    // Verify dual hash with either password
    const isValidDual1 = await KineticKeys.verifyUnlockHash(dualHash, 'password1');
    const isValidDual2 = await KineticKeys.verifyUnlockHash(dualHash, 'password2');
    
    console.log('Dual valid 1:', isValidDual1);
    console.log('Dual valid 2:', isValidDual2);
}

testUnlockHashes().catch(console.error);

🧬 Poem Matrix Key Derivation

Advanced key derivation using dynamic poem matrices for secure content encryption:

const KineticKeys = require('@ayxdele/kinetic-keys');

async function testPoemMatrix() {
    // Generate a dynamic matrix (default 16x10)
    const poemMatrix = KineticKeys.generatePoemMatrix();
    // Custom size: rows x character_length
    const customMatrix = KineticKeys.generatePoemMatrix(20, 12);

    const keyId = await KineticKeys.generateUniqueID(16);
    const secretText = "This is confidential information that needs protection";

    // Encrypt and generate blueprint
    const { blueprint, indices } = await KineticKeys.gen(secretText, poemMatrix, keyId);
    console.log('Generated Blueprint:', blueprint);
    console.log('Matrix Indices:', indices);

    // Decrypt using blueprint and indices
    const recoveredText = await KineticKeys.receive(blueprint, poemMatrix, indices, keyId);
    console.log('Recovered Text:', recoveredText);
    console.log('Match:', secretText === recoveredText); // true
}

testPoemMatrix().catch(console.error);

📦 Secure Vouchers

Create encrypted vouchers that can only be decrypted with the correct passphrase:

const KineticKeys = require('@ayxdele/kinetic-keys');

async function testVouchers() {
    // Create a voucher
    const SYSTEM_SECRET = "your-system-secret-key"; // Keep this secret!
    const passphrase = "user-passphrase";
    const unlockHash = await KineticKeys.generateUnlockHash(passphrase);

    // Note: The payload must be a string. Use JSON.stringify for objects
    const payload = JSON.stringify({
        id: await KineticKeys.generateUniqueID(32),
        payload: "Sensitive asset metadata or data",
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        metadata: { type: "confidential", level: "high" }
    });

    const voucher = KineticKeys.createVoucher(payload, unlockHash, SYSTEM_SECRET);
    console.log('Created Voucher:', voucher);

    // Decrypt voucher
    const decryptedData = await KineticKeys.decryptVoucher(voucher, passphrase, unlockHash, SYSTEM_SECRET);
    console.log('Decrypted Data:', JSON.parse(decryptedData));

🚀 Quick Start Guide

Complete Working Example

Here's a complete example that demonstrates proper usage of all features:

const KineticKeys = require('@ayxdele/kinetic-keys');

async function completeExample() {
    console.log('🚀 Starting Kinetic Keys example...\n');
    
    // 1. Generate unique identifiers
    const sessionId = await KineticKeys.generateUniqueID(16);
    const transactionId = await KineticKeys.generateUniqueID(24);
    
    // 2. Create poem matrix for encryption
    const poemMatrix = KineticKeys.generatePoemMatrix(20, 12);
    
    // 3. Prepare data - MUST be a string for encryption
    const transactionData = JSON.stringify({
        from: "Alice",
        to: "Bob",
        amount: 100,
        currency: "USDC"
    });
    
    // 4. Encrypt data using poem matrix
    const { blueprint, indices } = await KineticKeys.gen(
        transactionData, 
        poemMatrix, 
        transactionId
    );
    
    // 5. Create unlock hash for access control
    const unlockHash = await KineticKeys.generateUnlockHash('user-password');
    
    // 6. Create voucher - payload MUST be a string!
    const voucherPayload = JSON.stringify({
        sessionId,
        transactionId,
        blueprint,
        indices,
        poemMatrix, // Include for decryption
        timestamp: Date.now()
    });
    
    const SYSTEM_SECRET = "your-system-secret";
    const voucher = KineticKeys.createVoucher(
        voucherPayload, // String, not object!
        unlockHash, 
        SYSTEM_SECRET
    );
    
