Ad-Hoc SSL in Angular (and backend)

284 Views Asked by At

Most of the frontend web frameworks are just a few years old, and are rapidly changing. Are there any recent JS packages or libraries that do SSL very well?

It can cost quite a bit of money to enable SSL with cloud hosting platforms, registrars, etc.

Whatever private keys our browsers use for their typical SSL behavior should be accessible to a javascript app running in that browser, no?

The ideal situation would be to encode information within Javascript so that, on the backend server, in some backend framework, it was indistinguishable (from a developer's perspective) from standard browser-implemented SSL.

SO has some posts about it, but none of them are very recent. This SO post has perspectives from 2011 through 2014, and this SO post from circa 2013.

If someone built something that did this in Javascript, then, for example, ideally, an Angular app could incorporate it by putting something in app.config() regarding $routeProvider or $httpProvider
