Details

WebPush allows for end-to-end data encryption using p256 EC based AES-GCM encoding (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-thomson-webpush-encryption-01). The client js implementation is already created and using the embedded WebCrypto engine (https://github.com/martinthomson/encrypted-content-encoding). Since Push-GCM may work at a lower level than the browser level, it may be useful to have a data decryption layer lower than the DOM and JS layer. This would allow internal functions like Sync and FxA requests to use data in a light-weight manner.
Apps can use internal functions.
