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 toECDSA
orECDH
, depending on the algorithm you want to use. namedCurve
- A
DOMString
representing the name of the elliptic curve to use. This may be any of the following names for NIST-approved curves:
P-256
P-384
P-521

Browser compatibility
Browsers that support the "ECDH" or "ECDSA" algorithms for the SubtleCrypto.generateKey()
method will support this type.
