System.security.cryptography apis throw a platformnotsupportedexception at run time when run on a browser. in previous versions, most of the system.security.cryptography apis aren't available to blazor webassembly apps.

Crypto Apis Review Blockchain Infrastructure For Web 3 0 2025 This stems from a july 2020 issue: "developers targeting browser wasm can use web crypto apis." it says the dev team would like to use platform native crypto functions and avoid shipping openssl for browser. We will add browser wasm support for common cryptography algorithms, continue the effort of removing binaryformatter from , add cose support, and address common pitfalls across the security apis. Sometimes abbreviated as wasm, it provides a portable compilation target for c# code in client side blazor webassembly, freeing microsoft centric web devs from the ubiquitous constraints of javascript when working on browser based web apps. As jf bastien points out, one shouldn't implement crypto for wasm targeting the browser due to security concerns, especially since the browser provides highly optimized and more secure web crypto apis that run outside the js context.

It could be used to wrap subtlecrypto's asynchronous api. applications with requirements to use certified crypto could find a way how to call it asynchronously. For that reason, we had to make few critical apis not supported when running inside the browser in 5 release and made libraries like azure cosmos db which need cryptographic support to do add extra compatibility code to work inside the browser. There are issues with this: system.platformnotsupportedexception: system.security.cryptography.algorithms is not supported on this platform and webassembly: aes.create () throws system.platformnotsupportedexception i guess it will be implemented in developers targeting browser wasm can use web crypto apis ?. The work to enable wasm to use subtlecrypto, #65966, had some follow ups on how to handle error cases. specifically, the communication channel with the web worker could be hardened to convey more errors failures.
