Node.js crypto.generateKeyPair() Method
The crypto.generateKeyPair() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of crypto module which is used to generate a new asymmetric key pair of the specified type. For example, the currently supported key types are RSA, DSA, EC, Ed25519, Ed448, X25519, X448, and DH. Moreover, if option’s publicKeyEncoding or privateKeyEncoding is stated here, then this function acts as if keyObject.export() had been called on its output. Else, the particular part of the key is returned as a KeyObject. However, it is suggested to encode the public keys as ‘spki’ and private keys as ‘pkcs8’ with encryption for long-term storage....

Node.js crypto.pbkdf2() Method
The crypto.pbkdf2() method gives an asynchronous Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 i.e. (PBKDF2) implementation. Moreover, a particular HMAC digest algorithm which is defined by digest is implemented to derive a key of the required byte length (keylen) from the stated password, salt, and iterations....

Node.js hash.digest() Method
The hash.digest( ) method is an inbuilt function of the crypto module’s Hash class. This is used to create the digest of the data which is passed when creating the hash. For example, when we create a hash we first create an instance of Hash using crypto.createHash() and then we update the hash content using the update( ) function but till now we did not get the resulting hash value, So to get the hash value we use the digest function which is offered by the Hash class....

Node.js crypto.generateKeyPairSync() Method
The crypto.generateKeyPairSync() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of crypto module which is used to generate a new asymmetric key pair of the specified type. For example, the currently supported key types are RSA, DSA, EC, Ed25519, Ed448, X25519, X448, and DH. Moreover, if option’s publicKeyEncoding or privateKeyEncoding is stated here, then this function acts as if keyObject.export() had been called on its output. Else, the particular part of the key is returned as a KeyObject. However, it is suggested to encode the public keys as ‘spki’ and private keys as ‘pkcs8’ with a strong passphrase, in order to keep the passphrase secret....
