Web Cryptography API

W3C Editor's Draft 22 August 2023

Abstract

This specification describes a JavaScript API for performing basic cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing, signature generation and verification, and encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes an API for applications to generate and/or manage the keying material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for this API range from user or service authentication, document or code signing, and the confidentiality and integrity of communications.

The Web Cryptography API defines a low-level interface to interacting with cryptographic key material that is managed or exposed by user agents. The API itself is agnostic of the underlying implementation of key storage, but provides a common set of interfaces that allow rich web applications to perform operations such as signature generation and verification, hashing and verification, encryption and decryption, without requiring access to the raw keying material.

Cryptographic transformations are exposed via the SubtleCrypto interface, which defines a set of methods for performing common cryptographic operations. In addition to operations such as signature generation and verification, hashing and verification, and encryption and decryption, the API provides interfaces for key generation, key derivation and key import and export.

This section is non-normative.

A web application may wish to extend or replace existing username/password based authentication schemes with authentication methods based on proving that the user has access to some secret keying material. Rather than using transport-layer authentication, such as TLS client certificates, the web application may prefer the richer user experience provided by authenticating within the application itself.

Using the Web Cryptography API, the application could locate suitable client keys, which may have been previously generated via the user agent or pre-provisioned out-of-band by the web application. It could then perform cryptographic operations such as decrypting an authentication challenge followed by signing an authentication response.

This exchange could be further strengthened by binding the authentication to the TLS session over which the client is authenticating, by deriving a key based on properties of the underlying transport.

If a user does not already have a key associated with their account, the web application could direct the user agent to either generate a new key or to re-use an existing key of the user's choice.

A web application may wish to limit the viewership of documents that contain sensitive or personal information, even when these documents have been securely received, such as over TLS.

Using the Web Cryptography API, the application could do so by encrypting the documents with a secret key, and then wrapping that key with the public keys associated with the authorized viewers. When a user agent navigates to such a web application, the application would send the encrypted form of the document. The user agent is then instructed to unwrap the encryption key, using the user's private key, and from there, decrypt and display the document.

A web application may wish to permit users to protect the confidentiality of data and documents stored with remote service providers prior to uploading.

Using the Web Cryptography API, the application may have a user select a private or secret key, optionally derive an encryption key from the selected key, encrypt the document, and then upload the encrypted data to the service provider using existing APIs.

This use case is similar to the Protected Document Exchange use case, with viewership of the document limited to the user themself.

A web application may wish to accept electronic signatures on documents, in lieu of requiring physical signatures.

Using the Web Cryptography API, the application may direct the user to select a key, which may have been pre-provisioned out-of-band, or generated specifically for the web application. Using this key, the application may perform a signing operation over some data, as proof that the user accepts the document.

A web application may wish to cache data locally, while ensuring that this data cannot be modified in an offline attack.

Using the Web Cryptography API, the application may use a public key contained within the application to verify the contents of the data cache. Previously, when data was added to the cache, it would have been signed by the server with the corresponding private key. By validating the signature when restoring data from the cache, the client ensures that the cached data has not been tampered with.

A web application may wish to employ message layer security using schemes such as off-the-record (OTR) messaging, even when these messages have been securely received, such as over TLS.

The Web Cryptography API enables OTR and similar message signing schemes, by allowing key agreement to be performed. The two parties can negotiate shared encryption keys and message authentication code (MAC) keys, to allow encryption and decryption of messages, and to prevent tampering.

A web application may wish to interact with the structures and message formats defined by the IETF JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) Working Group.

Using the Web Cryptography API, the application may read and import keys encoded in the JSON key format (JWK), validate messages that have been integrity protected using digital signatures or MACs (JWS), or decrypt messages that have been encrypted (JWE).

As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.

The key words MUST, REQUIRED, and SHALL in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

The following conformance classes are defined by this specification:

conforming user agent: A user agent is considered to be a conforming user agent if it satisfies all of the MUST-, REQUIRED- and SHALL-level criteria in this specification that apply to implementations. This specification uses both the terms "conforming user agent" and "user agent" to refer to this product class.

Conformance requirements phrased as algorithms or specific steps may be implemented in any manner, so long as the end result is equivalent. (In particular, the algorithms defined in this specification are intended to be easy to follow, and not intended to be performant.)

User agents that use ECMAScript to implement the APIs defined in this specification MUST implement them in a manner consistent with the ECMAScript Bindings defined in the Web IDL specification [WebIDL] as this specification uses that specification and terminology.

Unless otherwise stated, string comparisons are done in a case-sensitive manner. String literals in this specification written in monospace font like "this" do not include the enclosing quotes.

Vendor-specific proprietary extensions to this specification are strongly discouraged. Authors must not use such extensions, as doing so reduces interoperability and fragments the user base, allowing only users of specific user agents to access the content in question.

If vendor-specific extensions are needed, the members should be prefixed by vendor-specific strings to prevent clashes with future versions of this specification. Extensions must be defined so that the use of extensions neither contradicts nor causes the non-conformance of functionality defined in the specification.

When vendor-neutral extensions to this specification are needed, either this specification can be updated accordingly, or an extension specification can be written that overrides the requirements in this specification. When someone applying this specification to their activities decides that they will recognize the requirements of such an extension specification, it becomes an applicable specification for the purposes of conformance requirements in this specification. Applicable specifications defined by the W3C Web Cryptography Working Group are listed in the table below.

Specification

Reference

Note

Readers are advised to consult the errata to this specification for updates to the table above.

