noble-curves-simple

Pure JavaScript ES modules version of @noble/curves - Audited & minimal JS implementation of elliptic curve cryptography.

This is a pre-compiled version of the noble-curves library that:

• ✅ Works directly with npm-based CDNs (unpkg, jsDelivr, esm.sh, etc.)
• ✅ Pure JavaScript with ES modules
• ✅ Includes TypeScript definitions (.d.ts files)
• ✅ No build step required
• ✅ Same API as the original @noble/curves

Installation

npm install noble-curves-simple

Or use directly from CDN:

import { secp256k1 } from 'https://unpkg.com/noble-curves-simple/secp256k1.js';
import { ed25519 } from 'https://unpkg.com/noble-curves-simple/ed25519.js';

Usage

The API is identical to @noble/curves. Please refer to the original documentation for detailed usage instructions.

Quick example:

import { secp256k1 } from 'noble-curves-simple/secp256k1';

// Generate private key
const privKey = secp256k1.utils.randomPrivateKey();

// Get public key
const pubKey = secp256k1.getPublicKey(privKey);

// Sign message
const msgHash = new Uint8Array(32); // Your message hash
const signature = secp256k1.sign(msgHash, privKey);

// Verify signature
const isValid = secp256k1.verify(signature, msgHash, pubKey);

Available Curves

All curves from the original library are available:

• Short Weierstrass: secp256k1, p256, p384, p521
• Edwards: ed25519, ed448
• BLS: bls12-381
• Other: bn254, pasta, jubjub

Differences from @noble/curves

1. Pre-compiled: This package contains JavaScript files instead of TypeScript
2. ES Modules only: Uses "type": "module" in package.json
3. No build dependencies: No TypeScript or build tools required
4. CDN-friendly: Works directly with npm-based CDNs

Original Library

This is a derivative work of @noble/curves by Paul Miller.

• 🔒 Audited by independent security firms
• 🔻 Tree-shakeable: unused code is excluded from your builds
• 🏎 Fast: hand-optimized for caveats of JS engines
• 🔍 Reliable: cross-library tests and fuzzing ensure correctness
