As of September we intend to enable the WebCrypto API by default on all platforms. It has been developed behind the dom.webcrypto.enabled preference.
Tracking bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865789 Spec: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/raw-file/tip/spec/Overview.html (A CR is planned soon, only smaller changes to the spec lately.) Reasoning: The implementation of the WebCrypto API has made lots of progress in Firefox 33+34. We added most of the basic functionality and algorithms, and should be mostly spec compliant. Chromium has had the WebCrypto API enabled by default since Crome 37, which was released in late June 2014. Their implementation supports a subset of the algorithms that we do, and has roughly the same level of spec compliance. We expect the two implementations to be mostly interoperable as-is, with some fine points being ironed out as the spec is finalized. We thus propose to enable the WebCrypto API by default for all platforms to get some more feedback from developers and give them the opportunity to use new functionality. - Tim _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
