Frequently asked questions

Is my secret key uploaded?

No. Signing uses the Web Crypto API locally, so neither the key nor the message leaves your browser.

Why use HMAC instead of a plain hash?

A plain hash can be recomputed by anyone. An HMAC requires the secret key, which lets a receiver verify that a message is authentic and unmodified.

Does it need HTTPS?

Yes. Web Crypto is only available in a secure context (HTTPS or localhost).
