Hello All: [I have cross posted this message to dev-platform and dev-tech-crypto, perhaps we should discuss this on dev-platform as it has a larger subscriber base?].
I am just putting together a draft feature page for an internal API needed by the eventual DOM bindings for DOMCrypt (see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Privacy/Features/DOMCryptAPISpec/Latest and http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/ ). I would like for this API to not only support the eventual Web Crypto API, but also to allow extension developers to have a useful, high-level API to work with. This seems to be quite in demand based on the number of companies and developers who have contacted me about hacking on my fork of WeaveCrypto ( in the DOMCrypt Extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/domcrypt/ .) Mozilla developers will also be able to take advantage of this internal API to more easily create browser features and/or extensions in the security and privacy space. I would also like to produce a Jetpack wrapper. The existing spec for DOMCrypt will no doubt change very soon as the Web Crypto Working Group is ramping up and based on discussions with bent and khuey, we need to move to an event-driven interface. The Internal API described on this feature page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/DOMCryptInternalAPI should be able to handle that, however, some wider discussion and feedback will really be appreciated, especially with all of the changes in line for our DOM bindings. The initial work for this internal API is in bug 649154. Regards, David -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
