The EcKeyGenParams dictionary of the Web Crypto API represents the object that should be passed as the algorithm parameter into SubtleCrypto.generateKey(), when generating any elliptic-curve-based key pair: that is, when the algorithm is identified as either of ECDSA or ECDH.
Properties
name- A
DOMString. This should be set toECDSAorECDH, depending on the algorithm you want to use. namedCurve- A
DOMStringrepresenting the name of the elliptic curve to use. This may be any of the following names for NIST-approved curves:
P-256P-384P-521
Examples
See the examples for SubtleCrypto.generateKey().
