The generateCertificate() method of the RTCPeerConnection interface creates and stores an X.509 certificate and corresponding private key then returns an RTCCertificate, providing access to it.
Syntax
var cert = RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate(keygenAlgorithm)
Parameters
keygenAlgorithm- A
DOMStringidentifying the algorithm to use in creating the key.
RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate() is a static method, so it is always called on the RTCPeerConnection interface itself, not an instance thereof.
Return value
A reference to an RTCCertificate object.
Example
RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate({
name: 'RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5',
hash: 'SHA-256',
modulusLength: 2048,
publicExponent: new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1])
}).then(function(cert) {
var pc = new RTCPeerConnection({certificates: [cert]});
});
