simplito/elliptic-php
Pure-PHP elliptic curve cryptography library for PHP. Provides ECDSA signing/verification and key generation on common curves (incl. secp256k1) with utilities for points, keys, and encodings—useful for blockchain, JWT, and other crypto workflows without extensions.
This package cannot support any product decisions in its current state due to the unknown repository status. Critical cryptographic operations require verifiable code transparency, but without a public repository, Packagist listing, or audit history, it introduces unacceptable security risks. Using it for blockchain features (e.g., wallets, transaction signing) would endanger user assets and violate compliance standards. Security-critical decisions should only leverage vetted alternatives like web3p/ethereum-cryptography or paragonie/constant-time-base64.
Never adopt this package while its repository remains "unknown." It fails all baseline security criteria: no public code for review, no issue tracking, no versioned releases, and no Packagist integration. Only reconsider if the repository is made public (e.g., GitHub), published on Packagist, and undergoes third-party security audits for curves like secp256k1/ed25519. Even then, prioritize established alternatives with proven maintenance and community trust for production use.
We cannot recommend this package for any product initiative due to critical security risks from its unverified, private source code. Cryptographic libraries require absolute transparency—without public audits or community scrutiny, using it would expose our systems to potential backdoors or implementation flaws that could compromise user funds. Instead, we propose using trusted, actively maintained alternatives like web3p/ethereum-cryptography for Ethereum integrations or paragonie/constant-time-base64 for constant-time operations. This ensures compliance, reduces liability, and accelerates secure development without unnecessary risk.
