The CryptoKeyPair
dictionary of the Web Crypto API represents a key pair for an asymmetric cryptography algorithm, also known as a public-key algorithm.
A CryptoKeyPair
object can be obtained using SubtleCrypto.generateKey()
, when the selected algorithm is one of the asymmetric algorithms: RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5, RSA-PSS, RSA-OAEP, ECDSA, or ECDH.
It contains two properties, which are both CryptoKey
objects: a privateKey
property containing the private key and a publicKey
property containing the public key.
