# bigint-crypto-utils
Utils for working with cryptography using native JS (stage 3) implementation of BigInt. It includes some extra functions to work with modular arithmetics along with secure random numbers and a fast strong probable prime generator/tester (parallelised multi-threaded Miller-Rabin primality test). It can be used by any [Web Browser or webview supporting BigInt](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt#Browser_compatibility) and with Node.js (>=10.4.0). In the latter case, for multi-threaded primality tests, you should use Node.js 11 or enable at runtime with `node --experimental-worker` with Node.js >=10.5.0.
