+### Implementations
+
+#### ECDSA signatures over secp256k1 and others
+
+```ts
+import { secp256k1 } from '@noble/curves/secp256k1.js';
+// import { p256 } from '@noble/curves/nist.js'; // or p384 / p521
+
+const priv = secp256k1.utils.randomPrivateKey();
+const pub = secp256k1.getPublicKey(priv);
+const msg = new Uint8Array(32).fill(1); // message hash (not message) in ecdsa
+const sig = secp256k1.sign(msg, priv); // `{prehash: true}` option is available
+const isValid = secp256k1.verify(sig, msg, pub) === true;
+
+// hex strings are also supported besides Uint8Array-s:
+const privHex = '46c930bc7bb4db7f55da20798697421b98c4175a52c630294d75a84b9c126236';
+const pub2 = secp256k1.getPublicKey(privHex);
+
+// public key recovery
+// let sig = secp256k1.Signature.fromCompact(sigHex); // or .fromDER(sigDERHex)
+// sig = sig.addRecoveryBit(bit); // bit is not serialized into compact / der format
+sig.recoverPublicKey(msg).toRawBytes(); // === pub; // public key recovery
+```
+
+The same code would work for NIST P256 (secp256r1), P384 (secp384r1) & P521 (secp521r1).
+
+#### Hedged ECDSA with noise
+
+```ts
+const noisySignature = secp256k1.sign(msg, priv, { extraEntropy: true });
+const ent = new Uint8Array(32).fill(3); // set custom entropy
+const noisySignature2 = secp256k1.sign(msg, priv, { extraEntropy: ent });
+```
+
+Hedged ECDSA is add-on, providing improved protection against fault attacks.
+It adds noise to signatures. The technique is used by default in BIP340; we also implement them
+optionally for ECDSA. Check out blog post
+[Deterministic signatures are not your friends](https://paulmillr.com/posts/deterministic-signatures/)
+and [spec draft](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-cfrg-det-sigs-with-noise/).
+
+#### ECDH: Diffie-Hellman shared secrets
+
+```ts
+const someonesPub = secp256k1.getPublicKey(secp256k1.utils.randomPrivateKey());
+const shared = secp256k1.getSharedSecret(priv, someonesPub);
+// NOTE:
+// - `shared` includes parity byte: strip it using shared.slice(1)
+// - `shared` is not hashed: more secure way is sha256(shared) or hkdf(shared)
+```
+
+#### secp256k1 Schnorr signatures from BIP340
+
+```ts
+import { schnorr } from '@noble/curves/secp256k1.js';
+const priv = schnorr.utils.randomPrivateKey();
+const pub = schnorr.getPublicKey(priv);
+const msg = new TextEncoder().encode('hello');
+const sig = schnorr.sign(msg, priv);
+const isValid = schnorr.verify(sig, msg, pub);
+```
+
+#### ed25519
+
+```ts
+import { ed25519 } from '@noble/curves/ed25519.js';
+const priv = ed25519.utils.randomPrivateKey();
+const pub = ed25519.getPublicKey(priv);
+const msg = new TextEncoder().encode('hello');
+const sig = ed25519.sign(msg, priv);
+ed25519.verify(sig, msg, pub); // Default mode: follows ZIP215
+ed25519.verify(sig, msg, pub, { zip215: false }); // SBS / e-voting / RFC8032 / FIPS 186-5
+
+// Variants from RFC8032: with context, prehashed
+import { ed25519ctx, ed25519ph } from '@noble/curves/ed25519.js';
+```
+
+Default `verify` behavior follows ZIP215 and
+can be used in consensus-critical applications.
+If you need SBS (Strongly Binding Signatures) and FIPS 186-5 compliance,
+use `zip215: false`. Check out [Edwards Signatures section for more info](#edwards-twisted-edwards-curve).
+Both options have SUF-CMA (strong unforgeability under chosen message attacks).
