Node Forge Cryptography and TLS Library

Node Forge is a comprehensive JavaScript library providing native implementations of cryptographic tools, network transports (like TLS, HTTP, SSH), and PKI components. It supports a wide array of ciphers (AES, DES), message digests (SHA-1, SHA-256, MD5), and PKI standards (X.509, PKCS# series). The current stable version is 1.4.0, which continues to build on its CommonJS module structure for Node.js and UMD bundles for browser environments. Its key differentiators include its entirely JavaScript-native implementation, which avoids native dependencies, and its extensive feature set for both client-side and server-side cryptographic operations, from generating RSA key pairs to parsing X.509 certificates.
