  • 'verify' - The key may be used to verify digital signatures.
  • 'deriveKey' - The key may be used to derive a new key.
  • 'deriveBits' - The key may be used to derive bits.
  • 'wrapKey' - The key may be used to wrap another key.
  • 'unwrapKey' - The key may be used to unwrap another key.

Valid key usages depend on the key algorithm (identified by cryptokey.algorithm.name).
