You could even take it a step further and use digital signatures as opposed to file hashes, such as used by Debian for package management. Although I don't know what difficulties would be faced in introducing the necessary cryptographic functions/libraries to the LibreJS add-on so it might be infeasible. -- Andrew Roffey http://andrew.roffey.org mailto|xmpp:[email protected] see website for GPG/OTR pubkeys
