hpke-js

A TypeScript Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) implementation build on top of Web Cryptography API. This module works on web browsers, Node.js, Deno and various other JavaScript runtimes.

Documentation: jsr.io | pages (only for the latest ver.)

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-js
yarn add hpke-js
pnpm install hpke-js
# Using jsr:
npx jsr add hpke-js
yarn dlx jsr add hpke-js
pnpm dlx jsr add hpke-js

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 { AeadId, CipherSuite, KdfId, KemId } from "hpke-js";

Deno

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

deno add jsr:@hpke/hpke-js

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

Using esm.sh:

<!-- use a specific version -->
<script type="module">
  import {
    AeadId,
    CipherSuite,
    KdfId,
    KemId,
  } from "https://esm.sh/hpke-js@<SEMVER>";
  // import * as hpke from "https://esm.sh/@hpke/core@<SEMVER>";
  // ...
</script>

<!-- use the latest stable version -->
<script type="module">
  import {
    AeadId,
    CipherSuite,
    KdfId,
    KemId,
  } from "https://esm.sh/hpke-js";
  // import * as hpke from "https://esm.sh/@hpke/core";
  // ...
</script>

Using unpkg:

<!-- use a specific version -->
<script type="module">
  import {
    AeadId,
    CipherSuite,
    KdfId,
    KemId,
  } from "https://unpkg.com/hpke-js@<SEMVER>/esm/mod.js";
  // 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 { AeadId, CipherSuite, KdfId, KemId } from "hpke-js";

async function doHpke() {
  const suite = new CipherSuite({
    kem: KemId.DhkemX25519HkdfSha256,
    kdf: KdfId.HkdfSha256,
    aead: AeadId.Chacha20Poly1305,
  });

  // A recipient generates a key pair.
  const rkp = await suite.kem.generateKeyPair();

  // A sender encrypts a message with the recipient public key.
  const sender = await suite.createSenderContext({
    recipientPublicKey: rkp.publicKey,
  });
  const ct = await sender.seal(new TextEncoder().encode("Hello world!"));

  // The recipient decrypts it.
  const recipient = await suite.createRecipientContext({
    recipientKey: rkp.privateKey,
    enc: sender.enc,
  });
  const pt = await recipient.open(ct);

  // Hello world!
  console.log("decrypted: ", new TextDecoder().decode(pt));
}

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

Deno

import { AeadId, CipherSuite, KdfId, KemId } from "@hpke/hpke-js";

async function doHpke() {
  const suite = new CipherSuite({
    kem: KemId.DhkemX25519HkdfSha256,
    kdf: KdfId.HkdfSha256,
    aead: AeadId.Chacha20Poly1305,
  });

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

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

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

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

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

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

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