<p>The <code><strong>Crypto</strong></code> interface represents basic cryptography features available in the current context. It allows access to a cryptographically strong random number generator and to cryptographic primitives.</p>

<p>An object with this interface is available on Web context via the {{domxref("Window.crypto")}} property.</p>
