Add more `worktop/crypto` helpers about worktop HOT 8 CLOSED

While worktop is still "young" I'd say go with whatever works for your use case right now, but make it easy to extend. I just set some defaults based on what I needed, but allowed everything to be passed as parameters. I'm looking forward to giving this framework a go!

Thanks @mattwebbio! Yeah, there will definitely be a worktop/jwt. Still working through the knowledge gap of importKey so that I'm not setting everyone up for limited use cases.

I looked into this a while back and created jwebt so that I could send logs from Cloudflare Workers to GCP logging (with the help of jwebt-gcp). I used "pkcs8" rather than "raw". I'm not sure what the norm would be, and it's been almost a year since I worked on it, but at the time I didn't find a lot of information about best practices.

Thanks! Yeah the next building block here is a worktop/jwt module, which I have ready to go, but again – not sure if the patterns/choices I made were specific to me.

Your links are helpful, but I think you and I are in the same position, wondering if/when different key-types are preferred. 🤷‍♂️

Let me know how it fares for you!

It's young, but I still want to avoid breaking changes as much as possible. I have 3-5 new modules' worth of code I can add but I'm shopping around for feedback before adding anything. I don't think it'd be a nice early-adopter experience to be trying something new & having to rework parts of your application on every new release.

Super excited about this project! Thought I'd cast my vote since it doesn't look like you've gotten much feedback here.

I'm planning to verify and decode JWT keys created/signed from an external application with an x509 public cert. Currently accomplishing this (outside worktop) with jsrsasign. Your suggested additions in the first comment look great!

Would wrapping something like node-jose make more sense now that Cloudflare Workers (partially) supports node modules? Or is your intention to keep dependencies to an absolute minimum at this point?

I already have the code for this, and I'd 1000% rather use native APIs already available within the runtime. The entire framework is a pure Workers target. Relying on Node.js shims is a forced dependency on extensive tooling (eg, webpack or an involved, custom shim setup) and/or reliance on a platform feature which isn't fully formed yet.
