Signing text with a Certificate in Netscape 6.0+ or Mozilla
kross
I'm trying to find a way to sign text with Netscape Navigator 6.0 or higher
and Mozilla using certificates.
This is no problem with Netscape 4.xx because you can use the javascript
function crypto.signText()
see http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/security/sgntxt/contents.htm
but it seems to be missing in the 6.0 en newer versions of Netscape.
I can also sign text with internet explorer 5+ using a commercial product
from Persits
see http://www.aspencrypt.com or http://www.persits.com (installs a ActiveX
component in the client IE browser for signing)
A look on the Mozilla project page reveals that form signing has a low
priority and has no release date yet
see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/psm/piptasks.html
Is there a way? Are there commercial products I could buy like the one from
Persits? I was thinking of a java-applet but could it reach the local
certificate storage on a cliënt required for signing?
Thanks for any help,
Kevin Ross

interface to operate
cipher-related steps and others. About PKCS#11, you can refer to
http://www.rsasecurity.com
for information.
Of course you can develop a token(hard or soft) to implement signature, if
you have time and capbilities.
And you can buy Rainbow iKey to finish, too.
