https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24830 Presently, if the other's public value for the two DH algorithms is received in spki format, then it is necessary first to import this structure to obtain a Key object and then to export that in raw format to obtain an ArrayBuffer containing the Public Value. This may then be used with deriveKey. If this is the more common use-case it would make sense to change the type of the public property of (Ec)DhDeriveParams to have type Key. If we make that change, then the other use-case where the Public Value is received in some other form and extracted to an ArrayBuffer by the application would require that ArrayBuffer to be imported to obtain a Key. Thus the steps would be the same in both cases: import the received public value, provide this Key object to deriveKey. ...Mark
