879674 - WebCrypto: Implement importKey

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 995385

(Core :: Security, defect)

Description

[Yoshi Cheng-Hao Huang [:allstars.chh][:allstarschh][:yoshi]]

From http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/#crypto-interface,
we could start implementing 'importKey' interface, the current use case is this API could be used to import a PKCS 12 file.

The question is that what value should be returnd in KeyOperation?

Should it be the 'nickname' from NSS? 
And later we could use this 'nickname' to obtain the keys by CryptoKey.getKeysByName, See clause 7.3 from http://www.w3.org/TR/webcrypto-key-discovery/

Add WebIDL for WebCrypto.ImportKey()
Some syntax are modified due to not supported or naming issue.

Just function declaration, no implementation yet.