This section is non-normative.

The specification attempts to focus on the common functionality and features between various platform-specific or standardized cryptographic APIs, and avoid features and functionality that are specific to one or two implementations. As such this API allows key generation, management, and exchange with a level of abstraction that avoids developers needing to care about the implementation of the underlying key storage. The API is focused specifically around CryptoKey objects, as an abstraction for the underlying raw cryptographic keying material. The intent behind this is to allow an API that is generic enough to allow conforming user agents to expose keys that are stored and managed directly by the user agent, that may be stored or managed using isolated storage APIs such as per-user key stores provided by some operating systems, or within key storage devices such as secure elements, while allowing rich web applications to manipulate the keys and without requiring the web application be aware of the nature of the underlying key storage.

Because the underlying cryptographic implementations will vary between conforming user agents, and may be subject to local policy, including but not limited to concerns such as government or industry regulation, security best practices, intellectual property concerns, and constrained operational environments, this specification does not dictate a mandatory set of algorithms that MUST be implemented. Instead, it defines a common set of bindings that can be used in an algorithm-independent manner, a common framework for discovering if a user agent or key handle supports the underlying algorithm, and a set of conformance requirements for the behaviors of individual algorithms, if implemented.

This API, while allowing applications to generate, retrieve, and manipulate keying material, does not specifically address the provisioning of keys in particular types of key storage, such as secure elements or smart cards. This is due to such provisioning operations often being burdened with vendor-specific details that make defining a vendor-agnostic interface an unsuitably unbounded task. Additionally, this API does not deal with or address the discovery of cryptographic modules, as such concepts are dependent upon the underlying user agent and are not concepts that are portable between common operating systems, cryptographic libraries, and implementations.

This section is non-normative.

This specification assumes, but does not require, that conforming user agents do not and will not be directly implementing cryptographic operations within the user agent itself. Historically, many user agents have deferred cryptographic operations, such as those used within TLS, to existing APIs that are available as part of the underlying operating system or to third-party modules that are managed independently of the user agent.

The CryptoKey object represents the bridge between the JavaScript execution environment and these underlying libraries, through the use of the internal slot named [[handle]]. The handle represents an opaque type that is implementation specific, which may not be represented within a JavaScript type, nor is it ever exposed to script authors. In this way, the CryptoKey object is the conceptual equivalent to the JavaScript executing environment as the [[handle]] is to the underlying cryptographic implementation.

These APIs are traditionally built around a notion of cryptographic providers, an abstraction for a specific implementation of a set of algorithms. The operating system or library may come with a default provider, and users are frequently allowed to add additional providers, reconfigure the set of enabled algorithms, or otherwise customize how cryptographic services are provided.

While it is assumed that most user agents will be interacting with a cryptographic provider that is implemented purely in software, it is not required by this specification. As a result, the capabilities of some implementations may be limited by the capabilities of the underlying hardware, and, depending on how the user has configured the underlying cryptographic library, this may be entirely opaque to the User Agent.

This specification does not explicitly provide any new storage mechanisms for CryptoKey objects. Instead, by defining serialization and deserialization steps for CryptoKey objects, any existing or future web storage mechanisms that support storing serializable objects can be used to store CryptoKey objects.

In practice, it is expected that most authors will make use of the Indexed Database API [INDEXEDDB], which allows associative storage of key/value pairs, where the key is some string identifier meaningful to the application, and the value is a CryptoKey object. This allows the storage and retrieval of key material, without ever exposing that key material to the application or the JavaScript environment. Additionally, this allows authors the full flexibility to store any additional metadata with the CryptoKey itself.

This section is non-normative.

By not providing an explicit storage mechanism, this specification assumes that CryptoKey objects are scoped to the current execution environment and any storage mechanisms available to that environment (e.g. Indexed Database API). Application authors rely upon this for the security of their applications; two origins with the same CryptoKey object have full access to the underlying key, and as such, messages from these applications cannot be distinguished, and messages sent to these applications can be fully recovered. Implementors should ensure that no CryptoKey objects are shared between two origins unless the author has explicitly chosen to share (e.g., such as through the use of postMessage)

A number of algorithms specified within this specification perform computationally intensive work, such as the generation of significantly large prime numbers, or through repeated iterations of a particular operation. As such, hostile applications may attempt to misuse this API and attempt to cause significant amount of work to be performed by an implementation, denying access or services to other applications that are executing. Implementations should take steps to mitigate these risks, such as limiting the amount of operations an implementation performs concurrently, requiring user consent for operations that may be known to be disruptive for the executing environment, or defining device-specific limits on attributes such as key sizes or iteration counts.

This specification includes descriptions for a variety of cryptographic operations, some of which have known weaknesses when used inappropriately. Application developers must take care and review appropriate and current cryptographic literature, to understand and mitigate such issues. In general, application developers are strongly discouraged from inventing new cryptographic protocols; as with all applications, users of this specification will be best served through the use of existing protocols, of which this specification provides the necessary building blocks to implement.

In order to use the APIs defined in this specification to provide any meaningful cryptographic assurances, authors must be familiar with existing threats to web applications, as well as the underlying security model employed. Conceptually, issues such as script injection are the equivalent to remote code execution in other operating environments, and allowing hostile script to be injected may allow for the exfiltration of keys or data. Script injection may come from other applications, for which the judicious use of Content Security Policy may mitigate, or it may come from hostile network intermediaries, for which the use of Transport Layer Security may mitigate.

