    RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate()

    This article needs a technical review. How you can help.

    This is an experimental technology
    Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

    The generateCertificate() method of the RTCPeerConnection interface creates and stores an X.509 certificate and corresponding private key then returns an RTCCertificate, providing access to it.

    SyntaxEdit

    var cert = RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate(keygenAlgorithm)

    Parameters

    keygenAlgorithm
    A DOMString identifying the algorithm to use in creating the key.

    RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate() is a static method, so it is always called on the RTCPeerConnection interface itself, not an instance thereof.

    Return value

    A reference to an RTCCertificate object.

    Example

    RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate({
    name: 'RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5',
    hash: 'SHA-256',
    modulusLength: 2048,
    publicExponent: new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1])
}).then(function(cert) {
  var pc = new RTCPeerConnection({certificates: [cert]});
});
