Key Generation

ECDH Key Pair Generation

async function generateECDHKeyPair() {
    try {
        // Primary: P-384 curve
        const keyPair = await crypto.subtle.generateKey(
            {
                name: 'ECDH',
                namedCurve: 'P-384' // secp384r1
            },

            ['deriveKey']
        );
        
        // Validate key generation
        await validateKeyPair(keyPair);
        return keyPair;
        
    } catch (p384Error) {
        // Fallback: P-256 curve
        return await crypto.subtle.generateKey(
            {
                name: 'ECDH',

            },
            false,
            ['deriveKey']
        );
    }
}

        {
            name: 'ECDSA',
            namedCurve: 'P-384'
        },
        false, // Non-extractable for security
        ['sign', 'verify']
    );
}

Non-Extractable Keys

All private keys generated with extractable: false
Hardware security module (HSM) storage when available
Keys cannot be exported from secure storage
Protection against memory dump attacks

    // Verify key algorithm and curve
    assert(keyPair.privateKey.algorithm.name === 'ECDH');
    assert(keyPair.privateKey.algorithm.namedCurve === 'P-384');

Enhanced Message Encryption

Message Structure

const enhancedMessage = {
    // Encrypted metadata (AES-256-GCM)
    metadataIv: [12 bytes],
    metadataData: [encrypted metadata],
    
    // Encrypted message content (AES-256-GCM)
    messageIv: [12 bytes], 
    messageData: [encrypted + padded content],
    
    // Authentication (HMAC-SHA-384)
    mac: [48 bytes],
    
    // Version and format
    version: "4.0",
    format: "enhanced"
};

Encryption Process

async function encryptMessage(message, encryptionKey, macKey, metadataKey, messageId, sequenceNumber) {
    // Step 1: Prepare message with padding
    const messageData = new TextEncoder().encode(message);
    const paddingSize = 16 - (messageData.length % 16);
    const paddedMessage = new Uint8Array(messageData.length + paddingSize);
    paddedMessage.set(messageData);
    paddedMessage.set(crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(paddingSize)), messageData.length);
    
    // Step 2: Generate IVs
    const messageIv = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(12));
    const metadataIv = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(12));
    
    // Step 3: Encrypt message content
    const encryptedMessage = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
        { name: 'AES-GCM', iv: messageIv },
        encryptionKey,
        paddedMessage
    );
    
    // Step 4: Prepare and encrypt metadata
    const metadata = {
        id: messageId,
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        sequenceNumber: sequenceNumber,
        originalLength: messageData.length,
        version: '4.0'
    };
    
    const metadataStr = JSON.stringify(sortObjectKeys(metadata));
    const encryptedMetadata = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
        { name: 'AES-GCM', iv: metadataIv },
        metadataKey,
        new TextEncoder().encode(metadataStr)
    );
    
    // Step 5: Create payload and compute MAC
    const payload = {
        messageIv: Array.from(messageIv),
        messageData: Array.from(new Uint8Array(encryptedMessage)),
        metadataIv: Array.from(metadataIv),
        metadataData: Array.from(new Uint8Array(encryptedMetadata)),
        version: '4.0'
    };
    
    const sortedPayload = sortObjectKeys(payload);
    const payloadStr = JSON.stringify(sortedPayload);
    
    const mac = await crypto.subtle.sign(
        'HMAC',
        macKey,
        new TextEncoder().encode(payloadStr)
    );
    
    payload.mac = Array.from(new Uint8Array(mac));
    
    return payload;
}

Nested Encryption Layer

Purpose and Implementation

async function applyNestedEncryption(data, nestedKey, counter) {
    // Create unique IV for each encryption
    const uniqueIV = new Uint8Array(12);
    uniqueIV.set(baseIV);
    uniqueIV[11] = (counter++) & 0xFF;
    
    // Apply additional AES-GCM encryption
    const encrypted = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
        { name: 'AES-GCM', iv: uniqueIV },
        nestedKey,
        data
    );
    
    // Combine IV and encrypted data
    const result = new Uint8Array(12 + encrypted.byteLength);
    result.set(uniqueIV, 0);
    result.set(new Uint8Array(encrypted), 12);
    
    return result.buffer;
}
