EcKeyImportParams

The EcKeyImportParams dictionary of the Web Crypto API represents the object that should be passed as the algorithm parameter into importKey() or unwrapKey(), when generating any elliptic-curve-based key pair: that is, when the algorithm is identified as either of ECDSA or ECDH.

Instance properties

• name
  • : A string. This should be set to ECDSA or ECDH, depending on the algorithm you want to use.
• namedCurve
  • : A string 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

Examples

See the examples for importKey().

Specifications

Browser compatibility

Browsers that support the “ECDH” or “ECDSA” algorithms for the importKey() or wrapKey() methods will support this type.
