The Web Real-Time Communications Working Group has published a Working Draft of WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between Browsers. This document defines a set of ECMAScript APIs in WebIDL to allow media to be sent to and received from another browser or device implementing the appropriate set of real-time protocols. This specification is being developed in conjunction with a protocol specification developed by the IETF RTCWEB group and an API specification to get access to local media devices developed by the Media Capture Task Force.

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a Working Draft of CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1. This CSS module defines a two-dimensional grid-based layout system, optimized for user interface design. In the grid layout model, the children of a grid container can be positioned into arbitrary slots in a flexible or fixed predefined layout grid. CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc. Learn more about the Style Activity.

The Web Cryptography Working Group has published a Group Note of Web Cryptography API Use Cases. These use cases, described as scenarios, represent some of the set of expected functionality that may be achieved by the Web Cryptography API which provides an API for cryptographic operations such as encryption and decryption, and the Key Discovery API, which specifically covers the ability to access cryptographic keys that have been pre-provisioned. As both APIs are under construction, the reader should consult each specification for changes, and should treat sample code provided here as illustrative only. Presented here are primary use cases, showing what the working group hopes to achieve first. This document is NOT a recommendation track document, and should be read as an informative overview of the target use cases for a cryptographic API for the web. Learn more about the Security Activity.
