Checking for runtime algorithm support#

SubtleCrypto.supports() allows feature detection in Web Crypto API, which can be used to detect whether a given algorithm identifier (including its parameters) is supported for the given operation.

This example derives a key from a password using Argon2, if available, or PBKDF2, otherwise; and then encrypts and decrypts some text with it using AES-OCB, if available, and AES-GCM, otherwise.

const { SubtleCrypto, crypto } = globalThis;

const password = 'correct horse battery staple';
const derivationAlg =
  SubtleCrypto.supports?.('importKey', 'Argon2id') ?
    'Argon2id' :
    'PBKDF2';
const encryptionAlg =
  SubtleCrypto.supports?.('importKey', 'AES-OCB') ?
    'AES-OCB' :
    'AES-GCM';
const passwordKey = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
  derivationAlg === 'Argon2id' ? 'raw-secret' : 'raw',
  new TextEncoder().encode(password),
  derivationAlg,
  false,
  ['deriveKey'],
);
const nonce = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16));
const derivationParams =
  derivationAlg === 'Argon2id' ?
    {
      nonce,
      parallelism: 4,
      memory: 2 ** 21,
      passes: 1,
    } :
    {
      salt: nonce,
      iterations: 100_000,
      hash: 'SHA-256',
    };
const key = await crypto.subtle.deriveKey(
  {
    name: derivationAlg,
    ...derivationParams,
  },
  passwordKey,
  {
    name: encryptionAlg,
    length: 256,
  },
  false,
  ['encrypt', 'decrypt'],
);
const plaintext = 'Hello, world!';
const iv = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16));
const encrypted = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
  { name: encryptionAlg, iv },
  key,
  new TextEncoder().encode(plaintext),
);
const decrypted = new TextDecoder().decode(await crypto.subtle.decrypt(
  { name: encryptionAlg, iv },
  key,
  encrypted,
)); copy
