Privacy Kit includes these cryptographic algorithms, using trusted implementations rather than creating new ones.
SHA-512 - Our primary hash function for key derivation and high-security use cases.
SHA-256 - Used for compatibility with existing systems when 512-bit output isn't required.
Curve25519 - For secure key exchange and digital signatures, including X25519 and Ed25519 variants.
PBKDF2 - Password-based key derivation function that applies a pseudorandom function to the input password along with a salt value and repeats the process many times to produce a derived key resistant to brute-force attacks. Used for its widespread support across virtually all platforms and environments. Default configuration uses 600,000 iterations for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 and 210,000 iterations for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512, following the 2023 OWASP recommendations.
AES-256 - For encrypting data, using either:
Privacy Kit takes a different approach than libraries like JWT:
This ensures your privacy features work consistently and securely across all environments.
