JavaScript Crypto Libraries

I start with a list and plan to create a comparison table.

WebCryptoAPI

http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/

This specification describes a JavaScript API for performing basic cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing, signature generation and verification, and encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes an API for applications to generate and/or manage the keying material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for this API range from user or service authentication, document or code signing, and the confidentiality and integrity of communications.

JavaScript Cryptography Toolkit

This library is an object oriented cryptography toolkit that implements several fundamental cryptographic algorithms including TWOFISH, SERPENT, RIJNDAEL, RSA with key-generation and SHA(SHA-1,224,256,384,512) for JavaScript. This library works in ActionScript as well. The unique feature of this library is asynchronous processing. A heavyweight process such as 4096bit RSA key generation will be done asynchronously so that this library does not cause problems such as freezing browsers, "slow-downing" warning dialogs, etc.
