| # //components/webcrypto plan |
| |
| This document outlines the plan for the code living in this directory. The |
| current code is more or less in maintenance mode. |
| |
| ## Code Changes |
| |
| * Investigate whether CryptoThreadPool is necessary, whether it is necessary |
| for all operations, and whether it can be use some existing more generic |
| thread pool rather than requiring a dedicated worker thread |
| (https://crbug.com/623700) |
| * Fix the semantic mismatches in JWK importing with usage masks |
| (https://crbug.com/1136147) |
| * Make AES key scheduling more efficient by not recomputing keys all the |
| time (https://crbug.com/1049916) |
| * Move the entire component into blink and get rid of a bunch of abstraction |
| layers (https://crbug.com/614385) |
| * Remove the unnecessary "threadsafety caches" in WebCrypto keys |
| (https://crbug.com/1180244) |
| |
| ## Behavior / Spec Changes (will require spec work) |
| * Either finish the X25519 / ed25519 implementation (which will probably require |
| standardizing it) or remove it (https://crbug.com/1032821) |
| * Make most of the operations synchronous instead of asynchronous - they are |
| fundamentally fast and do not need to be farmed out to worker threads, except |
| for *maybe* key generation. |
