    Class HQC192

    HQC-192 key encapsulation mechanism wrapper class

    HQC192

    High-level wrapper for HQC-192 KEM operations. Provides secure key generation, encapsulation, and decapsulation with automatic memory management.

    Memory Management:

    • All WASM memory is managed internally
    • Call destroy() when finished to free resources
    • Do not use instance after calling destroy()
    const kem = await createHQC192();

    // Generate keypair
    const { publicKey, secretKey } = kem.generateKeyPair();

    // Encapsulate
    const { ciphertext, sharedSecret } = kem.encapsulate(publicKey);

    // Decapsulate
    const recoveredSecret = kem.decapsulate(ciphertext, secretKey);

    // Cleanup
    kem.destroy();

      Algorithm metadata

      console.log(kem.info.name);           // 'HQC-192'
      console.log(kem.info.securityLevel); // 3

    Methods

    • Generate a new HQC-192 keypair

      Returns { publicKey: Uint8Array; secretKey: Uint8Array }

      If instance is destroyed

      If key generation fails

      const { publicKey, secretKey } = kem.generateKeyPair();
      console.log('Public key:', publicKey.length); // 4522 bytes
      console.log('Secret key:', secretKey.length); // 4586 bytes
    • Encapsulate a shared secret using a public key

      Parameters

      • publicKey: Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>

        Public key (4522 bytes)

      Returns { ciphertext: Uint8Array; sharedSecret: Uint8Array }

      If instance is destroyed

      If public key size is invalid

      If encapsulation fails

      const { ciphertext, sharedSecret } = kem.encapsulate(publicKey);
      console.log('Ciphertext:', ciphertext.length); // 8978 bytes
      console.log('Shared secret:', sharedSecret.length); // 64 bytes
    • Decapsulate a shared secret using a secret key

      Parameters

      • ciphertext: Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>

        Ciphertext (8978 bytes)

      • secretKey: Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>

        Secret key (4586 bytes)

      Returns Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>

      Shared secret (64 bytes)

      If instance is destroyed

      If ciphertext or secret key size is invalid

      If decapsulation fails

      const sharedSecret = kem.decapsulate(ciphertext, secretKey);
      console.log('Recovered secret:', sharedSecret.length); // 64 bytes
    • Free WASM resources

      Returns void

      Releases all WASM memory associated with this instance. The instance cannot be used after calling destroy().

      kem.destroy();
      // kem is now unusable
