Fun fact: 1 of the biggest criticisms I received regarding mozilla::pkix was that we spent too much time making a secure ASN.1 parser. Nope.

@BrendanEich It would be very easy to do on asm.js if there was a sync API for WebCrypto in workers, or if there was wait/async in JS.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BRIAN_____ I keep nagging@SickingJ about that, it is supposedly coming (wait in worker on promise).1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@BrendanEich@SickingJ A sync API would be better for performance in this case, at least for symmetric crypto. Wasteful to simulate sync.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@BRIAN_____@BrendanEich@SickingJ Is that objective or subjective? Just curious which part you see wasteful and if that's fundamental1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@sleevi_@BrendanEich@SickingJ@slightlylate It's impl dependent, in theory. After all a really smart JIT could convert async to sync.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@sleevi_ @BrendanEich @SickingJ @slightlylate But, AFAIU Fx's implementation (may be out of date), threading overhead is high for digesting.
