[imp] Interest in Sponsoring "S/MIME signing and decryption using browser APIs"
Michael Menge
At the moment cryptographic signing and decryption of mails with imp requires
that the private key is stored on the web server.
Some years ago there was a attempt to implement S/MIME signing with
browser capabilities
for firefox (https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/2782). But the
implementation wasn't included
in IMP.
In the meantime there are projects to standardized the APIs
"Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (jose)"
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/jose/documents/
"Web Cryptography API"
https://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/
Is there anyone else that would be willing to help to fund
"S/MIME signing and decryption using browser APIs"
@horde devs how much money would be needed to implement using these APIs?
and how long would it take?
Regards
Michael
