Microsoft Report publishes MS JavaScript encryption library

Microsoft Research exposes a JavaScript encryption library that is in the development phase, and developers and researchers interested in cloud security and browser security have the opportunity to peek inside the crypto library.

HTML5 's cloud services work together. Microsoft says Ms JavaScript encryption libraries have been tested in IE11 interface environments.

But Ms JavaScript encryption library is not limited to IE11. Microsoft says the encryption library has been tested for IE8 or later Internet Explorer browsers, current versions of Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari browsers.

The encryption capabilities supported by the MS JavaScript encryption library include RSA Pkcs#1 v1.5, OAEP, and PSS; the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) in the library satisfies the AES-CTR specification, and the NIST threaded KDF (key export function) is also included.

MS JavaScript Encryption library contains a large integer operation library, these include "addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, simplification, negation, GCD (greatest), extended Euclidean algorithm (EEA), Montgomery Multiplication and power" operations, but Microsoft's note that the large integer computing library may be replaced in the new version.

Microsoft says the MS JavaScript encryption library supports most of the Webcrypto APIs (interested readers can search the web for information), in addition to the API labeled "or".

Because the MS JavaScript encryption library is still in the development phase, the use of the encryption library at this stage will routinely have the "presence of risk to do" restrictions.