+
+#### X25519
+
+```ts
+// X25519 aka ECDH on Curve25519 from [RFC7748](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7748)
+import { x25519 } from '@noble/curves/ed25519.js';
+const priv = 'a546e36bf0527c9d3b16154b82465edd62144c0ac1fc5a18506a2244ba449ac4';
+const pub = 'e6db6867583030db3594c1a424b15f7c726624ec26b3353b10a903a6d0ab1c4c';
+x25519.getSharedSecret(priv, pub) === x25519.scalarMult(priv, pub); // aliases
+x25519.getPublicKey(priv) === x25519.scalarMultBase(priv);
+x25519.getPublicKey(x25519.utils.randomPrivateKey());
+
+// ed25519 => x25519 conversion
+import { edwardsToMontgomeryPub, edwardsToMontgomeryPriv } from '@noble/curves/ed25519.js';
+edwardsToMontgomeryPub(ed25519.getPublicKey(ed25519.utils.randomPrivateKey()));
+edwardsToMontgomeryPriv(ed25519.utils.randomPrivateKey());
+```
+
+#### ristretto255
+
+```ts
+import { sha512 } from '@noble/hashes/sha2.js';
+import {
+  hashToCurve,
+  encodeToCurve,
+  RistrettoPoint,
+  hashToRistretto255,
+} from '@noble/curves/ed25519.js';
+
+const msg = new TextEncoder().encode('Ristretto is traditionally a short shot of espresso coffee');
+hashToCurve(msg);
+
+const rp = RistrettoPoint.fromHex(
+  '6a493210f7499cd17fecb510ae0cea23a110e8d5b901f8acadd3095c73a3b919'
+);
+RistrettoPoint.BASE.multiply(2n).add(rp).subtract(RistrettoPoint.BASE).toRawBytes();
+RistrettoPoint.ZERO.equals(dp) === false;
+// pre-hashed hash-to-curve
+RistrettoPoint.hashToCurve(sha512(msg));
+// full hash-to-curve including domain separation tag
+hashToRistretto255(msg, { DST: 'ristretto255_XMD:SHA-512_R255MAP_RO_' });

+const priv = ed448.utils.randomPrivateKey();
+const pub = ed448.getPublicKey(priv);

+
+// Variants from RFC8032: prehashed

+#### bls12-381
+
+```ts
+import { bls12_381 } from '@noble/curves/bls12-381.js';
+import { hexToBytes } from '@noble/curves/abstract/utils.js';
+
+// private keys are 32 bytes

+const msgp2 = blss.hash(new TextEncoder().encode('hello'), 'BLS_SIG_BLS12381G1_XMD:SHA-256_SSWU_RO_NUL_')
+const signature2 = blss.sign(msgp2, privateKey);
+const isValid2 = blss.verify(signature2, msgp2, publicKey);

+// bls.G1.ProjectivePoint.BASE, bls.G2.ProjectivePoint.BASE;
+// bls.fields.Fp, bls.fields.Fp2, bls.fields.Fp12, bls.fields.Fr;
+```
+
+See [abstract/bls](#bls-barreto-lynn-scott-curves).
+For example usage, check out [the implementation of BLS EVM precompiles](https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo/blob/361f4edbc239e795a411ac2da7e5567298b9e7e5/packages/evm/src/precompiles/bls12_381/noble.ts).
+
+#### bn254 aka alt_bn128
+
+```ts
+import { bn254 } from '@noble/curves/bn254.js';
+
+console.log(bn254.G1, bn254.G2, bn254.pairing);
+```
+
+The API mirrors [BLS](#bls12-381). The curve was previously called alt_bn128.
+The implementation is compatible with [EIP-196](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-196) and
+[EIP-197](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-197).
+
+We don't implement Point methods toHex / toRawBytes.
+To work around this limitation, has to initialize points on their own from BigInts.
+Reason it's not implemented is because [there is no standard](https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/halo2curves/issues/109).
