Broad question but we are reviewing desktop application technologies and we need cryptography support. We need a cross platform application and have considered using electron with angular and typescript. Some data needs to be stored in encrypted form and the keys are derived from the user’s password.

I read one article about browser javascript and it makes sense since delivery of the cryptography primitive can be compromised in such an ever changing environment but I believe it doesn’t stand true for electron and nodejs.

• What are the problems with nodejs crypto module and the typescript programming language that can potentially break cryptography?

• Is nodejs cryptography also doomed?
