Idea: Utilize SubtleCrypto when webcrypto is supported by the platform #36

Closed snshn closed 7 years ago

I'd like to ask about the possibility of making scrypt-async-js to be taking advantage of window.crypto when it's available for calculating SHA-256, and possibly performing other cryptographic calculations for the sake of speeding up the performance on newer devices.

Thank you.

My apologies, have no idea how I've missed that issue. The reasoning for not implementing webcrypto makes total sense, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

No worries!
