Usage

This section shows some typical usage examples.

Base mode

On Node.js:

const { Kem, Kdf, Aead, CipherSuite } = require("hpke-js");

async function doHpke() {
  // setup
  const suite = new CipherSuite({
    kem: Kem.DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
    kdf: Kdf.HkdfSha256,
    aead: Aead.Aes128Gcm
  });

  const rkp = await suite.generateKeyPair();

  const sender = await suite.createSenderContext({
    recipientPublicKey: rkp.publicKey
  });

  const recipient = await suite.createRecipientContext({
    recipientKey: rkp,
    enc: sender.enc,
  });

  // encrypt
  const ct = await sender.seal(new TextEncoder().encode("my-secret-message"));

  // decrypt
  const pt = await recipient.open(ct);

  console.log("decrypted: ", new TextDecoder().decode(pt));
  // decripted: my-secret-message
}

doHpke();

PSK mode

On Node.js:

const { Kem, Kdf, Aead, CipherSuite } = require("hpke-js");

async function doHpke() {
  // setup
  const suite = new CipherSuite({
    kem: Kem.DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
    kdf: Kdf.HkdfSha256,
    aead: Aead.Aes128Gcm
  });

  const rkp = await suite.generateKeyPair();

  const sender = await suite.createSenderContext({
    recipientPublicKey: rkp.publicKey,
    psk: {
      id: new TextEncoder().encode("our-pre-shared-key-id"),
      key: new TextEncoder().encode("our-pre-shared-key"),
    }
  });

  const recipient = await suite.createRecipientContext({
    recipientKey: rkp,
    enc: sender.enc,
    psk: {
      id: new TextEncoder().encode("our-pre-shared-key-id"),
      key: new TextEncoder().encode("our-pre-shared-key"),
    }
  });

  // encrypt
  const ct = await sender.seal(new TextEncoder().encode("my-secret-message"));

  // decrypt
  const pt = await recipient.open(ct);

  console.log("decrypted: ", new TextDecoder().decode(pt));
  // decripted: my-secret-message
}

doHpke();

Auth mode

On Node.js:

const { Kem, Kdf, Aead, CipherSuite } = require("hpke-js");

async function doHpke() {
  // setup
  const suite = new CipherSuite({
    kem: Kem.DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
    kdf: Kdf.HkdfSha256,
    aead: Aead.Aes128Gcm
  });

  const rkp = await suite.generateKeyPair();
  const skp = await suite.generateKeyPair();

  const sender = await suite.createSenderContext({
    recipientPublicKey: rkp.publicKey,
    senderKey: skp
  });

  const recipient = await suite.createRecipientContext({
    recipientKey: rkp,
    enc: sender.enc,
    senderPublicKey: skp.publicKey
  });

  // encrypt
  const ct = await sender.seal(new TextEncoder().encode("my-secret-message"));

  // decrypt
  const pt = await recipient.open(ct);

  console.log("decrypted: ", new TextDecoder().decode(pt));
  // decripted: my-secret-message
}

doHpke();

AuthPSK mode

On Node.js:

const { Kem, Kdf, Aead, CipherSuite } = require("hpke-js");

async function doHpke() {
  // setup
  const suite = new CipherSuite({
    kem: Kem.DhkemP256HkdfSha256,
    kdf: Kdf.HkdfSha256,
    aead: Aead.Aes128Gcm
  });

  const rkp = await suite.generateKeyPair();
  const skp = await suite.generateKeyPair();

  const sender = await suite.createSenderContext({
    recipientPublicKey: rkp.publicKey,
    senderKey: skp,
    psk: {
      id: new TextEncoder().encode("our-pre-shared-key-id"),
      key: new TextEncoder().encode("our-pre-shared-key"),
    }
  });

  const recipient = await suite.createRecipientContext({
    recipientKey: rkp,
    enc: sender.enc,
    senderPublicKey: skp.publicKey,
    psk: {
      id: new TextEncoder().encode("our-pre-shared-key-id"),
      key: new TextEncoder().encode("our-pre-shared-key"),
    }
  });

  // encrypt
  const ct = await sender.seal(new TextEncoder().encode("my-secret-message"));

  // decrypt
  const pt = await recipient.open(ct);

  console.log("decrypted: ", new TextDecoder().decode(pt));
  // decripted: my-secret-message
}

doHpke();
