> This specification describes a JavaScript API for performing basic
> cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing, signature
> generation and verification, and encryption and decryption.
> Additionally, it describes an API for applications to generate and/or manage
> the keying material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for this API
> range from user or service authentication, document or code signing, and the
> confidentiality and integrity of communications.
> 
> All Members who responded to the Call for Review [1] of the Proposed

> indicating that they produce or expect to produce products that use this
> specification. The specification has wide implementation and use helping
> Web applications to secure the Open Web Platform.

> Please join us in congratulating the W3C WebCrypto Working Group [2] on

> This announcement follows section 7.1.2 [3] of the W3C Process Document.
