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

The EcKeyImportParams dictionary of the Web Crypto API represents the object that should be passed as the algorithm parameter into {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.importKey()")}} or {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.unwrapKey()")}}, when generating any elliptic-curve-based key pair: that is, when the algorithm is identified as either of ECDSA or ECDH.

Instance properties

  • name
    • : A string. This should be set to ECDSA or ECDH, depending on the algorithm you want to use.
  • namedCurve
    • : A string representing the name of the elliptic curve to use. This may be any of the following names for NIST-approved curves:
      • P-256
      • P-384
      • P-521

Examples

See the examples for {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.importKey()")}}.

Browser compatibility

Browsers that support the "ECDH" or "ECDSA" algorithms for the {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.importKey()")}} or {{domxref("SubtleCrypto.wrapKey()")}} methods will support this type.