This specification does not define any specific mechanisms for the storage of cryptographic keys. By default, unless specific effort is taken by the author to persist keys, such as through the use of the Indexed Database API, keys created with this API will only be valid for the duration of the current page (e.g. until a navigation event). Authors that wish to use the same key across different pages or multiple browsing sessions must employ existing web storage technologies. Authors should be aware of the security assumptions of these technologies, such as the same-origin security model; that is, any application that shares the same scheme, host, and port have access to the same storage partition, even if other information, such as the path, may differ. Authors may explicitly choose to relax this security through the use of inter-origin sharing, such as postMessage.

Authors should be aware that this specification places no normative requirements on implementations as to how the underlying cryptographic key material is stored. The only requirement is that key material is not exposed to script, except through the use of the exportKey and wrapKey operations. In particular, it does not guarantee that the underlying cryptographic key material will not be persisted to disk, possibly unencrypted, nor that it will be inaccessible to users or other applications running with the same privileges as the User Agent. Any application or user that has access to the device storage may be able to recover the key material, even through scripts may be prohibited.

This specification places no normative requirements on how implementations handle key material once all references to it go away. That is, conforming user agents are not required to zeroize key material, and it may still be accessible on device storage or device memory, even after all references to the CryptoKey have gone away.

Applications may share a CryptoKey object across security boundaries, such as origins, through the use of the structured clone algorithm and APIs such as postMessage. While access to the underlying cryptographic key material may be restricted, based upon the extractable attribute, once a key is shared with a destination origin, the source origin can not later restrict or revoke access to the key. As such, authors must be careful to ensure they trust the destination origin to take the same mitigations against hostile script that the source origin employs. Further, in the event of script injection on the source origin, attackers may post the key to an origin under attacker control. Any time that the user agent visits the attacker's origin, the user agent may be directed to perform cryptographic operations using that key, such as the decryption of existing messages or the creation of new, fraudulent messages.

Authors should be aware that users may, at any time, choose to clear the storage associated with an origin, potentially destroying keys. Applications that are meant to provide long-term storage, such as on the server, should consider techniques such as key escrow to prevent such data from being inaccessible. Authors should not presume that keys will be available indefinitely.

Users of applications that employ the APIs defined in this specification should be aware that these applications will have full access to all messages exchanged, regardless of the cryptography employed. That is, for messages that are encrypted, applications that use these APIs will have full access to the decrypted message as well.

This section is non-normative.

Fingerprinting: By exposing additional APIs that reflect capabilities of the underlying platform, this specification may allow malicious applications to determine or distinguish different user agents or devices.
Super-cookies: This specification does not provide any means for malicious applications to create identifiers that outlive existing web storage technologies. However, care must be taken when introducing future revisions to this API or additional cryptographic capabilities, such as those that are hardware backed (e.g.: smart cards or Trusted Platform Modules). Considering that such storage is designed to prevent any two users from having the same underlying key data, such APIs may represent a real risk of being used as a permanent identifier against the user's wishes.
Use of randomUUID as user ID: randomUUID is useful for generating user IDs, but does not directly give any ability to generate global identifiers.

This specification relies on underlying specifications.

DOM: A conforming user agent MUST support at least the subset of the functionality defined in DOM that this specification relies upon; in particular, it MUST support Promises and DOMException. [DOM]
HTML: A conforming user agent MUST support at least the subset of the functionality defined in HTML that this specification relies upon; in particular, it MUST support the ArrayBufferView typedef and serializable objects. [HTML]
Web IDL: A conforming user agent MUST be a conforming implementation of the IDL fragments in this specification, as described in the Web IDL specification. [WebIDL]

The terms ArrayBuffer, ArrayBufferView, and serializable objects, are defined by the HTML specification [HTML].

The terms DOMString and BufferSource are defined in [WEBIDL].

An octet string is an ordered sequence of zero or more integers, each in the range 0 to 255 inclusive.

An octet string containing a bit string b is the octet string obtained by first appending zero or more bits of value zero to b such that the length of the resulting bit string is minimal and an integer multiple of 8 and then considering each consecutive sequence of 8 bits in that string as a binary integer, most significant bit first.

When this specification says to convert a non-negative integer i to an octet string of length n, where n * 8 is greater than the logarithm to base 2 of i, the user agent must first calculate the binary representation of i, most significant bit first, prefix this with sufficient zero bits to form a bit string of length n * 8, and then return the octet string formed by considering each consecutive sequence of 8 bits in that bit string as a binary integer, most significant bit first.

Comparing two strings in a case-sensitive manner means comparing them exactly, code point for code point.

Comparing two strings in a ASCII case-insensitive manner means comparing them exactly, code point for code point, except that the codepoints in the range U+0041 .. U+005A (i.e. LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A to LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z) and the corresponding codepoints in the range U+0061 .. U+007A (i.e. LATIN SMALL LETTER A to LATIN SMALL LETTER Z) are also considered to match.

When this specification says to terminate the algorithm, the user agent must terminate the algorithm after finishing the step it is on. The algorithm referred to is the set of specification-defined processing steps, rather than the underlying cryptographic algorithm that may be in the midst of processing.

When this specification says to parse an ASN.1 structure, the user agent must perform the following steps:

Let data be a sequence of bytes to be parsed.
Let structure be the ASN.1 structure to be parsed.
Let exactData be an optional boolean value. If it is not supplied, let it be initialized to true.
Parse data according to the Distinguished Encoding Rules of [X690], using structure as the ASN.1 structure to be decoded.
If exactData was specified, and all of the bytes of data were not consumed during the parsing phase, then throw a DataError.
Return the parsed ASN.1 structure.

