Ristretto255-based secure communication channels for Hypercore applications.

• Private Channels: ECDH-based secure communication between parties
• Public Namespaces: Public-key-only namespacing for broadcasting
• Hierarchical Organization: Nested namespace structures
• Cryptographic Verification: Schnorr signatures with ristretto255

import { writable, readable } from './index.js'
import crypto from 'hypercore-crypto'

// Generate key pairs
const alice = crypto.keyPair()
const bob = crypto.keyPair()

// Private channel: Bob can write to Alice
const lettersToAlice = writable('love letters', bob.secretKey, alice.publicKey)
const lettersFromBob = readable('love letters', bob.publicKey, alice.secretKey)

// Public namespace: Anyone can derive Alice's blog
const aliceBlog = writable('alice-blog', alice.secretKey)
const publicBlog = readable('alice-blog', alice.publicKey)

console.log('Private channel keys match:', lettersToAlice.key.equals(lettersFromBob.key))
console.log('Public namespace keys match:', aliceBlog.key.equals(publicBlog.key))

Creates a writable channel. If publicKey is provided, performs ECDH for private communication.

Creates a readable channel. If secretKey is provided, performs ECDH for private communication.

• Private Channel: writable(context, secretKey, publicKey) + readable(context, publicKey, secretKey)
• Public Namespace: writable(context, secretKey) + readable(context, publicKey)
• Personal Namespace: writable(context, secretKey) only
