{{ APIRef("Web Crypto API") }}

The EcdsaParams dictionary of the Web Crypto API represents the object that should be passed as the algorithm parameter into {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.sign()")}} or {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.verify()")}} when using the ECDSA algorithm.

Instance properties

  • name
    • : A string. This should be set to ECDSA.
  • hash
    • : A string or an object containing a single property called name with a string value. It is an identifier for the digest algorithm to use. This should be one of the following:

      • SHA-256: selects the SHA-256 algorithm.
      • SHA-384: selects the SHA-384 algorithm.
      • SHA-512: selects the SHA-512 algorithm.

      [!WARNING] SHA-1 is also supported here but the SHA-1 algorithm is considered vulnerable and should no longer be used.

Examples

See the examples for {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.sign()")}} or {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.verify()")}}.

Browser compatibility

Browsers that support the "ECDSA" algorithm for the {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.sign()")}} and {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.verify()")}} methods will support this type.