When this specification says to parse a subjectPublicKeyInfo, the user agent must parse an ASN.1 structure, with data set to the sequence of bytes to be parsed, structure as the ASN.1 structure of subjectPublicKeyInfo, as specified in [RFC5280], and exactData set to true.

When this specification says to parse a PrivateKeyInfo, the user agent must parse an ASN.1 structure with data set to the sequence of bytes to be parsed, structure as the ASN.1 structure of PrivateKeyInfo, as specified in [RFC5208], and exactData set to true.

When this specification says to parse a JWK, the user agent must run the following steps:

Let data be the sequence of bytes to be parsed.
Let json be the Unicode string that results from interpreting data according to UTF-8.
Convert json to UTF-16.
Let result be the object literal that results from executing the JSON.parse internal function in the context of a new global object, with text argument set to a JavaScript String containing json.
Let key be the result of converting result to the IDL dictionary type of JsonWebKey.
If the kty field of key is not defined, then throw a DataError.
Return key.

When this specification states to supply the contents of an ArrayBuffer named data to an underlying cryptographic implementation, the User Agent shall supply a contiguous sequence of bytes that is equal to the result of getting a copy of the bytes held data.

When this specification says to calculate the usage intersection of two sequences, a and b the result shall be a sequence containing each recognized key usage value that appears in both a and b, in the order listed in the list of recognized key usage values, where a value is said to appear in a sequence if an element of the sequence exists that is a case-sensitive string match for that value.

When this specification says to calculate the normalized value of a usages list, usages the result shall be the usage intersection of usages and a sequence containing all recognized key usage values.

When this specification refers to the cached ECMAScript object associated with an internal slot [[slot]] of object, the user agent must run the following steps:

If the [[|slot|_cached]] internal slot of object is undefined:

Set the [[|slot|_cached]] internal slot of object to the result of performing type conversion to an ECMAScript object as defined in [WebIDL] to the contents of the [[slot]] internal slot of object.
Return the contents of the [[|slot|_cached]] internal slot of object.

The Crypto interface represents an interface to general purpose cryptographic functionality including a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator seeded with truly random values.

WebIDLpartial interface mixin WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope {
  [SameObject] readonly attribute Crypto crypto;
};

[Exposed=(Window,Worker)]
interface Crypto {
  [SecureContext] readonly attribute SubtleCrypto subtle;
  ArrayBufferView getRandomValues(ArrayBufferView array);
  [SecureContext] DOMString randomUUID();
};

Note

Implementations should generate cryptographically strong random values using well-established cryptographic pseudo-random number generators seeded with high-quality entropy, such as from an operating-system entropy source (e.g., "/dev/urandom"). This specification provides no lower-bound on the information theoretic entropy present in cryptographically strong random values, but implementations should make a best effort to provide as much entropy as practicable.

Note

This interface defines a synchronous method for obtaining cryptographically strong random values. While some devices and implementations may support truly random cryptographic number generators or provide interfaces that block when there is insufficient entropy, implementations are discouraged from using these sources when implementing getRandomValues, both for performance and to avoid depleting the system of entropy. Instead, these sources should be used to seed a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator that can then return suitable values efficiently.

The getRandomValues method generates cryptographically strong random values. It must act as follows:

If array is not an Int8Array, Uint8Array, Uint8ClampedArray, Int16Array, Uint16Array, Int32Array, Uint32Array, BigInt64Array, or BigUint64Array, then throw a TypeMismatchError and terminate the algorithm.
If the byteLength of array is greater than 65536, throw a QuotaExceededError and terminate the algorithm.
Overwrite all elements of array with cryptographically strong random values of the appropriate type.
Return array.

Note

Do not generate keys using the getRandomValues method. Use the generateKey method instead.

The randomUUID method generates a new version 4 UUID and returns its namespace specific string representation as described in section 3 of [RFC4122]. To generate a random UUID:

Let bytes be a byte sequence of length 16.
Fill bytes with cryptographically secure random bytes.
Set the 4 most significant bits of bytes[6], which represent the UUID version, to 0100.
Set the 2 most significant bits of bytes[8], which represent the UUID variant, to 10.
Return the string concatenation of «
1. hexadecimal representation of bytes[0], hexadecimal representation of bytes[1], hexadecimal representation of bytes[2], hexadecimal representation of bytes[3],
2. "-",
3. hexadecimal representation of bytes[4], hexadecimal representation of bytes[5],
4. "-",
5. hexadecimal representation of bytes[6], hexadecimal representation of bytes[7],
6. "-",
7. hexadecimal representation of bytes[8], hexadecimal representation of bytes[9],
8. "-",
9. hexadecimal representation of bytes[10], hexadecimal representation of bytes[11], hexadecimal representation of bytes[12], hexadecimal representation of bytes[13], hexadecimal representation of bytes[14], hexadecimal representation of bytes[15]
».

For the steps described in the algorithm to generate a random UUID, the hexadecimal representation of a byte value is the two-character string created by expressing value in hexadecimal using ASCII lower hex digits, left-padded with "0" to reach two ASCII lower hex digits.

The subtle attribute provides an instance of the SubtleCrypto interface which provides low-level cryptographic primitives and algorithms.

The Algorithm object is a dictionary object [WEBIDL] which is used to specify an algorithm and any additional parameters required to fully specify the desired operation.

