Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 Build ID: 20160711004013 Steps to reproduce: Run the following code in the JavaScript console: crypto.subtle.generateKey( {name: "RSA-OAEP", publicExponent: new Uint8Array([1]), modulusLength: 1024, hash: "SHA-1"}, true, ["encrypt", "decrypt"]) .catch(function(err) {console.log(err.name);}) Actual results: It displayed "UnknownError". Expected results: It should have displayed "OperationError". A public exponent of 1 cannot create an RSA key pair, so (per steps 2 and 3 of the Generate Key operation at https://w3c.github.io/webcrypto/Overview.html#rsa-oaep-operations) OperationError should be thrown.
