The [`subtle.importKey()`][] method attempts to interpret the provided `keyData`
This method attempts to interpret the provided `keyData`
as the given `format` to create a {CryptoKey} instance using the provided
`algorithm`, `extractable`, and `keyUsages` arguments. If the import is
successful, the returned promise will be resolved with the created {CryptoKey}.
successful, the returned promise will be resolved with a {CryptoKey}
representation of the key material.

If importing KDF algorithm keys, `extractable` must be `false`.