+Points of divergence:
+
+- Endianness: LE vs BE (byte-swapped)
+- Flags as first hex bits (similar to BLS) vs no-flags
+- Imaginary part last in G2 vs first (c0, c1 vs c1, c0)
+
+For example usage, check out [the implementation of bn254 EVM precompiles](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-curves/blob/3ed792f8ad9932765b84d1064afea8663a255457/test/bn254.test.js#L697).
+
+#### misc curves
+
+```ts
+import { jubjub, babyjubjub } from '@noble/curves/misc.js';
+```
+
+Miscellaneous, rarely used curves are contained in the module.
+Jubjub curves have Fp over scalar fields of other curves. They are friendly to ZK proofs.
+jubjub Fp = bls n. babyjubjub Fp = bn254 n.
+
+## Abstract API
+
+Abstract API allows to define custom curves. All arithmetics is done with JS
+bigints over finite fields, which is defined from `modular` sub-module.
+For scalar multiplication, we use
+[precomputed tables with w-ary non-adjacent form (wNAF)](https://paulmillr.com/posts/noble-secp256k1-fast-ecc/).
+Precomputes are enabled for weierstrass and edwards BASE points of a curve.
+Implementations use [noble-hashes](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-hashes).
+It's always possible to use different hashing library.
+
+
+### weierstrass: Short Weierstrass curve
+
+```js
+import { weierstrass } from '@noble/curves/abstract/weierstrass.js';
+// NIST secp192r1 aka p192. https://www.secg.org/sec2-v2.pdf
+const p192_CURVE = {
+  p: 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffeffffffffffffffffn,
+  n: 0xffffffffffffffffffffffff99def836146bc9b1b4d22831n,
+  h: 1n,
+  a: 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffefffffffffffffffcn,
+  b: 0x64210519e59c80e70fa7e9ab72243049feb8deecc146b9b1n,
+  Gx: 0x188da80eb03090f67cbf20eb43a18800f4ff0afd82ff1012n,
+  Gy: 0x07192b95ffc8da78631011ed6b24cdd573f977a11e794811n,
+};
+const p192_Point = weierstrass(p192_CURVE);
+```
+
+Short Weierstrass curve's formula is `y² = x³ + ax + b`. `weierstrass`
+expects arguments `a`, `b`, field characteristic `p`, curve order `n`,
+cofactor `h` and coordinates `Gx`, `Gy` of generator point.
+
+#### Projective Weierstrass Point
+
+```js
+// # weierstrass Point methods
+// projective (homogeneous) coordinates: (x, y, z) ∋ (x=x/z, y=y/z)
+// const p = new Point(x, y, z);
+const p = Point.BASE;
+// arithmetics
+p.add(p).equals(p.double());
+p.subtract(p).equals(Point.ZERO);
+p.negate();
+p.multiply(31415n);
+
+// decoding, encoding
+const b = p.toBytes();
+const p2 = Point.fromBytes(b);
+// affine conversion
+const { x, y } = p.toAffine();
+const p3 = Point.fromAffine({ x, y });
+
+// Multi-scalar-multiplication (MSM) is basically `(Pa + Qb + Rc + ...)`.
+// It's 10-30x faster vs naive addition for large amount of points.
+// Pippenger algorithm is used underneath.
+const points = [Point.BASE, Point.BASE.multiply(2n), Point.BASE.multiply(4n), Point.BASE.multiply(8n)];
+Point.msm(points, [3n, 5n, 7n, 11n]).equals(Point.BASE.multiply(129n)); // 129*G
+```
+
+#### ECDSA signatures
+
+```js
+import { ecdsa } from '@noble/curves/abstract/weierstrass.js';
+import { sha256 } from '@noble/hashes/sha2.js';
+const p192 = ecdsa(p192_Point, sha256);
+const priv = p192.utils.randomPrivateKey();
+const pub = p192.getPublicKey(priv);
+const msg = sha256(new TextEncoder().encode('custom curve'));
+const sig = p192.sign(msg);
+const isValid = p192.verify(sig, msg, pub);
+```
+
+ECDSA signatures:
+
+- Are represented by `Signature` instances with `r, s` and optional `recovery` properties
+- Have `recoverPublicKey()`, `toBytes()` with optional `format: 'compact' | 'der'`
+- Can be prehashed, or non-prehashed:
+  - `sign(msgHash, privKey)` (default, prehash: false) - you did hashing before
+  - `sign(msg, privKey, {prehash: true})` - curves will do hashing for you
+- Are generated deterministically, following [RFC6979](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6979).
