Cryptography for JavaScript in web browsers has gone mainstream thanks to the new Web Cryptography API. Why was the API needed and how can you use it? This talk will cover use cases, background technology needed, and how to go beyond the basics provided by the API. There will be code: examples for key generation, public key encryption and decryption, and digital signatures and verification.
