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.
Syntax
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]}); });