    // 7. Decrypt voucher
    const decrypted = await KineticKeys.decryptVoucher(
        voucher, 
        'user-password', 
        unlockHash, 
        SYSTEM_SECRET
    );
    
    // 8. Parse and recover original data
    const voucherData = JSON.parse(decrypted);
    const recovered = await KineticKeys.receive(
        voucherData.blueprint,
        voucherData.poemMatrix,
        voucherData.indices,
        voucherData.transactionId
    );
    
    console.log('Original:', JSON.parse(transactionData));
    console.log('Recovered:', JSON.parse(recovered));
    console.log('Success:', transactionData === recovered);
}

completeExample().catch(console.error);

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Wrong - Passing object to createVoucher:

const KineticKeys = require('@ayxdele/kinetic-keys');

async function wrongExample() {
    const unlockHash = await KineticKeys.generateUnlockHash('password');
    const SYSTEM_SECRET = "secret";
    
    // This will cause: "The 'data' argument must be of type string"
    const voucher = KineticKeys.createVoucher({
        data: "some data"  // ❌ Object passed
    }, unlockHash, SYSTEM_SECRET);
}

✅ Correct - Pass string to createVoucher:

const KineticKeys = require('@ayxdele/kinetic-keys');

async function correctExample() {
    const unlockHash = await KineticKeys.generateUnlockHash('password');
    const SYSTEM_SECRET = "secret";
    
    // Always stringify objects before encryption
    const voucher = KineticKeys.createVoucher(
        JSON.stringify({ data: "some data" }),  // ✅ String passed
        unlockHash, 
        SYSTEM_SECRET
    );
    
    console.log('Voucher created successfully');
}

correctExample().catch(console.error);

1. Key Encapsulation (Kyber-1024)

const { PQC } = require('@ayxdele/kinetic-keys');

async function keyEncapsulation() {
    // Generate recipient's key pair
    const recipientKeys = await PQC.KEM.generateKeyPair();
    
    // Sender encapsulates a shared secret
    const { ciphertext, sharedSecret } = await PQC.KEM.encapsulate(recipientKeys.publicKey);
    
    // Recipient decapsulates the shared secret
    const decapsulatedSecret = await PQC.KEM.decapsulate(ciphertext, recipientKeys.privateKey);
    
    // Verify secrets match
    const match = Array.from(sharedSecret).every((byte, i) => byte === decapsulatedSecret[i]);
    console.log('Key exchange successful:', match);
}

keyEncapsulation().catch(console.error);

2. Digital Signatures (Dilithium-5)

const { PQC } = require('@ayxdele/kinetic-keys');

async function digitalSignatures() {
    // Generate signing key pair
    const signingKeys = await PQC.DSA.generateKeyPair();
    
    const message = "Hello, post-quantum world!";
    
    // Sign the message
    const signature = await PQC.DSA.createSignature(message, signingKeys.privateKey);
    
    // Verify the signature
    const isValid = await PQC.DSA.verifySignature(signature, message, signingKeys.publicKey);
    console.log('Signature valid:', isValid);
}

digitalSignatures().catch(console.error);

3. Secure Communication Workflow

const { PQC } = require('@ayxdele/kinetic-keys');

async function secureComm() {
    // Check PQC availability first
    const availability = await PQC.isAvailable();
    if (!availability.kyber || !availability.dilithium) {
        console.log('PQC not fully available');
        return;
    }
    
    // Memory-optimized approach: generate keys separately with delays
    console.log('Generating Alice KEM keys...');
    const aliceKemKeys = await PQC.KEM.generateKeyPair();
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100)); // Memory breathing room
    
    console.log('Generating Bob KEM keys...');
    const bobKemKeys = await PQC.KEM.generateKeyPair();
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100)); // Memory breathing room
    
    console.log('Generating Alice DSA keys...');
    const aliceDsaKeys = await PQC.DSA.generateKeyPair();
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100)); // Memory breathing room
    
    const message = "Confidential post-quantum message";
    
