Why are RSA APIs marked as "not recommended"? #50
Description
Hi, thanks for this, this has been my #1 frequently visited website in the last couple of months.
I have a question. When I look at the demo page at https://diafygi.github.io/webcrypto-examples/ I understand why some of them are "not recommended" and colored out as red, but don't understand why all the RSA APIs are marked as "not recommended".
I don't think there's anything wrong with RSA algorithms, in fact some people don't trust ECC algorithms because of a possible NSA backdoor and also the fact that it could be more vulnerable to quantum computing, etc. I think it's all subjective, and I personally plan on using RSA for my application instead of ECC for these reasons. (My application is not resource constrained so don't really need the keys to be short)
I was wondering if I'm seeing this wrong or if there was a reason behind this decision. Thank you!
