Noise libp2p handshake for js-libp2p

This repository contains TypeScript implementation of noise protocol, an encryption protocol used in libp2p.

Usage

When published, package should be imported as: import { Noise } from 'libp2p-noise'.

Example of instantiating noise and passing it to the libp2p config:

const NOISE = new Noise(privateKey);

const libp2p = new Libp2p({
   modules: {
     connEncryption: [NOISE],
   },
});

Where parameters for Noise constructor are:

private key - required parameter (32 bytes libp2p peer private key)
static Noise key - (optional) existing private Noise static key
early data - (optional) an early data payload to be sent in handshake messages

This module exposes a crypto interface, as defined in the repository js-interfaces.
