Comment on RSA is deceptively simple and funparent

Comments

WebCrypto also supports ECDH/ECDSA, so one could get by without RSA. But point well made about it being too bad that WebCrypto doesn't offer higher level tools. I'm developing one such third-party library right now, and while HPKE[1] is a pretty thin layer on top of WebCrypto, it's unfortunate that it has to be written in JS at all. Last I checked, the crypto library sitting under Chrome (and probably Firefox as well?) already has HPKE implemented. If only there were a nice API through to it..