WebIDLtypedef (object or DOMString) AlgorithmIdentifier;

typedef AlgorithmIdentifier HashAlgorithmIdentifier;

dictionary Algorithm {
  required DOMString name;
};

name: The name of the registered algorithm to use.

The KeyAlgorithm dictionary represents information about the contents of a given CryptoKey object.

WebIDLdictionary KeyAlgorithm {
  required DOMString name;
};

This section is non-normative.

The KeyAlgorithm dictionary is provided to aid in documenting how fixed, public properties of a CryptoKey are reflected back to an application. The actual dictionary type is never exposed to applications.

name: The name of the algorithm used to generate the CryptoKey

The CryptoKey object represents an opaque reference to keying material that is managed by the user agent.

WebIDLenum KeyType { "public", "private", "secret" };

enum KeyUsage { "encrypt", "decrypt", "sign", "verify", "deriveKey", "deriveBits", "wrapKey", "unwrapKey" };

[SecureContext,Exposed=(Window,Worker),Serializable]
interface CryptoKey {
  readonly attribute KeyType type;
  readonly attribute boolean extractable;
  readonly attribute object algorithm;
  readonly attribute object usages;
};

This section is non-normative.

This specification provides a uniform interface for many different kinds of keying material managed by the user agent. This may include keys that have been generated by the user agent, derived from other keys by the user agent, imported to the user agent through user actions or using this API, pre-provisioned within software or hardware to which the user agent has access or made available to the user agent in other ways. The term key refers broadly to any keying material including actual keys for cryptographic operations and secret values obtained within key derivation or exchange operations.

The CryptoKey object is not required to directly interface with the underlying key storage mechanism, and may instead simply be a reference for the user agent to understand how to obtain the keying material when needed, e.g. when performing a cryptographic operation.

KeyType: The type of a key. The recognized key type values are "public", "private" and "secret". Opaque keying material, including that used for symmetric algorithms, is represented by secret, while keys used as part of asymmetric algorithms composed of public/private keypairs will be either public or private.
KeyUsage: A type of operation that may be performed using a key. The recognized key usage values are encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify, deriveKey, deriveBits, wrapKey and unwrapKey.

Every CryptoKey object has a set of internal slots that store information about the key. These slots are not exposed as part of this specification; they represent internal state that an implementation uses to implement this specification. The notational convention used in [ECMA-262] is re-used here; internal slots are identified by names enclosed in double square brackets [[ ]].

All CryptoKey objects have internal slots named [[type]], [[extractable]], [[algorithm]], [[algorithm_cached]], [[usages]], [[usages_cached]], and [[handle]].

The contents of the [[algorithm]] internal slot shall be, or be derived from, a KeyAlgorithm. The contents of the [[usages]] internal slot shall be of type Sequence<KeyUsage>.

Note

The [[handle]] slot is an opaque type that contains whatever data the underlying cryptographic implementation uses to represent a logical key. Different cryptographic implementations may use different types, ranging from opaque identifiers represented as integers, pointer types, or structures that provide identifying information. These handles are never exposed to applications.

type: Reflects the [[type]] internal slot, which contains the type of the underlying key.
extractable: Reflects the [[extractable]] internal slot, which indicates whether or not the raw keying material may be exported by the application.
algorithm: Returns the cached ECMAScript object associated with the [[algorithm]] internal slot.
usages: Returns the cached ECMAScript object associated with the [[usages]] internal slot, which indicates which cryptographic operations are permissible to be used with this key.

CryptoKey objects are serializable objects. Their serialization steps, given value and serialized, are:

Set serialized.[[Type]] to the [[type]] internal slot of value.
Set serialized.[[Extractable]] to the [[extractable]] internal slot of value.
Set serialized.[[Algorithm]] to the sub-serialization of the [[algorithm]] internal slot of value.
Set serialized.[[Usages]] to the sub-serialization of the [[usages]] internal slot of value.
Set serialized.[[Handle]] to the [[handle]] internal slot of value.

Their deserialization steps, given serialized and value, are:

Initialize the [[type]] internal slot of value to serialized.[[Type]].
Initialize the [[extractable]] internal slot of value to serialized.[[Extractable]].
Initialize the [[algorithm]] internal slot of value to the sub-deserialization of serialized.[[Algorithm]].
Initialize the [[usages]] internal slot of value to the sub-deserialization of serialized.[[Usages]].
Initialize the [[handle]] internal slot of value to serialized.[[Handle]].

Note

When deserializing a serialized CryptoKey object, it is important that the object is not deserialized as a different type. This is normatively required by the definition of the deserialization steps, but it merits specific attention, as such deserialization may expose the contents of the key material, which in some cases (such as when the [[extractable]] internal slot is false) should not be exposed to applications.

The SubtleCrypto interface provides a set of methods for dealing with low-level cryptographic primitives and algorithms.

Note

The SubtleCrypto interface is named "SubtleCrypto" to reflect the fact that many of these algorithms have subtle usage requirements in order to provide the required algorithmic security guarantees.

For example, the direct use of an unauthenticated encryption scheme, such as AES in counter mode, gives potential attackers the ability to manipulate bits in the output by manipulating bits in the input, compromising the integrity of the message. However, AES-CTR can be used securely in combination with other cryptographic primitives, such as message authentication codes, to ensure the integrity of the protected message, but only when the message authentication code is constructed over the encrypted message and IV.

