I don't know of any npm packages.  If there are, they probably shell
out to `openssl` because:

  a) there is no support in node.js core for generating private keys
or certificates except for ephemeral Diffie-Hellman keys, and

  b) it's exceedingly difficult for native add-ons to link to the
bundled copy of OpenSSL.  We'll fix that - someday.
