Re-run this jsfiddle to see the printed base64 of the key is still the same
JavaScript
window.crypto.subtle.generateKey(
{
name: "ECDSA",
namedCurve: "P-256", //can be "P-256", "P-384", or "P-521"
},
true, //whether the key is extractable (i.e. can be used in exportKey)
["sign", "verify"] //can be any combination of "sign" and "verify"
)
.then(function(key)
{
window.crypto.subtle.exportKey(
"spki", //can be "jwk" (public or private), "spki" (public only), or "pkcs8" (private only)
key.publicKey //can be a publicKey or privateKey, as long as extractable was true
).then(function(keydata)
{
// this always prints something like "A21ixmVqdCBccnOheQJ1cmNlcl0="
// I would expect it to print different string on each reload!
document.getElementById('key').innerHTML=btoa(keydata);
})
.catch(function(err){ console.error(err); });
}).catch(function(err){ console.error(err); });
