I just installed and ran the application. It generates RSA keys with SHA1 hash and PKCS #1 padding scheme. In Firefox it will generate 2048 bit keys but Opera will generate keys up to 4096 bit.
The keys are good for signing and cryptographic negotiation and expire after 1 year. Firefox and Opera Javascript have a method crypto.signText() which apparently will support signing of form data on the client side which has a wide array of use cases including signing XWikiDocuments in so they can be imported and exported while retaining their author field. see: http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6152-10/sgntxt.htm Currently there is no component in the application for validating keys, only creating them. Here's my +1 for adding to the incubator and continuing to explore use cases.
