+## ✨ What is Signalis Core?
+
+`@brashkie/signalis-core` is a **high-performance, audited cryptographic library** providing the foundational primitives for implementing the **Signal Protocol** in Node.js applications.
+
+Built with **Rust** for safety and speed, exposed to Node.js via [napi-rs](https://napi.rs), it provides a clean TypeScript API that works seamlessly in both CommonJS and ESM environments.
+
+> **Part of the [Hepein](https://github.com/Brashkie) ecosystem.**
+> The foundation for `@brashkie/signalis` (Signal Protocol), `@brashkie/waproto` (WhatsApp Protocol), and ultimately a from-scratch alternative to Baileys.

+
+## 🤔 Why Signalis Core?
+
+### vs. Node's built-in `crypto`
+
+```javascript
+// ❌ Node's crypto — verbose, error-prone, no Curve25519 native
+const { createDiffieHellman, createCipheriv, randomBytes } = require('crypto');
+// ... 20+ lines of boilerplate per operation
+
+// ✅ Signalis Core — clean, type-safe, audited
+const shared = Curve25519.diffieHellman(myPriv, theirPub);
+const ct = AES_GCM.encrypt(key, nonce, plaintext);
+```
+
+### vs. Pure JavaScript libraries (`tweetnacl`, `libsodium-js`)
+
+| | Signalis Core | tweetnacl-js | libsodium-js |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Speed** | 🟢 Native Rust | 🟡 Pure JS | 🟡 WASM |
+| **Bundle Size** | 🟢 ~80KB native | 🟢 ~50KB | 🔴 ~800KB |
+| **TypeScript** | 🟢 First-class | 🟡 Types via @types | 🟡 Types via @types |
+| **Modern API** | 🟢 Promise/async-ready | 🔴 Callbacks | 🟡 Sync only |
+| **Tree-Shakeable** | 🟢 Yes | 🟢 Yes | 🔴 No |
+
+### vs. Browser Web Crypto API
+
+The Web Crypto API requires Promises everywhere and has clunky `CryptoKey` objects. Signalis Core uses synchronous Buffers — a much more ergonomic API for server-side code.

+
+## ⚡ Quick Start
+
+### Establish an end-to-end encrypted channel
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  Curve25519,
+  HKDF,
+  AES_GCM,
+  randomNonce,
+} from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+// 1. Both parties generate keypairs
+const alice = Curve25519.generateKeyPair();
+const bob = Curve25519.generateKeyPair();
+
+// 2. ECDH key agreement (X25519)
+const sharedSecret = Curve25519.diffieHellman(
+  alice.privateKey,
+  bob.publicKey,
+);
+
+// 3. Derive a session key through HKDF
+const sessionKey = HKDF.derive(
+  Buffer.from('my-app-v1'),           // salt
+  sharedSecret,                       // IKM
+  Buffer.from('encryption-key'),      // info
+  32,                                 // length
+);
+
+// 4. Encrypt a message
+const nonce = randomNonce();          // 12 random bytes
+const plaintext = Buffer.from('Hello, World!');
+const ciphertext = AES_GCM.encrypt(sessionKey, nonce, plaintext);
+
+// 5. Decrypt
+const decrypted = AES_GCM.decrypt(sessionKey, nonce, ciphertext);
+console.log(decrypted.toString()); // → "Hello, World!"
+```
+
+### CommonJS
+
+```javascript
+const sc = require('@brashkie/signalis-core');
+
+const alice = sc.Curve25519.generateKeyPair();
+const bob = sc.Curve25519.generateKeyPair();
+const shared = sc.Curve25519.diffieHellman(alice.privateKey, bob.publicKey);
+```
+
+### Default Import
+
+```typescript
+import sc from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+const keypair = sc.Curve25519.generateKeyPair();
+const nonce = sc.randomNonce();
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📚 API Reference
+
+### Curve25519 / X25519
+
+Elliptic curve operations for key agreement.
+
+```typescript
+import { Curve25519, type KeyPair } from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+// Generate a new keypair (uses OS CSPRNG)
+const kp: KeyPair = Curve25519.generateKeyPair();
+// → { privateKey: Buffer(32), publicKey: Buffer(32) }
+
+// Derive public key from private
+const pub = Curve25519.publicFromPrivate(privateKey);
+
+// X25519 ECDH key agreement
+const shared = Curve25519.diffieHellman(myPriv, theirPub);
+// ⚠️ ALWAYS pass through HKDF before use!
+
+// Constants
+Curve25519.PRIVATE_KEY_SIZE;      // 32
+Curve25519.PUBLIC_KEY_SIZE;       // 32
+Curve25519.SHARED_SECRET_SIZE;    // 32
+```
+
+### HKDF-SHA256
+
+Key derivation per RFC 5869.
+
+```typescript
+import { HKDF } from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+// One-shot (recommended)
+const okm = HKDF.derive(salt, ikm, info, length);
+
+// Two-step
+const prk = HKDF.extract(salt, ikm);     // → 32 bytes
+const okm = HKDF.expand(prk, info, 64);  // → 64 bytes
+
+// Derive multiple keys at once
+const [encKey, macKey, ivKey] = HKDF.deriveMultiple(
+  salt,
+  ikm,
+  info,
+  [32, 32, 16],
+);
+
+// Object-based API
+const okm = HKDF.deriveFromParams({
+  salt: Buffer.from('salt'),
+  ikm: sharedSecret,
+  info: Buffer.from('aes-key'),
+  length: 32,
+});
+```
+
+### AES-256-GCM
+
+Authenticated encryption (recommended for most use cases).