Developers making use of the SubtleCrypto interface are expected to be aware of the security concerns associated with both the design and implementation of the various algorithms provided. The raw algorithms are provided in order to allow developers maximum flexibility in implementing a variety of protocols and applications, each of which may represent the composition and security parameters in a unique manner that necessitate the use of the raw algorithms.

KeyFormat

Specifies a serialization format for a key. The recognized key format values are:

raw: An unformatted sequence of bytes. Intended for secret keys.
pkcs8: The DER encoding of the PrivateKeyInfo structure from [RFC5208].
spki: The DER encoding of the SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure from [RFC5280].
jwk: The key is a JsonWebKey dictionary encoded as a JavaScript object

Unless otherwise stated, objects created by the methods defined in this section shall be associated with the relevant realm of this.

Note

Support of "raw" key formats is encouraged for interoperability. Web developers should consult the test-suite for detailed information on implementations support of other key formats.

Note

When invoked, the wrapKey method MUST perform the following steps:

Let format, key, wrappingKey and algorithm be the format, key, wrappingKey and wrapAlgorithm parameters passed to the wrapKey() method, respectively.
Let normalizedAlgorithm be the result of normalizing an algorithm, with alg set to algorithm and op set to "wrapKey".
If an error occurred, let normalizedAlgorithm be the result of normalizing an algorithm, with alg set to algorithm and op set to "encrypt".

Note

Because the wrapKey method effectively exports the key, only keys marked as extractable may be wrapped. In particular, this means that this API cannot create a wrapped JWK key that is marked as non-extractable using the ext JWK member.

However, the unwrapKey method does support the JsonWebKey/ext}} JWK member, so that wrapped non-extractable keys created elsewhere, for example by a server, can be unwrapped using this API.
Let key be the result of performing the export key operation specified the [[algorithm]] internal slot of key using key and format.
If format is equal to the strings "raw", "pkcs8", or "spki":

2. Let json be the result of representing key as a UTF-16 string conforming to the JSON grammar; for example, by executing the JSON.stringify algorithm specified in [ECMA-262] in the context of a new global object.
3. Let bytes be the result of UTF-8 encoding json.
Note

The key wrapping operations for some algorithms place constraints on the payload size. For example AES-KW requires the payload to be a multiple of 8 bytes in length and RSA-OAEP places a restriction on the length. For key formats that offer flexibility in serialization of a given key (for example JWK), implementations may choose to adapt the serialization to the constraints of the wrapping algorithm. This is why JSON.stringify is not normatively required, as otherwise it would prohibit implementations from introducing added padding.
If normalizedAlgorithm supports the wrap key operation:

Let result be the result of performing the wrap key operation specified by normalizedAlgorithm using algorithm, wrappingKey as key and bytes as plaintext.

Otherwise, if normalizedAlgorithm supports the encrypt operation:

Let result be the result of performing the encrypt operation specified by normalizedAlgorithm using algorithm, wrappingKey as key and bytes as plaintext.

Otherwise:

throw a NotSupportedError.
Resolve promise with result.

Note

Support of "raw" key formats is encouraged for interoperability. Web developers should consult the test-suite for detailed information on implementations support of other key formats.

When invoked, the unwrapKey method MUST perform the following steps:

Let format, unwrappingKey, algorithm, unwrappedKeyAlgorithm, extractable and usages, be the format, unwrappingKey, unwrapAlgorithm, unwrappedKeyAlgorithm, extractable and keyUsages parameters passed to the unwrapKey() method, respectively.
Let wrappedKey be the result of getting a copy of the bytes held by the wrappedKey parameter passed to the unwrapKey() method.
Let normalizedAlgorithm be the result of normalizing an algorithm, with alg set to algorithm and op set to "unwrapKey".

If an error occurred, return a Promise rejected with normalizedAlgorithm.

If the name member of normalizedAlgorithm is not equal to the name attribute of the [[algorithm]] internal slot of unwrappingKey then throw an InvalidAccessError.
If the [[usages]] internal slot of unwrappingKey does not contain an entry that is "unwrapKey", then throw an InvalidAccessError.
If normalizedAlgorithm supports an unwrap key operation:

Let key be the result of performing the unwrap key operation specified by normalizedAlgorithm using algorithm, unwrappingKey as key and wrappedKey as ciphertext.

Otherwise, if normalizedAlgorithm supports a decrypt operation:

Let key be the result of performing the decrypt operation specified by normalizedAlgorithm using algorithm, unwrappingKey as key and wrappedKey as ciphertext.

Otherwise:

throw a NotSupportedError.
If format is equal to the strings "raw", "pkcs8", or "spki":

Set bytes be set to key.

If format is equal to the string "jwk":

Let bytes be the result of executing the parse a JWK algorithm, with key as the data to be parsed.

Note

Support of "raw" key formats is encouraged for interoperability. Web developers should consult the test-suite for detailed information on implementations support of other key formats.

The methods of the SubtleCrypto interface return errors by rejecting the returned promise with a predefined exception defined in ECMAScript [ECMA-262] or DOMException. The following predefined exceptions are used: TypeError. The following DOMException types from [DOM] are used:

Name	Description
`NotSupportedError`	The algorithm is not supported
`SyntaxError`	A required parameter was missing or out-of-range
`InvalidAccessError`	The requested operation is not valid for the provided key
`DataError`	Data provided to an operation does not meet requirements
`OperationError`	The operation failed for an operation-specific reason

When this specification says to throw an error, the user agent must throw an error as described in [WebIDL]. When this occurs in a sub-algorithm, this results in termination of execution of the sub-algorithm and all ancestor algorithms until one is reached that explicitly describes procedures for catching exceptions. The error object thrown shall be associated with the relevant realm of this.

