That way webworkers can't access window.crypto.getRandomValues(); for example, which would be really useful. Thanks for reading. 72047 1 ddahl 2012-08-10 16:54:01 +0000 There has been some talk about also specifying a synchronous API for web workers. It is too early to tell if this will happen or not. I do think it is a good idea as other DOM APIs are doing this. 72049 2 socialbro 2012-08-10 17:11:19 +0000 okay, thank you :) 76886 3 sleevi 2012-10-22 06:28:03 +0000 Resolved to 2012-10-22 draft. The WorkerCrypto interface has been specified that allows parts of the Crypto interface to be exposed via the WorkerGlobalScope.