+  - Consider [hedged ECDSA with noise](#hedged-ecdsa-with-noise) for adding randomness into
+    for signatures, to get improved security against fault attacks.
+
+### edwards: Twisted Edwards curve
+
+```ts
+import { edwards } from '@noble/curves/abstract/edwards.js';
+const ed25519_CURVE = {
+  p: 0x7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffedn,
+  n: 0x1000000000000000000000000000000014def9dea2f79cd65812631a5cf5d3edn,
+  h: 8n,
+  a: 0x7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffecn,
+  d: 0x52036cee2b6ffe738cc740797779e89800700a4d4141d8ab75eb4dca135978a3n,
+  Gx: 0x216936d3cd6e53fec0a4e231fdd6dc5c692cc7609525a7b2c9562d608f25d51an,
+  Gy: 0x6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666658n,
+};
+const ed25519_Point = edwards(ed25519_CURVE);
+```
+
+Twisted Edwards curve's formula is `ax² + y² = 1 + dx²y²`.
+You must specify `a`, `d`, field characteristic `p`, curve order `n` (sometimes named as `L`),
+cofactor `h` and coordinates `Gx`, `Gy` of generator point.
+
+#### Extended Edwards Point
+
+```js
+const Point = ed25519_Point;
+// extended coordinates: (x, y, z, t) ∋ (x=x/z, y=y/z)
+// const p = new Point(x, y, z, t);
+
+const p = Point.BASE;
+// arithmetics
+p.add(p).equals(p.double());
+p.subtract(p).equals(Point.ZERO);
+p.negate();
+p.multiply(31415n);
+
+// decoding, encoding
+const b = p.toBytes();
+const p2 = Point.fromBytes(b);
+// on-curve test
+p.assertValidity();
+// affine conversion
+const { x, y } = p.toAffine();
+const p3 = Point.fromAffine({ x, y });
+// misc
+const pcl = p.clearCofactor();
+console.log(p.isTorsionFree(), p.isSmallOrder());
+```
+
+#### EdDSA signatures
+
+```js
+const ed25519 = eddsa(ed25519_Point, { hash: sha512 });
+// ed25519.getPublicKey();
+// ed25519.sign();
+// ed25519.verify();
+```
+
+We define ed25519, ed448; user can use custom curves with EdDSA,
+but EdDSA in general is not defined. Check out `edwards.ts` source code.
+
+For EdDSA signatures:
+
+- `zip215: true` is default behavior. It has slightly looser verification logic
+  to be [consensus-friendly](https://hdevalence.ca/blog/2020-10-04-its-25519am), following [ZIP215](https://zips.z.cash/zip-0215) rules
+- `zip215: false` switches verification criteria to strict
+  [RFC8032](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8032) / [FIPS 186-5](https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/fips/186/5/final)
+  and additionally provides [non-repudiation with SBS](https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/1244),
+  which is useful for:
+  - Contract Signing: if A signed an agreement with B using key that allows repudiation, it can later claim that it signed a different contract
+  - E-voting: malicious voters may pick keys that allow repudiation in order to deny results
+  - Blockchains: transaction of amount X might also be valid for a different amount Y
+- Both modes have SUF-CMA (strong unforgeability under chosen message attacks).
+
+### montgomery: Montgomery curve
+
+The module contains methods for x-only ECDH on Curve25519 / Curve448 from RFC7748.
+Proper Elliptic Curve Points are not implemented yet.
