We need trusted content other then SSL

[Dennis Cheung]

The HTTPS/SSL provide many feature to protect, to encrypt, to identify
a server/client. But it is slow.

In some cases, we not want full spec. SSL but a only want a trusted
source of data.

for example, you may want you bank statement in SSL.
but for the announcements, news letter, RSS, emails
you may only want to ensure the content is approved and come from who
it claims.

We need some how a standard way to sign HTML (and javascript, css,
images, and pdf and etc...) that signed content
- not required to be encrypted
- can be cached
- can be used for legal purpose

If is now done by PGP or something 3rd party (packed JAR, DLL,
CAB...etc). I think it should be a standard in HTTP / HTML.

Perhaps this link could be useful for you

using 'Cache-Control: public'

But.... not good for non IE navigators, as ever, because his default
behaviour ?? "Do not save encrypted pages to disk".
