Crypto - Web APIs | MDN (original) (raw)
Baseline
Widely available
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The Crypto interface represents basic cryptography features available in the current context. It allows access to a cryptographically strong random number generator and to cryptographic primitives.
The Crypto is available in windows using the Window.crypto property and in workers using the WorkerGlobalScope.crypto property.
Instance properties

Instance methods
This interface implements methods defined on RandomSource.
Fills the passed TypedArray with cryptographically sound random values.
Crypto.randomUUID() Secure context
