Node Crypto module polyfill - how to use?

Forge Forge Platform and Tools
1

Did anyone get recently added crypto polyfill to work?

I tried to import a function to generate key pairs but it never worked (Object is not a function)
import { generateKeyPairSync } from 'crypto'

Also, tried crypto.subtle.generateKeys and a few other ways but always hit the wall.

Any guidance on how to use crypto from Forge runtime?

The crypto polyfill used in the Forge runtime is crypto-browserify. It only supports a subset of the Node.js crypto module and, unfortunately, generateKeyPairSync isn’t one of the supported functions. :frowning:

Thanks for your reply and saving the day!

Since it includes publicEncrypt/privateDecrypt (rsa), according to the description on NPM it would mainly do the trick.
