Angular bindings and XHR for Web Cryptography API.
More information about "Web Crypto API":
- Full AngularJS module integration.
- Name based key storage for avoiding direct crypto objects access.
- Latests key exchange and encrypting algorithms.
- Native browser's "Web Crypto API" usage for maximum performance.
- $http -like service for automatic encrypt and decrypt XHR data (requires a server-side implementation).
- Web Cryptography API compatible browser, check this list.
- AngularJS
Please note that this does not work with MS IE and will never be. Using on MS Edge browser has not been tested and its likely to not work since Edge does not support ECDH.

-
Why all output is HexString encoded?
Hex String is a highly portable encoding and safe for transport in any encoding (ASCII, UTF-8, etc.)
-
Why the $httpCrypto service does not support the GET method?
Using the GET method lowers the security of the transporting data.
This library is in current development but core functionalities are working without issues and are unlikely to be modified. More extended features are comming soon.
Documentation will be soon available, for now you can try to read the source file, it is very clear.
