Installation

You can use the QuarkDash library as a regular library for both Backend and Frontend applications without any additional dependencies.

Installation using NPM:

npm install quarkdash

Or using GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/devsdaddy/quarkdash
cd ./quarkdash

QuarkDash can be used at client and server. The library is written on typescript.

Basic example

/* Import modules */
import {CipherType, QuarkDash, QuarkDashUtils} from "../src";

/* Alice - client, bob - server, for example for key-exchange */
const alice = new QuarkDash({ cipher: CipherType.Gimli });
const bob = new QuarkDash({ cipher: CipherType.Gimli });

/* Generate key pair */
const alicePub = await alice.generateKeyPair();
const bobPub = await bob.generateKeyPair();

/* Initialize session at bob and jpin alice public key */
const ciphertext = await alice.initializeSession(bobPub, true) as Uint8Array;
await bob.initializeSession(alicePub, false);
await bob.finalizeSession(ciphertext);

/* Encrypt by alice and decrypt by bob */
const plain = QuarkDashUtils.textToBytes('Hello QuarkDash 🔒!');
const enc = await alice.encrypt(plain);
const dec = await bob.decrypt(enc);
console.log("Decrypted:", QuarkDashUtils.bytesToText(dec));
