docs/HighLevelGoals.md: mention motivations behind WASI-crypto #22

Closed ueno closed 4 years ago

ueno commented 4 years ago

I realized that there are no written references to our motivations behind WASI-crypto. I've tried to collect them from the discussions in https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/issues/65 and https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/71.

Excellent!

And that was much needed, thank you!

At WebAssembly level, it is not possible to ensure non-existence of side channels

Maybe change to "not currently possible"?

There is hope that it can be fixed at WebAssembly level.
