> Stability: 2 - Stable
Node.js provides an implementation of the standard [Web Crypto API][].
Use `globalThis.crypto` or `require('node:crypto').webcrypto` to access this
module.
```js
const { subtle } = globalThis.crypto;
(async function() {
const key = await subtle.generateKey({
name: 'HMAC',
hash: 'SHA-256',
length: 256,
}, true, ['sign', 'verify']);
const enc = new TextEncoder();
const message = enc.encode('I love cupcakes');
const digest = await subtle.sign({
name: 'HMAC',
}, key, message);
})();
```
## Examples
### Generating keys
The {SubtleCrypto} class can be used to generate symmetric (secret) keys
or asymmetric key pairs (public key and private key).
#### AES keys
```js
const { subtle } = globalThis.crypto;
async function generateAesKey(length = 256) {
const key = await subtle.generateKey({
name: 'AES-CBC',
length,
}, true, ['encrypt', 'decrypt']);
return key;
}
```
#### ECDSA key pairs
```js
const { subtle } = globalThis.crypto;
async function generateEcKey(namedCurve = 'P-521') {
const {
publicKey,
privateKey,
} = await subtle.generateKey({
name: 'ECDSA',
namedCurve,
}, true, ['sign', 'verify']);
return { publicKey, privateKey };
}
```
#### Ed25519/Ed448/X25519/X448 key pairs
> Stability: 1 - Experimental
```js
const { subtle } = globalThis.crypto;
async function generateEd25519Key() {
return subtle.generateKey({
name: 'Ed25519',
}, true, ['sign', 'verify']);
}
async function generateX25519Key() {
return subtle.generateKey({
name: 'X25519',
}, true, ['deriveKey']);
}
```

```js
const { subtle } = globalThis.crypto;
async function generateHmacKey(hash = 'SHA-256') {
const key = await subtle.generateKey({
name: 'HMAC',
hash,
}, true, ['sign', 'verify']);
return key;
}
```
#### RSA key pairs
```js
const { subtle } = globalThis.crypto;
const publicExponent = new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1]);
async function generateRsaKey(modulusLength = 2048, hash = 'SHA-256') {
const {
publicKey,
privateKey,
} = await subtle.generateKey({
name: 'RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5',
modulusLength,
publicExponent,
hash,
}, true, ['sign', 'verify']);
return { publicKey, privateKey };
}
```
### Encryption and decryption
```js
const crypto = globalThis.crypto;
async function aesEncrypt(plaintext) {
const ec = new TextEncoder();
const key = await generateAesKey();
const iv = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16));
const ciphertext = await crypto.subtle.encrypt({
name: 'AES-CBC',
iv,
}, key, ec.encode(plaintext));
return {
key,
iv,
ciphertext,
};
}
async function aesDecrypt(ciphertext, key, iv) {

const key = await subtle.importKey(format, keyData, {
name: 'HMAC',
hash,
}, true, ['sign', 'verify']);
return key;
}
```

* `data`: {ArrayBuffer|TypedArray|DataView|Buffer}
* Returns: {Promise} Fulfills with an {ArrayBuffer}
Using the method and parameters specified in `algorithm` and the keying
material provided by `key`, `subtle.decrypt()` attempts to decipher the
provided `data`. If successful, the returned promise will be resolved with
an {ArrayBuffer} containing the plaintext result.
The algorithms currently supported include:
* `'RSA-OAEP'`
* `'AES-CTR'`
* `'AES-CBC'`
* `'AES-GCM'`
### `subtle.deriveBits(algorithm, baseKey[, length])`

* `baseKey`: {CryptoKey}
* `length`: {number|null} **Default:** `null`
* Returns: {Promise} Fulfills with an {ArrayBuffer}
<!--lint enable maximum-line-length remark-lint-->
Using the method and parameters specified in `algorithm` and the keying
material provided by `baseKey`, `subtle.deriveBits()` attempts to generate
`length` bits.
The Node.js implementation requires that `length`, when a number, is a multiple
of `8`.
When `length` is not provided or `null` the maximum number of bits for a given
algorithm is generated. This is allowed for the `'ECDH'`, `'X25519'`, and `'X448'`
algorithms, for other algorithms `length` is required to be a number.
If successful, the returned promise will be resolved with an {ArrayBuffer}
containing the generated data.
The algorithms currently supported include:
* `'ECDH'`
* `'X25519'` <span class="experimental-inline"></span>[^1]