+
+### bls: Barreto-Lynn-Scott curves
+
+The module abstracts BLS (Barreto-Lynn-Scott) pairing-friendly elliptic curve construction.
+They allow to construct [zk-SNARKs](https://z.cash/technology/zksnarks/) and
+use aggregated, batch-verifiable
+[threshold signatures](https://medium.com/snigirev.stepan/bls-signatures-better-than-schnorr-5a7fe30ea716),
+using Boneh-Lynn-Shacham signature scheme.
+
+The module doesn't expose `CURVE` property: use `G1.CURVE`, `G2.CURVE` instead.
+Only BLS12-381 is currently implemented.
+Defining BLS12-377 and BLS24 should be straightforward.
+
+The default BLS uses short public keys (with public keys in G1 and signatures in G2).
+Short signatures (public keys in G2 and signatures in G1) are also supported.
+
+### hash-to-curve: Hashing strings to curve points
+
+The module allows to hash arbitrary strings to elliptic curve points. Implements [RFC 9380](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9380).
+
+Every curve has exported `hashToCurve` and `encodeToCurve` methods. You should always prefer `hashToCurve` for security:
+
+```ts
+import { hashToCurve, encodeToCurve } from '@noble/curves/secp256k1.js';
+import { randomBytes } from '@noble/hashes/utils.js';
+hashToCurve('0102abcd');
+console.log(hashToCurve(randomBytes()));
+console.log(encodeToCurve(randomBytes()));
+
+import { bls12_381 } from '@noble/curves/bls12-381.js';
+bls12_381.G1.hashToCurve(randomBytes(), { DST: 'another' });
+bls12_381.G2.hashToCurve(randomBytes(), { DST: 'custom' });
+```
+
+Low-level methods from the spec:
+
+```ts
+// produces a uniformly random byte string using a cryptographic hash function H that outputs b bits.
+function expand_message_xmd(
+  msg: Uint8Array,
+  DST: Uint8Array,
+  lenInBytes: number,
+  H: CHash // For CHash see abstract/weierstrass docs section
+): Uint8Array;
+// produces a uniformly random byte string using an extendable-output function (XOF) H.
+function expand_message_xof(
+  msg: Uint8Array,
+  DST: Uint8Array,
+  lenInBytes: number,
+  k: number,
+  H: CHash
+): Uint8Array;
+// Hashes arbitrary-length byte strings to a list of one or more elements of a finite field F
+function hash_to_field(msg: Uint8Array, count: number, options: Opts): bigint[][];
+
+/**
+ * * `DST` is a domain separation tag, defined in section 2.2.5
+ * * `p` characteristic of F, where F is a finite field of characteristic p and order q = p^m
+ * * `m` is extension degree (1 for prime fields)
+ * * `k` is the target security target in bits (e.g. 128), from section 5.1
+ * * `expand` is `xmd` (SHA2, SHA3, BLAKE) or `xof` (SHAKE, BLAKE-XOF)
+ * * `hash` conforming to `utils.CHash` interface, with `outputLen` / `blockLen` props
+ */
+type UnicodeOrBytes = string | Uint8Array;
+type Opts = {
+  DST: UnicodeOrBytes;
+  p: bigint;
+  m: number;
+  k: number;
+  expand?: 'xmd' | 'xof';
+  hash: CHash;
+};
+```
+
+### poseidon: Poseidon hash
+
+Implements [Poseidon](https://www.poseidon-hash.info) ZK-friendly hash:
+permutation and sponge.
+
+There are many poseidon variants with different constants.
+We don't provide them: you should construct them manually.
+Check out [scure-starknet](https://github.com/paulmillr/scure-starknet) package for a proper example.
