version -->
<script type="module">
  import {
    Aes128Gcm,
    CipherSuite,
    DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
    HkdfSha256,
  } from "https://esm.sh/@hpke/core";
  // ...
</script>

Using unpkg:

<!-- use a specific version -->
<script type="module">
  import * as hpke from "https://unpkg.com/@hpke/core@<SEMVER>/esm/mod.js";
  // ...
</script>

Usage

This section shows some typical usage examples.

Node.js

import {
  Aes128Gcm,
  CipherSuite,
  DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
  HkdfSha256,
} from "@hpke/core";

async function doHpke() {
  // setup
  const suite = new CipherSuite({
    kem: new DhkemP256HkdfSha256(),
    kdf: new HkdfSha256(),
    aead: new Aes128Gcm(),
  });

  const rkp = await suite.kem.generateKeyPair();

  const sender = await suite.createSenderContext({
    recipientPublicKey: rkp.publicKey,
  });

  const recipient = await suite.createRecipientContext({
    recipientKey: rkp.privateKey,
    enc: sender.enc,
  });

  // encrypt
  const ct = await sender.seal(new TextEncoder().encode("Hello world!"));

  // decrypt
  const pt = await recipient.open(ct);

  // Hello world!
  console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(pt));
}

try {
  doHpke();
} catch (err) {
  console.log("failed:", err.message);
}

Deno

import {
  Aes128Gcm,
  CipherSuite,
  DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
  HkdfSha256,
} from "@hpke/core";

async function doHpke() {
  // setup
  const suite = new CipherSuite({
    kem: new DhkemP256HkdfSha256(),
    kdf: new HkdfSha256(),
    aead: new Aes128Gcm(),
  });

  const rkp = await suite.kem.generateKeyPair();

  const sender = await suite.createSenderContext({
    recipientPublicKey: rkp.publicKey,
  });

  const recipient = await suite.createRecipientContext({
    recipientKey: rkp.privateKey,
    enc: sender.enc,
  });

  // encrypt
  const ct = await sender.seal(new TextEncoder().encode("Hello world!"));

  // decrypt
  const pt = await recipient.open(ct);

  // Hello world!
  console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(pt));
}

try {
  doHpke();
} catch (_err: unknown) {
  console.log("doHPKE() failed.");
}
