Description Shubham Jindal 2014-05-20 13:38:56 UTC 
The "hash attribute of the algorithm attribute of key" is not present. The algorithm attribute of the key interface is a Key Algorithm which has just a DOMString name.
The hash attribute of the algorithm attribute of key cannot be accessed.
Example: Section 18.6.4 under "Sign" operation, Step 4 Line 2.
Comment 1 Ryan Sleevi 2014-05-20 16:25:06 UTC 
As noted in the prose, the Algorithm for RSA keys - eg: those created via importKey, generateKey, or unwrapKey - is an RsaHashedKeyAlgorithm, which is-a KeyAlgorithm, which has a hash attribute.

This is being further clarified as part of Bug 25626, so either this could be treated as a Duplicate (same root ambiguity) or as an Invalid (as it's already specified in prose the type of KeyAlgorithm on such objects)
