gnablib

A lean, zero dependency library to provide a useful base for your project. Checksums, cryptography, codecs, date-times, error-checking-codes, logging, pseudorandom number generation. The tools you need for any project. Secure build pipeline, provenance signed and typed.

Installation

This module is available through NPM. There are no install scripts, decrease your risk by explicitly preventing (--ignore-scripts)

(pnpm|npm) install gnablib --ignore-scripts

To verify provenance:

npm audit signatures

Algorithms

Checksum/Hash

A checksum; can be used to prevent/identify accidental changes. A hash; maps some data to another, often used for hash tables, or to speed up comparison.

Command Line Interface (cli)

  • Argument and option parsing
  • Foreground, background color (8 color, 213 color, 16M colors)

Secure Hash

Cryptography hash functions that have the properties:

  • Finding an input string that matches a hash value (pre-image) is hard
  • Finding a pair of messages that generate the same hash value (collision) is hard

Key Derivation Function (KDF)

A cryptographic algorithm that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value. Can be used to stretch keys (make them longer), or obtain a key in a particular format (eg making a key a fixed length)

  • HKDF
  • PBKDF2 pbkdf2_hmac_sha1, pbkdf2_hmac_sha256, pbkdf2_hmac_sha512

Message Authentication Code (MAC)

Also known as an authentication tag, a short piece of information to authenticate a message. Protect integrity, and authenticity.

Name Tag Size
CMAC 16 (AES)
HMAC Depends on hash (Blake, Blake2, cShake, Keccak, MD4, MD5, RipeMD, Sha1, Sha2, Sha3, Shake, Whirlpool)
HopMAC 16 (Kangaroo Twelve)
KMAC 16, 32 (Keccak)
Poly1305 16

EXtendable-Output Function (XOF)

A secure hash that can produce output of any desired length.

Name Capacities Optional parameters
Ascon-Xof, Ascon-XofA 256 digest size
cShake 128, 256 digest size, function name, customization
KangarooTwelve 128 digest size, customization

DateTime

  • Year, Month, Day
  • Hour, Minute, Second, Millisecond, Microsecond
  • DateTimeLocal, DateTimeUtc, DateOnly, TimeOnly
  • Duration, DurationExact
  • DateTime*.lt|lte|eq|gt|gte|neq - Compare two date-times
  • DateTime*.add|sub - Add or subtract Duration|DurationExact from a date-time
  • DateTime*.diff|diffExact - Get the difference between two dates in y/m/d/h/* or d/h/*

Error Correction Codes

Endian

Net

Primitive

  • Fixed TypedArray
  • Int64
  • Lazy
  • Readonly TypedArray
  • Scaling TypedArray
  • StringBuilder
  • U16
  • U32, U32Mut, U32MutArray
  • U64, U64Mut, U64MutArray

Pseudorandom number generators (PRNG)

  • Marsaglia - possible to calculate in your head
  • Middle-Square - in practice flawed since the period is often short and will converge towards the same number or loop after repeated times
  • MSVC
  • RANDU - a famously bad PRNG

RegExp

  • RegExp escape string

RunTime

  • Configuration (including collecting from environment variables)
  • Structured logging
  • Normalize stack entries, and stack traces across engines, with colors
