**IMPORTANT! This package has been superseded by [bigint-crypto-utils](https://github.com/juanelas/bigint-crypto-utils)**. Please install that package instead.
Some extra functions to work with modular arithmetics using native JS (stage 3) implementation of BigInt. 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).

_The operations supported on BigInts are not constant time. BigInt can be therefore **[unsuitable for use in cryptography](https://www.chosenplaintext.ca/articles/beginners-guide-constant-time-cryptography.html).** Many platforms provide native support for cryptography, such as [Web Cryptography API](https://w3c.github.io/webcrypto/) or [Node.js Crypto](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/crypto.html)._ _The operations supported on BigInts are not constant time.