+
+```ts
+import { poseidon, poseidonSponge } from '@noble/curves/abstract/poseidon.js';
+
+const rate = 2;
+const capacity = 1;
+const { mds, roundConstants } = poseidon.grainGenConstants({
+  Fp,
+  t: rate + capacity,
+  roundsFull: 8,
+  roundsPartial: 31,
+});
+const opts = {
+  Fp,
+  rate,
+  capacity,
+  sboxPower: 17,
+  mds,
+  roundConstants,
+  roundsFull: 8,
+  roundsPartial: 31,
+};
+const permutation = poseidon.poseidon(opts);
+const sponge = poseidon.poseidonSponge(opts); // use carefully, not specced
+```
+
+### modular: Modular arithmetics utilities
+
+```ts
+import * as mod from '@noble/curves/abstract/modular.js';
+
+// Finite Field utils
+const fp = mod.Field(2n ** 255n - 19n); // Finite field over 2^255-19
+fp.mul(591n, 932n); // multiplication
+fp.pow(481n, 11024858120n); // exponentiation
+fp.div(5n, 17n); // division: 5/17 mod 2^255-19 == 5 * invert(17)
+fp.inv(5n); // modular inverse
+fp.sqrt(21n); // square root
+
+// Non-Field generic utils are also available
+mod.mod(21n, 10n); // 21 mod 10 == 1n; fixed version of 21 % 10
+mod.invert(17n, 10n); // invert(17) mod 10; modular multiplicative inverse
+mod.invertBatch([1n, 2n, 4n], 21n); // => [1n, 11n, 16n] in one inversion
+```
+
+Field operations are not constant-time: they are using JS bigints, see [security](#security).
+The fact is mostly irrelevant, but the important method to keep in mind is `pow`,
+which may leak exponent bits, when used naïvely.
+
+`mod.Field` is always **field over prime number**. Non-prime fields aren't supported for now.
+We don't test for prime-ness for speed and because algorithms are probabilistic anyway.
+Initializing a non-prime field could make your app suspectible to
+DoS (infilite loop) on Tonelli-Shanks square root calculation.
+
+Unlike `mod.inv`, `mod.invertBatch` won't throw on `0`: make sure to throw an error yourself.
+
+### fft: Fast Fourier Transform
+
+Experimental implementation of NTT / FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) over finite fields.
+API may change at any time. The code has not been audited. Feature requests are welcome.
+
+```ts
+import * as fft from '@noble/curves/abstract/fft.js';
+```
+
+#### Creating private keys from hashes
+
+You can't simply make a 32-byte private key from a 32-byte hash.
+Doing so will make the key [biased](https://research.kudelskisecurity.com/2020/07/28/the-definitive-guide-to-modulo-bias-and-how-to-avoid-it/).
+
+To make the bias negligible, we follow [FIPS 186-5 A.2](https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/fips/186/5/final)
+and [RFC 9380](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9380#section-5.2).
+This means, for 32-byte key, we would need 48-byte hash to get 2^-128 bias, which matches curve security level.
+
+`hashToPrivateScalar()` that hashes to **private key** was created for this purpose.
+Use [abstract/hash-to-curve](#hash-to-curve-hashing-strings-to-curve-points)
+if you need to hash to **public key**.
+
+```ts
+import { p256 } from '@noble/curves/nist.js';
+import { sha256 } from '@noble/hashes/sha2.js';
+import { hkdf } from '@noble/hashes/hkdf.js';
+import * as mod from '@noble/curves/abstract/modular.js';
+const someKey = new Uint8Array(32).fill(2); // Needs to actually be random, not .fill(2)
+const derived = hkdf(sha256, someKey, undefined, 'application', 48); // 48 bytes for 32-byte priv
+const validPrivateKey = mod.hashToPrivateScalar(derived, p256.CURVE.n);
+```
+
+### utils: Useful utilities
+
+```ts
+import * as utils from '@noble/curves/abstract/utils.js';
+
+utils.bytesToHex(Uint8Array.from([0xde, 0xad, 0xbe, 0xef]));
+utils.hexToBytes('deadbeef');
+utils.numberToHexUnpadded(123n);
+utils.hexToNumber();
+
+utils.bytesToNumberBE(Uint8Array.from([0xde, 0xad, 0xbe, 0xef]));
+utils.bytesToNumberLE(Uint8Array.from([0xde, 0xad, 0xbe, 0xef]));
+utils.numberToBytesBE(123n, 32);
+utils.numberToBytesLE(123n, 64);
+
+utils.concatBytes(Uint8Array.from([0xde, 0xad]), Uint8Array.from([0xbe, 0xef]));
+utils.nLength(255n);
+utils.equalBytes(Uint8Array.from([0xde]), Uint8Array.from([0xde]));

+
+If you see anything unusual: investigate and report.
