Web Cryptography API (W3C Working Draft 25 June 2013)

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 CryptoOperation interface, which defines a common set of methods and events for dealing with initialization, processing data, and completing the operation to yield the final output. 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, key import and export, and key discovery.