* Returns: {Promise} Fulfills with a {CryptoKey}
<!--lint enable maximum-line-length remark-lint-->
Using the method and parameters specified in `algorithm`, and the keying
material provided by `baseKey`, `subtle.deriveKey()` attempts to generate
a new {CryptoKey} based on the method and parameters in `derivedKeyAlgorithm`.
Calling `subtle.deriveKey()` is equivalent to calling `subtle.deriveBits()` to
generate raw keying material, then passing the result into the
`subtle.importKey()` method using the `deriveKeyAlgorithm`, `extractable`, and
`keyUsages` parameters as input.
The algorithms currently supported include:
* `'ECDH'`
* `'X25519'` <span class="experimental-inline"></span>[^1]
* `'X448'` <span class="experimental-inline"></span>[^1]

<!-- YAML
added: v15.0.0
-->
* `algorithm`: {string|Object}
* `data`: {ArrayBuffer|TypedArray|DataView|Buffer}
* Returns: {Promise} Fulfills with an {ArrayBuffer}
Using the method identified by `algorithm`, `subtle.digest()` attempts to
generate a digest of `data`. If successful, the returned promise is resolved
with an {ArrayBuffer} containing the computed digest.
If `algorithm` is provided as a {string}, it must be one of:
* `'SHA-1'`
* `'SHA-256'`
* `'SHA-384'`
* `'SHA-512'`
If `algorithm` is provided as an {Object}, it must have a `name` property
whose value is one of the above.

-->
* `algorithm`: {RsaOaepParams|AesCtrParams|AesCbcParams|AesGcmParams}
* `key`: {CryptoKey}
* `data`: {ArrayBuffer|TypedArray|DataView|Buffer}
* Returns: {Promise} Fulfills with an {ArrayBuffer}
Using the method and parameters specified by `algorithm` and the keying
material provided by `key`, `subtle.encrypt()` attempts to encipher `data`.
If successful, the returned promise is resolved with an {ArrayBuffer}
containing the encrypted result.
The algorithms currently supported include:
* `'RSA-OAEP'`
* `'AES-CTR'`
* `'AES-CBC'`
* `'AES-GCM'`

Exports the given key into the specified format, if supported.
If the {CryptoKey} is not extractable, the returned promise will reject.
When `format` is either `'pkcs8'` or `'spki'` and the export is successful,
the returned promise will be resolved with an {ArrayBuffer} containing the
exported key data.
When `format` is `'jwk'` and the export is successful, the returned promise
will be resolved with a JavaScript object conforming to the [JSON Web Key][]
specification.

as the given `format` to create a {CryptoKey} instance using the provided
`algorithm`, `extractable`, and `keyUsages` arguments. If the import is
successful, the returned promise will be resolved with the created {CryptoKey}.
If importing a `'PBKDF2'` key, `extractable` must be `false`.

In cryptography, "wrapping a key" refers to exporting and then encrypting the
keying material. The `subtle.unwrapKey()` method attempts to decrypt a wrapped
key and create a {CryptoKey} instance. It is equivalent to calling
`subtle.decrypt()` first on the encrypted key data (using the `wrappedKey`,
`unwrapAlgo`, and `unwrappingKey` arguments as input) then passing the results
in to the `subtle.importKey()` method using the `unwrappedKeyAlgo`,
`extractable`, and `keyUsages` arguments as inputs. If successful, the returned
promise is resolved with a {CryptoKey} object.
The wrapping algorithms currently supported include:

In cryptography, "wrapping a key" refers to exporting and then encrypting the
keying material. The `subtle.wrapKey()` method exports the keying material into
the format identified by `format`, then encrypts it using the method and
parameters specified by `wrapAlgo` and the keying material provided by
`wrappingKey`. It is the equivalent to calling `subtle.exportKey()` using
`format` and `key` as the arguments, then passing the result to the
`subtle.encrypt()` method using `wrappingKey` and `wrapAlgo` as inputs. If
successful, the returned promise will be resolved with an {ArrayBuffer}
containing the encrypted key data.
The wrapping algorithms currently supported include:
* `'RSA-OAEP'`
* `'AES-CTR'`
* `'AES-CBC'`
* `'AES-GCM'`
* `'AES-KW'`
