What problem does it solve?

Implement Nostr cryptography workflows for key management, encryption, gift wrap, and remote signing across the NIP-06, NIP-44, NIP-46, NIP-49, and NIP-59 standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

NIP-44 v2 encryption/decryption with per-message keys derived from a shared conversation key
NIP-59 three-layer gift wrap flow (rumor, seal, gift wrap) with proper signing and routing
NIP-49 private key encryption using scrypt and XChaCha20-Poly1305 with password normalization
NIP-46 remote signing architecture and transport via kind:24133
Reference implementations, validators, and test vectors for end-to-end correctness

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema

How do I implement NIP-44 v2 encryption and decryption in TypeScript?▼

NIP-44 v2 encryption in TypeScript uses ECDH and HKDF to derive a shared conversation key, generating per-message keys for ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption. This skill provides reference implementations and test vectors to validate cryptographic correctness.

What is the NIP-59 gift wrap flow for Nostr metadata privacy?▼

The NIP-59 gift wrap flow is a three-layer process involving a rumor, seal, and gift wrap. It ensures proper signing and routing to protect metadata privacy during Nostr interactions, implemented end-to-end with TypeScript validators and test vectors.

How does NIP-49 private key encryption work with scrypt and XChaCha20-Poly1305?▼

NIP-49 private key encryption uses scrypt and XChaCha20-Poly1305 with password normalization to secure keys. This skill implements the standard in TypeScript, applying cryptographic correctness checks and test vectors for end-to-end validation.

Can I use this to integrate NIP-46 remote signing via kind:24133?▼

Yes, you can integrate NIP-46 remote signing in TypeScript via kind:24133 events. This skill implements the remote signing architecture and transport, enforcing cryptographic correctness across the full interaction flow with reference material.

How do I derive Nostr keys using NIP-06 in TypeScript?▼

NIP-06 key derivation in TypeScript allows hierarchical key generation from a seed. This skill implements the workflow alongside bech32 encoding, providing reference implementations and test vectors to ensure cryptographic correctness.

Does this skill include test vectors for validating Nostr cryptography workflows?▼

Yes, the skill includes test vectors, validators, and reference implementations for Nostr cryptography workflows. It enforces cryptographic correctness across NIP-44, NIP-59, NIP-49, and NIP-46 standards in TypeScript modules.
