A pure TypeScript RSA cryptography library for Node.js and browsers supporting key generation, encryption/decryption, and signing/verification. It supports PKCS1, OAEP, and PSS schemes and works without Buffer/crypto polyfills in modern browsers.

Use cases

• generate RSA key pairs in node.js
• encrypt and decrypt data with RSA in TypeScript
• sign and verify messages with RSA
• use RSA encryption in the browser
• encrypt long messages with RSA
• implement PSS or PKCS1 signing schemes

When to choose

• you need RSA encryption, decryption, signing, or verification in Node.js or the browser
• you want a pure TypeScript library with no native dependencies
• you need flexible key import/export formats and signing schemes like PSS or PKCS1

When to avoid

• you need elliptic-curve or other asymmetric algorithms beyond RSA
• you need a full TLS or certificate management toolkit
• you are on Node.js older than version 20
