> W3C Web Cryptography API for Node.js

W3C's [Web Cryptography API][webcrypto] defines a standard interface for performing
cryptographic operations in JavaScript, such as key generation, hashing, signing, and
encryption. This package implements the API for Node.js, in order to support universal
crypto-dependent code required by protocols such as [JOSE][jose] and
[OpenID Connect][oidc].

## Background

The purpose of this package is to enable development of universal JavaScript
libraries that depend on the availability of cryptographic primitives in order
to implement cryptographic protocols. The long term goal of the project is to
encourage or provide a [native, if not core][wtf] Web Cryptography module.

## Install

`@trust/webcrypto` requires recent versions of [node][node] and [npm][npm] to run. For key generation operations, it also requires [OpenSSL][openssl] to be installed on the system.

[node]: https://nodejs.org
[npm]: https://www.npmjs.com/
[openssl]: https://www.openssl.org/


```bash
$ npm install @trust/webcrypto --save
```

## Usage

```javascript
const crypto = require('@trust/webcrypto')
```

## Develop

### Install

```bash
$ git clone git@github.com:anvilresearch/webcrypto.git
$ cd webcrypto
$ npm install
```

### Test

```bash
$ npm test
```
