How can I enhance security in my Vue 3 application using the Web Crypto API?

You can enhance security by using the Web Crypto API for tasks like hashing, encryption, and generating secure random values.

Can you give me an example of how to hash a password using the Web Crypto API?

Sure! You can use the subtle.digest method to hash a password. Here's a simple example:

const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const data = encoder.encode('your-password');
const hash = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', data);

What about encrypting sensitive data?

For encryption, you can use the subtle.encrypt method. You'll need to generate a key first. Here's a basic example:

const key = await crypto.subtle.generateKey({
  name: 'AES-GCM',
  length: 256,
}, true, ['encrypt', 'decrypt']);

Are there any best practices I should follow?

Yes, always use secure algorithms, manage keys properly, and avoid exposing sensitive data in your code.
