  Description     : WebCrypto API for Node.js

 W3C's Web Cryptography API,
 which defines a standard interface
 for performing cryptographic operations in JavaScript,
 such as key generation, hashing, signing, and encryption.
 This package implements the API for Node.js,
 in order to support universal crypto-dependent code
 required by protocols such as JOSE and OpenID Connect.
 .
 JOSE is a framework intended to provide a method
 to securely transfer claims (such as authorization information)
 between parties, e.g. in systems involving OAuth 2.0.
 .
 Connect (OIDC) is an authentication layer on top of OAuth 2.0,
 an authorization framework.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

This package will be maintained in the JavaScript team.
