 Using the method and parameters specified in `algorithm` and the keying

+`length` bits.
+
+The Node.js implementation requires that when `length` is a
+number it must be multiple of `8`.
+
+When `length` is `null` the maximum number of bits for a given algorithm is
+generated. This is allowed for the `'ECDH'`, `'X25519'`[^1], and `'X448'`[^1]
+algorithms.

+If successful, the returned promise will be resolved with an {ArrayBuffer}

 The algorithms currently supported include:
