This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The generateCertificate() method of the RTCPeerConnection interface creates and stores an X.509 certificate and corresponding private key then returns an RTCCertificate, providing access to it.
var cert = RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate(keygenAlgorithm)
DOMString identifying the algorithm to use in creating the key.RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate() is a static method, so it is always called on the RTCPeerConnection interface itself, not an instance thereof.
A reference to an RTCCertificate object.
RTCPeerConnection.generateCertificate({
name: 'RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5',
hash: 'SHA-256',
modulusLength: 2048,
publicExponent: new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1])
}).then(function(cert) {
var pc = new RTCPeerConnection({certificates: [cert]});
