SubtleCrypto.importKey()

Nos bénévoles n'ont pas encore traduit cet article en Français. Aidez-nous à réaliser cette tâche !

The SubtleCrypto.importKey() method returns a Promise of the CryptoKey generated from the data given in parameters.

Syntax

var result = crypto.importKey(format, keyData, algo, extractable, usages);

Parameters

  • format is an enumerated value describing the data format of the key to imported. It can be one of the following:
  • keyData is an ArrayBuffer or a JSONWebKey containing the key in the given format.
  • algo is a DOMString defining the signature function to use. Supported values are: AES-CTR, AES-CBC, AES-GCM, RSA-OAEP, AES-KW, HMAC, RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5, ECDSA, ECDH, DH.
  • extractable is a Boolean indicating if the key can be extracted from the CryptoKey object at a later stage.
  • usages is an Array indicating what can be done with the key. Possible values of the array are:
    • "encrypt", allowing the key to be used for encrypting messages.
    • "decrypt", allowing the key to be used for decrypting messages.
    • "sign", allowing the key to be used for signing messages.
    • "verify", allowing the key to be used for verifying the signature of messages.
    • "deriveKey", allowing the key to be used as a base key when deriving a new key.
    • "deriveBits", allowing the key to be used as a base key when deriving bits of data for use in cryptographic primitives.
    • "wrapKey", allowing the key to wrap a symmetric key for usage (transfer, storage) in unsecure environments.
    • "unwrapKey", allowing the key to unwrap a symmetric key for usage (transfer, storage) in unsecure environments.

Return value

Exceptions

The promise is rejected when one of the following exceptions is encountered:

  • SyntaxError when keyUsages is empty but the unwrapped key is of type "secret" or "private".
  • TypeError when trying to use an invalid format or if the keyData is not suited for that format.
