types.KeyLike

Ƭ KeyLike: KeyObject | CryptoKey | Uint8Array

KeyLike are platform-specific references to keying material.

• KeyObject instances come from node's crypto module, e.g.:
  • crypto.generateKeyPair
  • crypto.createPublicKey
  • crypto.createPrivateKey
  • crypto.createSecretKey
• CryptoKey instances come from Web Cryptography API, e.g.:
  • SubtleCrypto.importKey
  • SubtleCrypto.generateKey
• Uint8Array is used exclusively for symmetric secret representations, a CryptoKey or KeyObject is preferred, but in Web Crypto API this isn't an option for some algorithms.
