Description
The Encryption SDK should support streaming for large files.
The message is already framed,
so the fact that AES-GCM operations in WebCrypto are one-shot is not an issue.
This is actually a benefit since a partial decrypt of AES-GCM
without verifying the MAC is a security issue.
However, all the WebCrypto APIs are one-shot.
Streaming the signature or digest functions is not supported.
This issue is to track all streaming support,
and sub issues can be opened to address specific parts
or point solutions.
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the browser WebCrypto APIs used by the Encryption SDK and its existing message framing, then break the broad streaming-support request into specific subissues. Done is defined by adding the missing browser streaming support, but the exact components and acceptance tests are not specified.
