Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The Crypto interface represents basic cryptography features available in the current context.
It allows access to a cryptographically strong random number generator and to cryptographic primitives.
The Crypto is available in windows using the Window.crypto property and in workers using the the WorkerGlobalScope.crypto property.
