WASM in Enigma

[mvpatel2000]

Where exactly is WASM used in this library? The description says "In a web environment, Enigma leverages on a WebAssembly-compiled version of OpenSSL to boost performances." but it seems to me it is just using Web Crypto?

Hi @mvpatel2000,
it wraps Web Crypto for basic algorithms but it leverages on WASM for more intensive operations like encrypting/hashing a whole file as a stream.
Through WASM it also provides algorithms not supported by Web Crypto like ED25519.

Thanks. So to confirm, for RSA, there is no use of WASM?

Yes, actually RSA only uses Web Crypto
