Using the method and parameters specified in algorithm and the keying material provided by baseKey, subtle.deriveBits() attempts to generate length bits.

The Node.js implementation requires that length, when a number, is a multiple of 8.

When length is not provided or null the maximum number of bits for a given algorithm is generated. This is allowed for the 'ECDH', 'X25519', and 'X448' algorithms, for other algorithms length is required to be a number.

If the <CryptoKey> is not extractable, the returned promise will reject.

When format is either 'pkcs8' or 'spki' and the export is successful, the returned promise will be resolved with an <ArrayBuffer> containing the exported key data.

When format is 'jwk' and the export is successful, the returned promise will be resolved with a JavaScript object conforming to the JSON Web Key specification.

In cryptography, "wrapping a key" refers to exporting and then encrypting the keying material. The subtle.unwrapKey() method attempts to decrypt a wrapped key and create a <CryptoKey> instance. It is equivalent to calling subtle.decrypt() first on the encrypted key data (using the wrappedKey, unwrapAlgo, and unwrappingKey arguments as input) then passing the results in to the subtle.importKey() method using the unwrappedKeyAlgo, extractable, and keyUsages arguments as inputs.

rsaHashedKeyGenParams.hash#

• Type: <string> | <Object>

If represented as a <string>, the value must be one of:

• 'SHA-1'
• 'SHA-256'
• 'SHA-384'
• 'SHA-512'

If represented as an <Object>, the object must have a name property whose value is one of the above listed values.

rsaHashedKeyGenParams.modulusLength#

• Type: <number>

The length in bits of the RSA modulus. As a best practice, this should be at least 2048.

rsaHashedKeyGenParams.name#

• Type: <string> Must be one of 'RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5', 'RSA-PSS', or 'RSA-OAEP'.

rsaHashedKeyGenParams.publicExponent#

• Type: <Uint8Array>

The RSA public exponent. This must be a <Uint8Array> containing a big-endian, unsigned integer that must fit within 32-bits. The <Uint8Array> may contain an arbitrary number of leading zero-bits. The value must be a prime number. Unless there is reason to use a different value, use new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1]) (65537) as the public exponent.

Class: RsaOaepParams#

rsaOaepParams.label#

• Type: <ArrayBuffer> | <TypedArray> | <DataView> | <Buffer>

An additional collection of bytes that will not be encrypted, but will be bound to the generated ciphertext.

The rsaOaepParams.label parameter is optional.

rsaOaepParams.name#

• Type: <string> must be 'RSA-OAEP'.

Class: RsaPssParams#

rsaPssParams.name#

• Type: <string> Must be 'RSA-PSS'.

rsaPssParams.saltLength#

• Type: <number>

The length (in bytes) of the random salt to use.
