Project mention: Forge: Native implementation of TLS in JavaScript for web apps | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-24
Project mention: It's the Job of My Dreams, but I'd Have to Write a Cover Letter, So Nevermind | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-08
Sorry, I install from the APK directly, available in the GitHub repo. I see someone already created an issue for it at https://github.com/padloc/padloc/issues/725 so thanks for bringing it up!
Project mention: Flagship Mastodon instance to require AI disclosure; bans AI-only accounts | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-18I'd be fine if "ID for the web" was implemented with privacypass https://privacypass.github.io/
Have you seen rando.js? It's a very similar library.
Project mention: A beginner's guide to constant-time cryptography (2017) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-22I noticed in July of 2022 that Go did exactly the vulnerable example and reported it to the security team.
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/53849
It was fixed as of Go 1.21 https://go.dev/doc/go1.21

The article cites JavaScript, which is not constant time. There's no sure way to do constant time operations in JavaScript and thus no secure way to do crypto directly in Javascript. Browsers like Firefox depend on low level calls which should be implemented in languages that are constant time capable.
JavaScript needs something like constant time WASM in order to do crypto securely, but seeing the only constant time WASM project on GitHub has only 16 stars and the last commit was 2 years ago, it doesn't appear to have much interest. https://github.com/WebAssembly/constant-time
However, for JavaScript, I recommend Paul's library Noble which is "hardened to be algorithmically constant time". It is by far the best library available for JavaScript. https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-secp256k1
