I realized that there are no written references to our motivations behind WASI-crypto. I've tried to collect them from the discussions in WebAssembly/WASI#65 and bytecodealliance/wasmtime#71.

@ueno ueno force-pushed the wip/dueno/motivations branch 2 times, most recently from c711bdc to 5f16b32 Compare March 29, 2020 08:40

Excellent!

And that was much needed, thank you!

At WebAssembly level, it is not possible to ensure non-existence of side channels

Maybe change to "not currently possible"?

There is hope that it can be fixed at WebAssembly level.

This adds a new section describing why WASI-crypto is needed, before
going into the goals definition.
