List of JavaScript Crypto libraries.

JavaScript Crypto Libraries

I start with a list and plan to create a comparison table.

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

http://bitwiseshiftleft.github.io/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.

I have created a Repo with this info so people can help easily.
Also the list has a new format that I think will help us to compare the different options easily: JavaScript Crypto Libraries
Comments, missing libs and pull requests more than welcome.
