Deno 1.14, the most recent replace to the TypeScript/JavaScript runtime and rival to Node.js, options quite a lot of new additions to the Web Crypto API. The Web Crypto API is a regular JavaScript API for performing cryptographic operations reminiscent of hashing, signature era, and encryption and decryption. 

Published September 14, Deno 1.14 provides crypto.delicate.exportKey(), which allows HMAC (Hash-based Messaging Authentication Code) keys to be exported in each JWK (Json Web Key) and “raw” codecs, and permits RSA keys to be exported in pkcs#eight format. Release notes cite quite a lot of different new Web Crypto APIs together with crypto.delicate.encrypt() and crypto.delicate.decrypt(), which assist RSA-OAEP (Optimal Asymetric Encryption Padding).

The builders of Deno hope to finish Deno’s Web Crypto API assist by the top of the 12 months. Other new options and enhancements in Deno 1.14:
