I'm working on web-platform-dx/web-features, which will provide a uniform data set for use by MDN, Caniuse, etc.

What's the spec editor preference for referring to this API?

Based on this repo, it seems like "short name" of webcrypto and an expanded formal name of "Web Cryptography API" are used.

Thanks for any input!

Yes, sounds good to me, thanks!

Got merged here: https://github.com/web-platform-dx/web-features/pull/1577

The general approach is to not include API, and possibly even remove Web at some point. But at this early stage, settled on Web Cryptography.

We're also figuring out the best way to 1) involve spec authors and 2) share results and feedback with them. So someone may wheel back around here at some point.
