SubtleCrypto.supports() allows feature detection in Web Crypto API, which can be used to detect whether a given algorithm identifier (including its parameters) is supported for the given operation.

This example derives a key from a password using Argon2, if available, or PBKDF2, otherwise; and then encrypts and decrypts some text with it using AES-OCB, if available, and AES-GCM, otherwise.

In cryptography, "wrapping a key" refers to exporting and then encrypting the keying material. This method exports the keying material into the format identified by format, then encrypts it using the method and parameters specified by wrapAlgo and the keying material provided by wrappingKey. It is the equivalent to calling subtle.exportKey() using format and key as the arguments, then passing the result to the subtle.encrypt() method using wrappingKey and wrapAlgo as inputs. If successful, the returned promise will be resolved with an <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/ArrayBuffer" class="type"><ArrayBuffer></a> containing the encrypted key data.