+
+### Constant-timeness
+
+We're targetting algorithmic constant time. _JIT-compiler_ and _Garbage Collector_ make "constant time"
+extremely hard to achieve [timing attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack) resistance
+in a scripting language. Which means _any other JS library can't have
+constant-timeness_. Even statically typed Rust, a language without GC,
+[makes it harder to achieve constant-time](https://www.chosenplaintext.ca/open-source/rust-timing-shield/security)
+for some cases. If your goal is absolute security, don't use any JS lib — including bindings to native ones.
+Use low-level libraries & languages.
+
+### Memory dumping
+
+Use low-level languages instead of JS / WASM if your goal is absolute security.
+
+The library mostly uses Uint8Arrays and bigints.
+
+- Uint8Arrays have `.fill(0)` which instructs to fill content with zeroes
+  but there are no guarantees in JS
+- bigints are immutable and don't have a method to zeroize their content:
+  a user needs to wait until the next garbage collection cycle
+- hex strings are also immutable: there is no way to zeroize them
+- `await fn()` will write all internal variables to memory. With
+  async functions there are no guarantees when the code
+  chunk would be executed. Which means attacker can have
+  plenty of time to read data from memory.
+
+This means some secrets could stay in memory longer than anticipated.
+However, if an attacker can read application memory, it's doomed anyway:
+there is no way to guarantee anything about zeroizing sensitive data without
+complex tests-suite which will dump process memory and verify that there is
+no sensitive data left. For JS it means testing all browsers (including mobile).
+And, of course, it will be useless without using the same
+test-suite in the actual application that consumes the library.
+
+### Supply chain security
+
+- **Commits** are signed with PGP keys, to prevent forgery. Make sure to verify commit signatures
+- **Releases** are transparent and built on GitHub CI. Make sure to verify [provenance](https://docs.npmjs.com/generating-provenance-statements) logs
+  - Use GitHub CLI to verify single-file builds:
+    `gh attestation verify --owner paulmillr noble-curves.js`
+- **Rare releasing** is followed to ensure less re-audit need for end-users
+- **Dependencies** are minimized and locked-down: any dependency could get hacked and users will be downloading malware with every install.
+  - We make sure to use as few dependencies as possible
+  - Automatic dep updates are prevented by locking-down version ranges; diffs are checked with `npm-diff`
+- **Dev Dependencies** are disabled for end-users; they are only used to develop / build the source code
+
+For this package, there is 1 dependency; and a few dev dependencies:
+
+- [noble-hashes](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-hashes) provides cryptographic hashing functionality
+- micro-bmark, micro-should and jsbt are used for benchmarking / testing / build tooling and developed by the same author
+- prettier, fast-check and typescript are used for code quality / test generation / ts compilation. It's hard to audit their source code thoroughly and fully because of their size
+
+### Randomness
+
+We're deferring to built-in
+[crypto.getRandomValues](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Crypto/getRandomValues)
+which is considered cryptographically secure (CSPRNG).
+
+In the past, browsers had bugs that made it weak: it may happen again.
+Implementing a userspace CSPRNG to get resilient to the weakness
+is even worse: there is no reliable userspace source of quality entropy.
+
+### Quantum computers
+
+Cryptographically relevant quantum computer, if built, will allow to
+break elliptic curve cryptography (both ECDSA / EdDSA & ECDH) using Shor's algorithm.
+
+Consider switching to newer / hybrid algorithms, such as SPHINCS+. They are available in
+[noble-post-quantum](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-post-quantum).
