This release is broken. Do not use!
This release adds support for using the WebCrypto API as the cryptography backend. Unlike the node:crypto module, this API is supported by all modern browsers and JS runtimes.
Technically this is a breaking change, as SecurityManager2 now needs to be instantiated asynchronously using await SecurityManager2.create() instead of new SecurityManager2(). However, we don't expect anyone to use this class directly, so this will not be marked as a semver-major release.
Changes under the hood
