KyberJS

Javascript implementation of Kyber interfaces

1. This is developmental, and not ready for protecting production data.
2. This is not a constant time implementation, and likely has timing side channels that can be attacked.

Usage

In the browser:

The bundle is compiled using the command:

npm run bundle

Check index.html for a browser-based usage

In NodeJS:

import kyber from "@dedis/kyber";
import { newCurve } from "@dedis/kyber/curve";
...

Dev Setup

The simplest way to use a kyber development version in an app and being able to add debug-lines and change the code is to add the following to your tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "@dedis/kyber": [
        "../cothority/external/js/kyber/src",
        "node_modules/@dedis/kyber/*"
      ],
      "@dedis/kyber/*": [
        "../cothority/external/js/kyber/src/*",
        "node_modules/@dedis/kyber/*"
      ]
    }
  }
}

This will look for the cothority-sources in the parent directory of your app and include those. If it doesn't find them, it will use the sources found in the node_modules directory.

It is important that the cothority-repository is in the parent directory, else typescript will try to include it in the compilation.

Also, the cothority/external/js/kyber-sources need to have all the libraries installed with npm ci, else the compilation will fail.

Old way

git clone https://github.com/dedis/cothority
cd cothority/external/js/kyber
npm run link

cd $WORK_DIR
npm link @dedis/kyber

Browser Build

npm run build will transpile the typescript files of the src folder into dist and npm run bundle will pack everything inside a minimalistic bundle again in dist