The JsonWebKey dictionary provides a way to represent and exchange cryptographic keys represented by the JSON Web Key [JWK] structure, while allowing native and efficient use within Web Cryptography API applications.

The members of the RsaOtherPrimesInfo are defined in Section 6.3.2.7 of JSON Web Algorithms.

WebIDLtypedef Uint8Array BigInteger;

The BigInteger typedef is a Uint8Array that holds an arbitrary magnitude unsigned integer in big-endian order. Values read from the API SHALL have minimal typed array length (that is, at most 7 leading zero bits, except the value 0 which shall have length 8 bits). The API SHALL accept values with any number of leading zero bits, including the empty array, which represents zero.

Note

Since the integer is unsigned, the highest order bit is NOT a sign bit. Implementors should take care when mapping to big integer implementations that expected signed integers.

WebIDLdictionary CryptoKeyPair {
  CryptoKey publicKey;
  CryptoKey privateKey;
};

The CryptoKeyPair dictionary represents an asymmetric key pair that is comprised of both public (publicKey) and private (privateKey) keys.

This section is non-normative.

In addition to providing a common interface to perform cryptographic operations, by way of the SubtleCrypto interface, this specification also provides descriptions for a variety of algorithms that authors may wish to use and that User Agents may choose to implement. This includes a selection of commonly-deployed symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, key derivation mechanisms, and methods for wrapping and unwrapping keys. Further, this specification defines a process to allow additional specifications to introduce additional cryptographic algorithms.

Every cryptographic algorithm defined for use with the Web Cryptography API MUST have a unique name, referred to as its recognized algorithm name, such that no other specification defines the same case-insensitive string for use with the Web Cryptography API.

Every cryptographic algorithm defined for use with the Web Cryptography API has a list of supported operations, which are a set of sub-algorithms to be invoked by the SubtleCrypto interface in order to perform the desired cryptographic operation. This specification makes use of the following operations:

encrypt
decrypt
sign
verify
digest
deriveBits
wrapKey
unwrapKey
generateKey
importKey
exportKey
get key length

If a given algorithm specification does not list a particular operation as supported, or explicitly lists an operation as not-supported, then the User Agent MUST behave as if the invocation of the sub-algorithm threw a NotSupportedError.

Every cryptographic algorithm defined for use with the Web Cryptography API MUST define, for every supported operation, the IDL type to use for algorithm normalization, as well as the IDL type or types of the return values of the sub-algorithms.

Every cryptographic algorithm definition within this specification employs the following specification conventions. A section, titled "Registration", will include the recognized algorithm name. Additionally, it includes a table, which will list each of the supported operations as rows, identified by the Operation column. The contents of the Parameters column for a given row will contain the IDL type to use for algorithm normalization for that operation, and the contents of the Result column for that row indicate the IDL type that results from performing the supported operation.

If a conforming User Agent implements an algorithm, it MUST implement all of the supported operations and MUST return the IDL type specified.

Additionally, upon initialization, conforming User Agents must perform the define an algorithm steps for each of the supported operations, registering their IDL parameter type as indicated.

Unless otherwise stated, objects created by the operations defined in this specification shall be associated with the relevant realm of this.

This section is non-normative.

The AlgorithmIdentifier typedef permits algorithms to either be specified as a DOMString or an object. The usage of DOMString is to permit authors a short-hand for noting algorithms that have no parameters (e.g. SHA-1). The usage of object is to allow an Algorithm (or appropriate subclass) to be specified, which contains all of the associated parameters for an object.

Because of this, it's necessary to define the algorithm for converting an AlgorithmIdentifier into an appropriate dictionary that is usable with this API. This algorithm must be extensible, so as to allow new cryptographic algorithms to be added, and consistent, so that Web IDL type mapping can occur before any control is returned to the calling script, which would potentially allow the mutation of parameters or the script environment.

This specification makes use of an internal object, supportedAlgorithms. This internal object is not exposed to applications.

Because this value is not exposed to applications, the exact type is not specified. It is only required to behave as an associative container of key/value pairs, where comparisons of keys are performed in a case-sensitive manner.

The initial contents of this internal object are as follows:

For each value, v in the List of supported operations, set the v key of the internal object supportedAlgorithms to a new associative container.

The define an algorithm algorithm is used by specification authors to indicate how a user agent should normalize arguments for a particular algorithm. Its input is an algorithm name alg, represented as a DOMString, operation name op, represented as a DOMString, and desired IDL dictionary type type. The algorithm behaves as follows:

Let registeredAlgorithms be the associative container stored at the op key of supportedAlgorithms.
Set the alg key of registeredAlgorithms to the IDL dictionary type type.

The normalize an algorithm algorithm defines a process for coercing inputs to a targeted IDL dictionary type, after Web IDL conversion has occurred. It is designed to be extensible, to allow future specifications to define additional algorithms, as well as safe for use with Promises. Its input is an operation name op and an AlgorithmIdentifier alg. Its output is either an IDL dictionary type or an error. It behaves as follows:

If alg is an instance of a DOMString:

Return the result of running the normalize an algorithm algorithm, with the alg set to a new Algorithm dictionary whose name attribute is alg, and with the op set to op.

