method webcrypto.SubtleCrypto.generateKey
Usage
import { type webcrypto } from "node:crypto";
Using the method and parameters provided in algorithm,
subtle.generateKey() attempts to generate new keying material.
Depending the method used, the method may generate either a single <CryptoKey> or a <CryptoKeyPair>.
The <CryptoKeyPair> (public and private key) generating algorithms supported include:
-
'RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5' -
'RSA-PSS' -
'RSA-OAEP' -
'ECDSA' -
'Ed25519' -
'Ed448' -
'ECDH' -
'X25519' -
'X448'The<CryptoKey>(secret key) generating algorithms supported include: -
'HMAC' -
'AES-CTR' -
'AES-CBC' -
'AES-GCM' -
'AES-KW'