+
+NIST prohibits classical cryptography (RSA, DSA, ECDSA, ECDH) [after 2035](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2024/NIST.IR.8547.ipd.pdf). Australian ASD prohibits it [after 2030](https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/essential-cyber-security/ism/cyber-security-guidelines/guidelines-cryptography).
+
+## Speed
+
+```sh
+npm run bench:install && npm run bench
+```
+
+noble-curves spends 10+ ms to generate 20MB+ of base point precomputes.
+This is done **one-time** per curve.
+
+The generation is deferred until any method (pubkey, sign, verify) is called.
+User can force precompute generation by manually calling `Point.BASE.precompute(windowSize, false)`.
+Check out the source code.

+## Upgrading
+
+Supported node.js versions:
+
+- v2: v20.19+ (ESM-only)
+- v1: v14.21+ (ESM & CJS)
+
+### curves v1 => curves v2
+
+WIP. Changelog of v2, when upgrading from curves v1.
+
+### noble-secp256k1 v1 => curves v1
+
+Previously, the library was split into single-feature packages
+[noble-secp256k1](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-secp256k1),
+[noble-ed25519](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-ed25519) and
+[noble-bls12-381](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-bls12-381).
+
+Curves continue their original work. The single-feature packages changed their
+direction towards providing minimal 4kb implementations of cryptography,
+which means they have less features.
+
+- `getPublicKey`
+  - now produce 33-byte compressed signatures by default
+  - to use old behavior, which produced 65-byte uncompressed keys, set
+    argument `isCompressed` to `false`: `getPublicKey(priv, false)`
+- `sign`
+  - is now sync
+  - now returns `Signature` instance with `{ r, s, recovery }` properties
+  - `canonical` option was renamed to `lowS`
+  - `recovered` option has been removed because recovery bit is always returned now
+  - `der` option has been removed. There are 2 options:
+    1. Use compact encoding: `fromCompact`, `toCompactRawBytes`, `toCompactHex`.
+       Compact encoding is simply a concatenation of 32-byte r and 32-byte s.
+    2. If you must use DER encoding, switch to noble-curves (see above).
+- `verify`
+  - is now sync
+  - `strict` option was renamed to `lowS`
+- `getSharedSecret`
+  - now produce 33-byte compressed signatures by default
+  - to use old behavior, which produced 65-byte uncompressed keys, set
+    argument `isCompressed` to `false`: `getSharedSecret(a, b, false)`
+- `recoverPublicKey(msg, sig, rec)` was changed to `sig.recoverPublicKey(msg)`
+- `number` type for private keys have been removed: use `bigint` instead
+- `Point` (2d xy) has been changed to `ProjectivePoint` (3d xyz)
+- `utils` were split into `utils` (same api as in noble-curves) and
+  `etc` (`hmacSha256Sync` and others)
+
+### noble-ed25519 v1 => curves v1
+
+Upgrading from [@noble/ed25519](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-ed25519) 1.7:
+
+- Methods are now sync by default
+- `bigint` is no longer allowed in `getPublicKey`, `sign`, `verify`. Reason: ed25519 is LE, can lead to bugs
+- `Point` (2d xy) has been changed to `ExtendedPoint` (xyzt)
+- `Signature` was removed: just use raw bytes or hex now
+- `utils` were split into `utils` (same api as in noble-curves) and
+  `etc` (`sha512Sync` and others)
+- `getSharedSecret` was moved to `x25519` module
+- `toX25519` has been moved to `edwardsToMontgomeryPub` and `edwardsToMontgomeryPriv` methods
+
+### noble-bls12-381 => curves v1
+
+Upgrading from [@noble/bls12-381](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-bls12-381):
+
+- Methods and classes were renamed:
+  - PointG1 -> G1.Point, PointG2 -> G2.Point
+  - PointG2.fromSignature -> Signature.decode, PointG2.toSignature -> Signature.encode
+- Fp2 ORDER was corrected
+
+## Contributing & testing
