@mtcute/crypto-node

Native extension for NodeJS that improves performance of the most used cryptographic mode in Telegram (IGE), which is not implemented by OpenSSL.

Other modes used (i.e. CBC, CTR) and hashes are supported natively by OpenSSL, and they are faster than the custom implementation, so OpenSSL will be used for them.

Installation

You will need all the pre-requisites for node-gyp. Pre-built packages are currently not available.

Then, install the package as usual. The native library will be built automatically.

Usage

import { TelegramClient } from '@mtcute/client'
import { NodeNativeCryptoProvider } from '@mtcute/crypto-node'

const tg = new TelegramClient({
    ...,
    crypto: () => new NodeNativeCryptoProvider()
})
