Description Eric Roman 2013-07-02 23:49:59 UTC 
In the per-algorithm datatables which list the (Operation x Parameters x Result), the possible choices for Operation are:

encrypt
decrypt
generateKey
deriveKey
sign
*wrap*
*unwrap*

Each of these operations is named exactly the same as a corresponding crypto.subtle method EXCEPT for wrap/unwrap.

For consistency I suggest renaming:
  "wrap" --> "wrapKey"
  "unwrap" --> "unwrapKey".

See "18.6. RSA-OAEP" for an example.
Comment 1 Eric Roman 2013-07-03 00:12:22 UTC 
This also applies to the KeyUsage enumerated values, which lists "wrap" and "unwrap". Would be consistent if these names corresponded with the operation on crypto.subtle
