List of JavaScript Crypto libraries.

JavaScript Crypto Libraries

List some crypto libraries for JavaScript out there. Might be a bit out dated. Scroll to the bottom.

WebCryptoAPI

http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/

This specification describes a JavaScript API for performing basic cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing, signature generation and verification, and encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes an API for applications to generate and/or manage the keying material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for this API range from user or service authentication, document or code signing, and the confidentiality and integrity of communications.

  • W3C Working Draft 25 June 2013

sjcl

Stanford Javascript Crypto Library

js-nacl

https://github.com/tonyg/js-nacl

Emscripten-compiled Javascript version of NaCl, the Networking and Cryptography library.

jsbn

http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/

RSA and ECC in JavaScript

  • Version 1.4 (7/1/2013)

ursa

https://github.com/Obvious/ursa

RSA public/private key crypto for Node.

jsencrypt

https://github.com/travist/jsencrypt

Provides a simple wrapper around the fantastic work done by Tom Wu for RSA Encryption for JavaScript.

OpenPGP.js

https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs

OpenPGP implementation for JavaScript

jwcrypto

https://github.com/mozilla/jwcrypto

JavaScript implementation of JSON Web Signatures, JSON Web Tokens, and JSON Web Certificates

cryptico

https://github.com/wwwtyro/cryptico

An easy-to-use encryption system utilizing RSA and AES for javascript.

pidCrypt

https://www.pidder.de/pidcrypt/?start

a JavaScript crypto library

forge

https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge

A native implementation of TLS in Javascript and tools to write crypto-based and network-heavy webapps

  • based on jsbn

CryptoJS

http://code.google.com/p/crypto-js/

JavaScript implementations of standard and secure cryptographic algorithms

crypto

JavaScript Cryptography Toolkit

This library is an object oriented cryptography toolkit that implements several fundamental cryptographic algorithms including TWOFISH, SERPENT, RIJNDAEL, RSA with key-generation and SHA(SHA-1,224,256,384,512) for JavaScript. This library works in ActionScript as well. The unique feature of this library is asynchronous processing. A heavyweight process such as 4096bit RSA key generation will be done asynchronously so that this library does not cause problems such as freezing browsers, "slow-downing" warning dialogs, etc.

  • asynchronous RSA key generation
  • based on jsbn

jscrypto

http://code.google.com/p/jscryptolib/

A JavaScript Cryptography Library

This library is an object oriented cryptography library that implements several fundamental cryptographic algorithms including AES, SHA-1, HMAC, BASE64, RSA, ECC and IBE for JavaScript. This library works in ActionScript as well.

Cifre

https://github.com/openpeer/cifre

Cifre is a fast crypto toolkit for modern client-side JavaScript. This is done by taking the best crypto code for js on the net and updating it to use modern technologies. There are plans to collaborate with the forge project.

help me please i want to crypt data in arduino uno (AES) and decrypt data in node js (AES) ...give me a solution

Most of these or even all of them are npm packages. I would like to know what are my options for using as a single js file to include it in a simple lightweight web page, so I could just copy it and don't bother with npm, yarn, whatever.

Checkout my project Cypher. It appends to Object, Object.prototype and String.prototype pretty fast and secure methods for synchronous encryption and decryption. I have also built a method that gives you unique randomised symmetric keys. If you'd like to see it running and do some testing, go here (use the testing.js file for testing).

We're using http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/jsbn/ and getting window.crypto.random is not a function error at line 39 in rng.js file in IOS webviewcontroller. We're using Xcode 11.3 for native apps. Can you please look into it? It's working fine for previous version of Xcode and other browsers as well.

I don't think this is standardized yet. Check out https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-1024-cross-client-encrypt-decrypt/505 as well.

FYI, we also just published Skiff Crypto, which is open-source, has asymmetric/symmetric crypto for Node.JS + browser runtime. It also has object versioning capabilities. Repo link - https://github.com/skiff-org/skiff-apps/tree/main/libs/skiff-crypto.
