Hi, I'm a Ms.C student from Politecnico di Milano, and I'm using the
WebCryptoAPI (PolyCrypto, right now) for my thesis.

I've some suggestions/questions about the WebCryptoAPI:

     1. Why don't you include the newly standardized SHA-3 hashing
        algorithm in the document?
     2. It'd be nice to have an alternative to RSA for asymmetric
        encryption, why don't you include ElGamal and EC-ElGamal?
     3. For our project we need an authenticated Diffie-Hellman key
        exchange, we plan to use HMQV [1]. We can implement it over the
        standard DH primitive, but having it native would be the best.
        Can you consider to include it?

Thanks in advance,
Alessandro Di Federico