+
+```typescript
+import { AES_GCM, randomNonce } from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+const key = randomKey();              // 32 bytes
+const nonce = randomNonce();          // 12 bytes (MUST be unique per message)
+
+// Encrypt → ciphertext || 16-byte tag
+const ct = AES_GCM.encrypt(key, nonce, plaintext);
+
+// Decrypt + verify tag
+const pt = AES_GCM.decrypt(key, nonce, ct);
+// Throws AuthenticationError if tampered
+```
+
+> **⚠️ CRITICAL:** Never reuse a `(key, nonce)` pair. Use `randomNonce()` for every message, or use a deterministic counter under the same key (max 2³² messages).
+
+### AES-256-CBC
+
+Block cipher (pair with HMAC for integrity).
+
+```typescript
+import { AES_CBC, HMAC, randomIv, concat } from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+// Encrypt-then-MAC pattern (the only safe way to use CBC)
+const iv = randomIv();
+const ct = AES_CBC.encrypt(encKey, iv, plaintext);
+const tag = HMAC.sha256(macKey, concat([iv, ct]));
+
+// To decrypt: verify MAC first, then decrypt
+if (HMAC.verifySha256(macKey, concat([iv, ct]), tag)) {
+  const pt = AES_CBC.decrypt(encKey, iv, ct);
+}
+```
+
+### HMAC-SHA256
+
+Message authentication.
+
+```typescript
+import { HMAC } from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+const tag = HMAC.sha256(key, data);                    // 32 bytes
+const valid = HMAC.verifySha256(key, data, tag);       // constant-time
+```
+
+### SHA-256
+
+Cryptographic hashing.
+
+```typescript
+import { SHA256 } from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+const hash = SHA256.hash(data);                        // 32 bytes
+const hash2 = SHA256.hashAll([buf1, buf2, buf3]);      // hash concatenated
+```
+
+### Utilities
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  // Secure random
+  secureRandom,    // (length) → Buffer
+  randomNonce,     // → 12-byte Buffer (for GCM)
+  randomIv,        // → 16-byte Buffer (for CBC)
+  randomKey,       // → 32-byte Buffer
+
+  // Encoding
+  toHex,           // Buffer → string
+  fromHex,         // string → Buffer
+  toBase64,        // Buffer → string
+  fromBase64,      // string → Buffer
+  toBase64Url,     // Buffer → URL-safe string (no padding)
+  fromBase64Url,
+
+  // Security
+  constantTimeEqual,  // (a, b) → boolean (timing-safe)
+
+  // Buffer ops
+  concat,          // (buffers[]) → Buffer
+  xor,             // (a, b) → Buffer
+  zeroize,         // (buf) → void (wipes in-place)
+} from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+```
+
+### Errors
+
+All errors extend `SignalisError`:
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  SignalisError,            // Base class
+  ValidationError,          // Bad input (wrong size, wrong type)
+  CryptoError,              // Crypto op failed
+  AuthenticationError,      // Tag/MAC verification failed (extends CryptoError)
+  KeyDerivationError,       // HKDF or similar failed (extends CryptoError)
+  LengthError,              // Output length out of bounds (extends ValidationError)
+} from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+try {
+  AES_GCM.decrypt(key, nonce, tamperedCiphertext);
+} catch (e) {
+  if (e instanceof AuthenticationError) {
+    console.error('Tampering detected!');
+  } else if (e instanceof ValidationError) {
+    console.error(`Invalid parameter: ${e.parameter}`);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Examples
+
+The `examples/` directory contains complete working demos:
+
+```bash
+npm run example:cjs    # CommonJS (10 demos)
+npm run example:esm    # ESM (Alice ↔ Bob channel)
+npm run example:ts     # TypeScript (type-safe patterns)
+npm run examples       # Run all three
+```
+
+### Example: Secure file encryption
+
+```typescript
+import { AES_GCM, HKDF, randomKey, randomNonce } from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+import { readFile, writeFile } from 'fs/promises';
+
+async function encryptFile(inputPath: string, outputPath: string, password: string) {
+  const masterKey = randomKey();
+  const fileKey = HKDF.derive(
+    Buffer.from('file-encryption-v1'),
+    Buffer.from(password),
+    Buffer.from(inputPath),
+    32,
+  );
+
+  const plaintext = await readFile(inputPath);
+  const nonce = randomNonce();
+  const ciphertext = AES_GCM.encrypt(fileKey, nonce, plaintext);
+
+  // Output: [12-byte nonce][ciphertext + 16-byte tag]
+  await writeFile(outputPath, Buffer.concat([nonce, ciphertext]));
+}
+```
+
+### Example: Signal-style "Triple DH"
+
+```typescript
+import { Curve25519, HKDF, concat } from '@brashkie/signalis-core';
+
+// Alice has: identity key (IK_A), ephemeral key (EK_A)
+// Bob has:   identity key (IK_B), signed pre-key (SPK_B)
+
+function tripleDH(IK_A_priv: Buffer, EK_A_priv: Buffer,
+                  IK_B_pub: Buffer, SPK_B_pub: Buffer): Buffer {
+  const dh1 = Curve25519.diffieHellman(IK_A_priv, SPK_B_pub);   // Alice identity × Bob signed prekey
+  const dh2 = Curve25519.diffieHellman(EK_A_priv, IK_B_pub);    // Alice ephemeral × Bob identity
+  const dh3 = Curve25519.diffieHellman(EK_A_priv, SPK_B_pub);   // Alice ephemeral × Bob signed prekey
+
+  return HKDF.derive(
+    Buffer.alloc(32),                          // empty salt
+    concat([dh1, dh2, dh3]),                   // concatenated DHs as IKM
+    Buffer.from('Signal_X3DH_v1'),             // info
+    64,                                        // root_key (32) + chain_key (32)
+  );
+}
