Usage in Node.js #330

Closed a-i-to closed 2 years ago

a-i-to commented 2 years ago

I'd like to use pki.js on the server side (node.js). We do not expect to run it in a browser.

Main usage:

  1. Generating a key pair and issuing a certificate
  2. CMS sign and verify

Question 1: Is such usage correct? Question 2 Is it a good idea to use node-webcrypto-ossl even if it is not for testing purposes? Question 3 Are there any other limitations in the node environment?

  1. This is fine
  2. Lastest node has webcrypto
  3. No

Thanks. I am going to use LTS (v14.17.5), so I will use the external library for a while.

Use @peculiar/webcrypto for NodeJS v14. It uses NodeJS Crypto API and doesn't require C++
