I'm wondering if OperationError would be a better choice. For 3 of the 4 other algorithms that support the derive bits operation (ECDH, DH, PBKDF2), they throw an OperationError if the provided length is not valid (which includes if the length is null). The last one (CONCAT) doesn't specify, but it is implied that it would throw an OperationError. Since HKDF is the only one that throws a TypeError if length is null, it seems like it would make more sense to throw an OperationError instead to match the behavior of other algorithms. 126534 1 watsonm 2016-05-24 00:23:13 +0000 Moved to https://github.com/w3c/webcrypto/issues/74
