JavaScript Style Guide

bigint-crypto-utils

Utils for working with cryptography using native JS (ES-2020) implementation of BigInt. It includes some extra functions to work with modular arithmetic along with secure random numbers and a fast strong probable prime generator/tester (parallelized multi-threaded Miller-Rabin primality tests if workers are supported). It can be used by any Web Browser or webview supporting BigInt and with Node.js (>=10.4.0).

The operations supported on BigInts are not constant time. BigInt can be therefore unsuitable for use in cryptography. Many platforms provide native support for cryptography, such as Web Cryptography API or Node.js Crypto.

Installation

bigint-crypto-utils is distributed for web browsers and/or webviews supporting BigInt as an ES6 module or an IIFE file; and for Node.js (>=10.4.0), as a CJS module.

bigint-crypto-utils can be imported to your project with npm:

npm install bigint-crypto-utils

NPM installation defaults to the ES6 module for browsers and the CJS one for Node.js.

For web browsers, you can also directly download the IIFE bundle or the ES6 bundle module from GitHub.

Usage examples

Import your module as :

  • Node.js 
    const bigintCryptoUtils = require('bigint-crypto-utils')
... // your code here
  • JavaScript native or TypeScript project 
    import * as bigintCryptoUtils from 'bigint-crypto-utils'
... // your code here

    BigInt is ES-2020. In order to use it with TypeScript you should set lib (and probably also target and module) to esnext in tsconfig.json.

  • JavaScript native browser ES6 mod 
    <script type="module">
   import * as bigintCryptoUtils from 'lib/index.browser.bundle.mod.js'  // Use you actual path to the broser mod bundle
   ... // your code here
 </script>
  • JavaScript native browser IIFE 
    <head>
  ...
  <script src="../../lib/index.browser.bundle.js"></script> <!-- Use you actual path to the browser bundle -->
</head>
<body>
  ...
  <script>
    ... // your code here
  </script>
</body>

An example of usage could be:

/* A BigInt with value 666 can be declared calling the bigint constructor as 
BigInt('666') or with the shorter 666n.
Notice that you can also pass a number to the constructor, e.g. BigInt(666). 
However, it is not recommended since values over 2**53 - 1 won't be safe but 
no warning will be raised.
*/
const a = BigInt('5')
const b = BigInt('2')
const n = 19n

console.log(bigintCryptoUtils.modPow(a, b, n)) // prints 6

console.log(bigintCryptoUtils.modInv(2n, 5n)) // prints 3

console.log(bigintCryptoUtils.modInv(BigInt('3'), BigInt('5'))) // prints 2

console.log(bigintCryptoUtils.randBetween(2n ** 256n)) // Prints a cryptographically secure random number between 1 and 2**256 bits.

async function primeTesting () {
  // Output of a probable prime of 2048 bits
  console.log(await bigintCryptoUtils.prime(2048))

  // Testing if a number is a probable prime (Miller-Rabin)
  const number = 27n
  const isPrime = await bigintCryptoUtils.isProbablyPrime(number)
  if (isPrime) {
    console.log(`${number} is prime`)
  } else {
    console.log(`${number} is composite`)
  }
}

primeTesting()

You can find examples in the examples folder of the repository.

API reference documentation

Functions

abs(a) ⇒ bigint

Absolute value. abs(a)==a if a>=0. abs(a)==-a if a<0

bitLength(a) ⇒ number

Returns the bitlength of a number

eGcd(a, b) ⇒ egcdReturn

An iterative implementation of the extended euclidean algorithm or extended greatest common divisor algorithm. Take positive integers a, b as input, and return a triple (g, x, y), such that ax + by = g = gcd(a, b).

gcd(a, b) ⇒ bigint

Greatest-common divisor of two integers based on the iterative binary algorithm.

lcm(a, b) ⇒ bigint

The least common multiple computed as abs(a*b)/gcd(a,b)

max(a, b) ⇒ bigint

Maximum. max(a,b)==a if a>=b. max(a,b)==b if a<=b

min(a, b) ⇒ bigint

Minimum. min(a,b)==b if a>=b. min(a,b)==a if a<=b

modInv(a, n) ⇒ bigint

Modular inverse.

modPow(b, e, n) ⇒ bigint

Modular exponentiation b**e mod n. Currently using the right-to-left binary method

toZn(a, n) ⇒ bigint

Finds the smallest positive element that is congruent to a in modulo n

isProbablyPrime(w, [iterations]) ⇒ Promise.<boolean>

The test first tries if any of the first 250 small primes are a factor of the input number and then passes several iterations of Miller-Rabin Probabilistic Primality Test (FIPS 186-4 C.3.1)

prime(bitLength, [iterations]) ⇒ Promise.<bigint>

A probably-prime (Miller-Rabin), cryptographically-secure, random-number generator. The browser version uses web workers to parallelise prime look up. Therefore, it does not lock the UI main process, and it can be much faster (if several cores or cpu are available). The node version can also use worker_threads if they are available (enabled by default with Node 11 and and can be enabled at runtime executing node --experimental-worker with node >=10.5.0).

primeSync(bitLength, [iterations]) ⇒ bigint

A probably-prime (Miller-Rabin), cryptographically-secure, random-number generator. The sync version is NOT RECOMMENDED since it won't use workers and thus it'll be slower and may freeze thw window in browser's javascript. Please consider using prime() instead.

randBetween(max, [min]) ⇒ bigint

Returns a cryptographically secure random integer between [min,max]

randBits(bitLength, [forceLength]) ⇒ Promise.<(Buffer|Uint8Array)>

Secure random bits for both node and browsers. Node version uses crypto.randomFill() and browser one self.crypto.getRandomValues()

Since version 3.0.0 this is an async function and a new randBitsSync function has been added. If you are migrating from version 2 call randBitsSync instead.

randBitsSync(bitLength, [forceLength]) ⇒ Buffer | Uint8Array

Secure random bits for both node and browsers. Node version uses crypto.randomFill() and browser one self.crypto.getRandomValues()

randBytes(byteLength, [forceLength]) ⇒ Promise.<(Buffer|Uint8Array)>

Secure random bytes for both node and browsers. Node version uses crypto.randomFill() and browser one self.crypto.getRandomValues()

randBytesSync(byteLength, [forceLength]) ⇒ Buffer | Uint8Array

Secure random bytes for both node and browsers. Node version uses crypto.randomFill() and browser one self.crypto.getRandomValues()