    // Alice establishes shared secret first
    console.log('Establishing shared secret...');
    const { ciphertext, sharedSecret } = await PQC.KEM.encapsulate(bobKemKeys.publicKey);
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    
    // Bob decapsulates
    console.log('Bob decapsulating secret...');
    const bobSecret = await PQC.KEM.decapsulate(ciphertext, bobKemKeys.privateKey);
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    
    // Alice signs message
    console.log('Alice signing message...');
    const signature = await PQC.DSA.createSignature(message, aliceDsaKeys.privateKey);
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    
    // Bob verifies signature
    console.log('Bob verifying signature...');
    const verified = await PQC.DSA.verifySignature(signature, message, aliceDsaKeys.publicKey);
    
    const secretMatch = Array.from(sharedSecret).every((byte, i) => byte === bobSecret[i]);
    const channelEstablished = verified && secretMatch;
    
    console.log('Secure channel established:', channelEstablished);
    return channelEstablished;
}

secureComm().catch(console.error);

Hybrid Authentication System

Combine traditional and post-quantum authentication:

const KineticKeys = require('@ayxdele/kinetic-keys');

async function hybridAuthSystem() {
    const username = "[email protected]";
    const password = "SecurePassword123!";
    const totpCode = "654321";

    const sessionToken = await KineticKeys.generateUniqueID(32);
    
    // Post-quantum identity verification
    const { PQC } = KineticKeys;
    if ((await PQC.isAvailable()).dilithium) {
        const identityKeys = await PQC.DSA.generateKeyPair();
        
        const authPayload = { username, sessionToken, timestamp: Date.now() };
        const signature = await PQC.DSA.createSignature(JSON.stringify(authPayload), identityKeys.privateKey);
        
        // Create authenticated session voucher - payload must be string!
        const sessionVoucher = KineticKeys.createVoucher(JSON.stringify({

• Complete verification workflow ensuring data integrity

🚢 Production Deployment

Package Size Optimization

The production package is optimized to 51.0 KB compressed (157.6 KB unpacked):

• ✅ Essential files only
• ✅ Compressed WASM modules
• ✅ Tree-shakeable exports
• ✅ No development dependencies

Deployment Checklist

• [ ] Verify WASM module loading in target environment
• [ ] Test post-quantum algorithms availability
• [ ] Configure memory limits (minimum 4MB recommended)
• [ ] Set up monitoring for cryptographic operations
• [ ] Validate performance benchmarks in production

🔐 Security Considerations

Quantum Resistance

• NIST Level 5 Security - Equivalent to AES-256
• Future-proof - Designed for post-quantum computing era
• Standardized - Based on NIST-approved algorithms

Implementation Security

• Constant-time operations - Resistant to timing attacks
• Memory protection - WASM sandboxing
• Secure randomness - Cryptographically secure RNG
• Input validation - Comprehensive parameter checking

Best Practices

1. Key Management - Store private keys securely
2. Message Authentication - Always verify signatures
3. Fresh Keys - Generate new keys for each session
4. Error Handling - Never expose sensitive data in errors
5. Memory Management - For intensive PQC operations, add small delays between operations to prevent WASM memory allocation issues

Memory Considerations

When performing multiple intensive PQC operations in sequence (e.g., generating multiple key pairs and performing cryptographic operations), you may encounter memory allocation issues in resource-constrained environments. To mitigate this:

// Add small delays between intensive operations
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));

// Or run with garbage collection enabled
// node --expose-gc your-script.js

Note: The Secure Communication Workflow example above works perfectly when run standalone, but may fail in test suites that perform many PQC operations due to cumulative WASM memory allocation. This is a known limitation of intensive cryptographic operations in JavaScript environments.
