The CryptoKeyPair dictionary of the Web Crypto API represents a key pair for an asymmetric cryptography algorithm, also known as a public-key algorithm.

A CryptoKeyPair object can be obtained using [` {{APIRef(“Web Crypto API”)}}

The CryptoKeyPair dictionary of the Web Crypto API represents a key pair for an asymmetric cryptography algorithm, also known as a public-key algorithm/

A CryptoKeyPair object can be obtained using {{domxref(“SubtleCrypto/generateKey()”)}}, when the selected algorithm is one of the asymmetric algorithms: RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5, RSA-PSS, RSA-OAEP, ECDSA, or ECDH/

It contains two properties, which are both CryptoKey objects: a privateKey property containing the private key and a publicKey property containing the public key/

Instance properties

  • CryptoKeyPair/privateKey

    • : A CryptoKey object representing the private key/ For encryption and decryption algorithms, this key is used to decrypt/ For signing and verification algorithms it is used to sign/

    CryptoKeyPair/publicKey

    • : A CryptoKey object representing the public key/ For encryption and decryption algorithms, this key is used to encrypt/ For signing and verification algorithms it is used to verify signatures/

Examples

The examples for SubtleCrypto methods often use CryptoKeyPair objects/ For example:
