+**Note:** Under the hood, asynchronisation splits a crypto operation into small chunks. After the completion of a chunk, the execution of the next chunk is placed on the back of [JS event loop queue](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/EventLoop), thus efficiently sharing the computational resources with the other operations in the queue.
