Explainer None Specification https://wicg.github.io/webcrypto-modern-algos Summary Add post-quantum cryptography and a common symmetric AEAD to the set of cryptographic algorithms available in the Web Cryptography API. This will enable developers to have access browser-provided implementations of common quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms standardized by NIST. * ML-KEM - 768, 1024 * ML-DSA - 44, 65, 87 * ChaCha20-Poly1305 Blink component Blink>WebCrypto Web Feature ID web-cryptography Motivation Web Crypto exposes various low-level primitives, however none of the public/private key cryptography is currently quantum-resistant Adding quantum-resistant cryptography as a primitive to the existing WebCrypto APIs allows Javascript cryptography libraries to automatically use browser-provided cryptography (which may be more securely implemented and/or backed by a FIPS-validated underlying library), rather than compiling OpenSSL to WebAssembly or reimplementing algorithms in pure Javascript (or simply not being PQC). Many Javascript cryptography libraries fall back to WebCrypto when it is available—these libraries will now be able to use BoringSSL-provided implementations instead of pure Javascript implementations. Initial public proposal TAG review None TAG review status Pending Risks Interoperability and Compatibility None Gecko: No signal WebKit: No signal Web developers: No signals Other signals: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