If alg is an object:

Let registeredAlgorithms be the associative container stored at the op key of supportedAlgorithms.
Let initialAlg be the result of converting the ECMAScript object represented by alg to the IDL dictionary type Algorithm, as defined by [WebIDL].
If an error occurred, return the error and terminate this algorithm.
Let algName be the value of the name attribute of initialAlg.
If registeredAlgorithms contains a key that is a case-insensitive string match for algName:
1. Set algName to the value of the matching key.
2. Let desiredType be the IDL dictionary type stored at algName in registeredAlgorithms.
Otherwise:

Return a new NotSupportedError and terminate this algorithm.
Let normalizedAlgorithm be the result of converting the ECMAScript object represented by alg to the IDL dictionary type desiredType, as defined by [WebIDL].
Set the name attribute of normalizedAlgorithm to algName.
If an error occurred, return the error and terminate this algorithm.
Let dictionaries be a list consisting of the IDL dictionary type desiredType and all of desiredType's inherited dictionaries, in order from least to most derived.
For each dictionary dictionary in dictionaries:
1. For each dictionary member member declared on dictionary, in order:
  1. Let key be the identifier of member.
  2. Let idlValue be the value of the dictionary member with key name of key on normalizedAlgorithm.
  3. If member is of the type BufferSource and is present:
    
    Set the dictionary member on normalizedAlgorithm with key name key to the result of getting a copy of the bytes held by idlValue, replacing the current value.
    
    If member is of the type HashAlgorithmIdentifier:
    
    Set the dictionary member on normalizedAlgorithm with key name key to the result of normalizing an algorithm, with the alg set to idlValue and the op set to "digest".
    
    If member is of the type AlgorithmIdentifier:
    
    Set the dictionary member on normalizedAlgorithm with key name key to the result of normalizing an algorithm, with the alg set to idlValue and the op set to the operation defined by the specification that defines the algorithm identified by algName.
  4. If an error occurred, return the error and terminate this algorithm.
Return normalizedAlgorithm.

This section is non-normative.

As this API is meant to be extensible, in order to keep up with future developments within cryptography, there are no algorithms that conforming user agents are required to implement. As such, authors should check to see what algorithms are currently recommended and supported by implementations.

As highlighted in the Security Considerations, even cryptographic algorithms that might be considered strong for one purpose may be insufficient when used with another purpose. Authors should therefore proceed with extreme caution before inventing new cryptographic protocols.

Additionally, this specification includes several algorithms which, in their default usage, can result in cryptographic vulnerabilities. While these concerns may be mitigated, such as through the combination and composition with additional algorithms provided by this specification, authors should proceed with caution and review the relevant cryptographic literature before using a given algorithm. The inclusion of algorithms within this specification is not an indicator of their suitability for any or all purpose, and instead merely serve to provide as a specification for how a conforming User Agent must implement the given algorithm, if it choses to implement the algorithm.

In order to promote interoperability for developers, this specification includes a list of suggested algorithms. These are considered to be the most widely used algorithms in practice at the time of writing, and therefore provide a good starting point for initial implementations of this specification. The suggested algorithms are:

HMAC using SHA-1
HMAC using SHA-256
RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-1
RSA-PSS using SHA-256 and MGF1 with SHA-256.
RSA-OAEP using SHA-256 and MGF1 with SHA-256.
ECDSA using P-256 curve and SHA-256
AES-CBC

This section is non-normative.

The table below contains an overview of the algorithms described within this specification, as well as the set of SubtleCrypto methods the algorithm may be used with. In order for an algorithm to be used with a method the corresponding operation or operations, as defined in the procedures for the method, must be defined in the algorithm specification. Note that this mapping of methods to underlying operations is not one-to-one:

The encrypt method requires the encrypt operation.
The decrypt method requires the decrypt operation.
The sign method requires the sign operation.
The verify method requires the verify operation.
The generateKey method requires the generateKey operation.
The importKey method requires the importKey operation.

This section is non-normative.

The "ECDSA" algorithm identifier is used to perform signing and verification using the ECDSA algorithm specified in [RFC6090] and using the SHA hash functions and elliptic curves defined in this specification.

Other specifications may specify the use of additional elliptic curves and hash algorithms with ECDSA. To specify additional hash algorithms to be used with ECDSA, a specification must define a registered algorithm that supports the digest operation. To specify an additional elliptic curve a specification must define the curve name, ECDSA signature steps, ECDSA verification steps, ECDSA generation steps, ECDSA key import steps and ECDSA key export steps.

The recognized algorithm name for this algorithm is "ECDSA".

Operation	Parameters	Result
sign	`EcdsaParams`	`ArrayBuffer`
verify	`EcdsaParams`	boolean
generateKey	`EcKeyGenParams`	`CryptoKeyPair`
importKey	`EcKeyImportParams`	`CryptoKey`
exportKey	None	object

  required HashAlgorithmIdentifier hash;
};

The hash member represents the hash algorithm to use.

WebIDLtypedef DOMString NamedCurve;

dictionary EcKeyGenParams : Algorithm {
  required NamedCurve namedCurve;
};

"P-256": NIST recommended curve P-256, also known as secp256r1.
"P-384": NIST recommended curve P-384, also known as secp384r1.
"P-521": NIST recommended curve P-521, also known as secp521r1.

Other specifications may define additional values.

The namedCurve member of the EcKeyGenParams dictionary represents a named curve.

WebIDLdictionary EcKeyAlgorithm : KeyAlgorithm {
  required NamedCurve namedCurve;
};

The namedCurve member represents the named curve that the key uses.

WebIDLdictionary EcKeyImportParams : Algorithm {
  required NamedCurve namedCurve;
};
