• RFC 7468, Section 13: SubjectPublicKeyInfo

Interfaces

Interface	Description
KeyImportOptions	Key import options.

Type Aliases

Type Alias	Description
ImportedJWK	Maps a JWK key type to the value returned by importJWK. An "oct" JWK returns Uint8Array; other supported key types return CryptoKey. A JWK whose "kty" is not statically known resolves to their union.

Functions

Function	Description
importJWK	Imports a JWK as a CryptoKey or Uint8Array. Asymmetric imports require either the "alg" argument or JWK "alg" parameter. For AKP keys, the JWK "alg" parameter is required and must match the argument when provided.
importPKCS8	Imports a PEM-encoded PKCS #8 string as a CryptoKey.
importSPKI	Imports a PEM-encoded SPKI string as a CryptoKey.
importX509	Imports a PEM-encoded X.509 certificate's public key as a CryptoKey.
