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.

Install

Install with npm install eciesjs

Quick Start

> 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'

API

encrypt(receiverRawPub: string | Buffer, msg: Buffer): Buffer

Parameters:

• receiverRawPub - Receiver's secp256k1 public key, hex string or buffer
• msg - Data to encrypt

Returns: Buffer

decrypt(receiverRawPrv: string | Buffer, msg: Buffer): Buffer

Parameters:

• receiverRawPrv - Receiver's secp256k1 private key, hex string or buffer
• msg - Data to decrypt

Returns: Buffer
