Standalone Cryptography Library

A standalone cryptographic primitive wrapper library that can be included in various projects across a variety of development environments, including:

• Node.js >= 22.x (native C++ addon)
• WASM
• Javascript (asm.js)

It wraps gibme-c/crypto and exposes much of the functionality of that package to the supported development environments.

Note: Due to the size of the resulting WASM/Javascript module(s), only English mnemonic words are compiled by default.

Note: If you are looking to use this package in a browser, please read the browser directions below for a lighter installation path and minimal package size.

Features

• Hashing (Argon2d/i/id, SHA-256, Keccak, Blake2b, and more)
• Key derivation and HD keys (BIP32/BIP44/SLIP-0010)
• Mnemonic seed generation and restoration
• Digital signatures (Ed25519, ring signatures, CLSAG, Triptych)
• Range proofs (Bulletproofs, Bulletproofs+)
• RingCT (Pedersen commitments, pseudo commitments, amount masking)
• Multisig support
• Automatic module selection: native C++ addon > WASM > asm.js fallback

Node.js Library

Prebuilds of the Node.js native addon module and WASM/JS binaries are included with the npm-distributed package. If a prebuild for your platform does not exist, the native addon will be compiled automatically via CMake.

Dependencies

• Node.js >= 22.x
• Compiler supporting C++17 (gcc/clang/MSVC)

Installation

Yarn

yarn add @gibme/crypto
Copy

NPM

npm install @gibme/crypto
Copy

Initialization

TypeScript

import Crypto from '@gibme/crypto';

const crypto = await Crypto.init();
Copy

CommonJS

const Crypto = require('@gibme/crypto').default;

const crypto = await Crypto.init();
Copy

Forcing a Specific Module

By default, the library selects the best available module (native > WASM > JS). You can override this:

import Crypto from '@gibme/crypto';

const crypto = await Crypto.init();

// Force WASM module
await Crypto.force_wasm_library();

// Force JS (asm.js) module
await Crypto.force_js_library();
Copy

Subpath Exports

The package provides subpath exports for directly importing specific module loaders:

import Crypto from '@gibme/crypto/wasm'; // WASM loader
import Crypto from '@gibme/crypto/asm';  // asm.js loader
import Crypto from '@gibme/crypto/node'; // Native addon loader
Copy

Browser Usage / Installation

For browser environments, use the dedicated browser package which provides a lighter installation without the native C++ addon.

Yarn

yarn add @gibme/crypto-browser
Copy

NPM

npm install @gibme/crypto-browser
Copy

Initialization

TypeScript

import Crypto from '@gibme/crypto-browser';

const crypto = await Crypto.init();
Copy

CommonJS

const Crypto = require('@gibme/crypto-browser').default;

const crypto = await Crypto.init();
Copy
